Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 59 ratings
  • 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!”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Did I Miss? (October 2026)
Q: What do you guys think about some of this news that's been coming out recently around PlayStation?
The guests see the technical progress as exciting for game preservation and access, while recognizing ethical questions around AI, piracy, and digital ownership. They also frame it as a possible response to restrictions on physical games and platform access.
What Did I Miss? (October 2026)
Q: What are your thoughts on the whole matter?
The guests say AI-generated creative assets can undermine indie developers and make game discovery harder, while distinguishing that use from AI tools that assist coding or proofreading. They understand why Valve avoids a blanket ban but want better disclosure and enforcement against low-effort clones.
The Characters We Love & The Actors Behind Them (Ocala Comic Con 2026 Interviews)
Q: Was that the case for The Fix, and if there was a role that came today without getting too personal, what would be the parallel for you now?
Wes Chatham says actors can connect a character's obstacle to something they are facing in life. As a father of two boys, he expects fatherhood and raising children to become parallels in future roles, and says he recently played a father for the first time.
The Characters We Love & The Actors Behind Them (Ocala Comic Con 2026 Interviews)
Q: What's it like realizing that something you experienced as a job in your 20s, 20 years ago became a memory that people have carried for decades?
Amy Jo Johnson says the response has been one of the biggest blessings of her life. Meeting fans who grew up with Power Rangers and hearing that the cast felt like their babysitters has made her grateful for the role and their support.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm Cast Interviews (Bold Matsuri 2026)
Q: What impact do you hope your work has on representation in animation and anime in the United States?
I want to create a space where American storytellers can explore manga- and anime-inspired narratives safely and collaboratively, giving a platform to diverse voices and helping aspiring talents see themselves reflected in these roles.
