Surely the first most popular twilight zone podcast

Great fun, paying respects to the show and it’s heritage while having a bit of a laugh.
Also reviewing the episodes out of order works well.
The two hosts have a great rapport and are genuinely funny and smart guys.

Great!

Funny, genuine opinions about a show that whilst well loved can be a bit lame. John and Fred celebrate this and it's great to hear.
Although I don’t have a clue what mystery science theatre is about

Fascinating and Witty Podcast

Having listened to many episodes, the chemistry between the two hosts is excellent.

Great that they have reviewed from start to finish the original TZ anthology. Mixing banter with sly humour, and a good dollop of interesting episode info.

It's just a shame that it's all come to an end after over 150 episodes!

Well done John and Fred.
