A very detailed and solid podcast that goes over episodes of Babylon 5 in a very formal and critical manner whilst still injecting some humour.
This podcast is fantastic. I am loving the opportunity to rewatch B5 and enjoy the commentary and insights of two experts of both B5 and the overall sci fi genre. The hosts are both knowledgeable and entertaining and I look forward to my regular dose of this excellent podcast.
I have listened to them all Andy and Van Allen talk intelligently about this wonderful series. They will not spoil anything for new watchers either. If you love the show you must listen to this podcast.
