  • I feel like this is nothing I couldn't learn myself by just reading tfwiki. Most episodes are recaps of shows/comics and others are just him reading lists of names and tech spec numbers. The host himself is uncharismatic and a bore to listen to; it doesn't help that he keeps trying to force unfunny jokes and music cues. The audio is bad too. The host's is quiet I'll turn up the volume, only to be deafened by song or movie clip. For a guy who works in media he doesn't know how normalize
