Customer Reviews
I'm hooked by these kooky, charming weirdos
The story itself is pretty interesting but made more so by Melissa's colourful and expletive laden tangents. These two are infinitely endearing. I just put on this podcast while grinding away at my mundane job.
Uncovered a rare treasure
Buying a magical (but trashed) theatre on an obsessive quest to restore it to its former glory, Mel and Matt find themselves on a true-life treasure hunt. What follows is an entertaining and unpredictable quest to dig up stuff (stuff that’s more valuable than the insult-comic talking doll they discover early on), but it’s their easy connection and compelling, subtly structured storytelling that’s the real treasure here. A find in themselves (and you don’t even have to get your hands dirty, they’ve done all the hard work for you).
