I hate most podcasts so much that i can give All Units a glowing recommendation and not even mention the content of the show - all i need to do is list the things it doesn't do. All Units does not have Two Identical LA Comedians Who Can't Get Enough Of Each Other; nor does it have a lone comedian/ex-musician/guy who goes on and on about every aspect of His Fascinating Problems other than actually trying to address them/etc who takes between 10 and 79 minutes to start talking about the promised topic of the episode; nor does the host have have Pretentious 26-Year-Old True Crime Podcater Voice, set to the minimalist chords of Annoying Background Music; nor does the host have Horrifying Issues With Women or any other non-white-guy group of people; nor will the host beg for your money all year to launch a Super Serious 27-part series about mail fraud and police ineptitude in Akron Ohio, featuring delightfully colorful interviews with Local Characters that take up a larger and larger part of the story as it becomes clear that the original story had about 1/80th of the legs that the host thought it did so here's some sub-Unabomber monologuing about Have We Lost Our Way In Modern Society, brought to you by Casper Mattresses; nor does All Units constantly feature advertisements for the same three products you've already sworn to boycott after years of constant, non-immunity-building exposure to their ad copy being read back to you by people unconvincingly pretending to be sincere.
Honestly it's just some refreshingly rational discourse from a guy who's cynical, but, crucially, actually likes people, plus he's genuine where others are gratingly ironic, plus he manages to be more on-topic and professional than people with 650 times the budget, plus he actually has something new to say in a world where almost nobody has anything to say to begin with. At that point the actual subject matter of the show almost becomes irrelevant (it's about films & stuff).
