  • You’ll find them in the dictionary under “charming”

    Phil & Eric are entertainment machines who cover everything from 20th century darlings, foreign masterpieces, and lesser known films like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. You may not think you want to hear a random cosplayer or streamer’s story but their witty banter, lack of sports knowledge, and willingness to learn nothing will immediately hook listeners. It’s just too bad they don’t understand CINEMA and can’t appreciate Studio Ghibli or Godzilla.

  • The Go-to Podcast for Pop Culture!

    Eric & Phil do such a great job each episode covering everything Pop Culture: video games, tv series, movies, etc. They have a great banter together and the shows never fail to entertain me. Some of my favorite series they produce are “What Did I Miss?” and “Why you should watch -blank- in Less Than 10 Minutes!”
