United Statesa month ago One of my favourite podcasts. Likeable and knowledgeable hosts that strike the perfect balance between analysis and light-hearted conversation. Alongside only two other podcasts, I'll go back and listen to older episodes regularly. I just wish it was more regular than monthly.
Podcast Addict52 years agoMatroska- These guys are fans?
I’ve listened to a handful of episodes and they appear to dislike, as a whole, every episode of Doctor Who. Even episodes Eric and Kyle say they like are belittled so badly it’s confusing. Everyone is entitled to express their opinion, I just don’t understand spending so much time on something you seem to not like.

Prefer shows that find the positive in every episode. And that aren’t quite as condescending. If I like an episode they don’t I guess I’m stupid or something.
Apple Podcasts5Field357United States5 years ago One of my favourites. The two hosts have great chemistry and both make interesting and well explained points about the script of each episode. Overall, entertaining and intelligent.
