I love this podcast and the whole crew, I’ve been listening since 2020 but I have to admit the show has gotten worse due to the fact that there are too many toxic political discussions almost in every episode now.
I know politics are everywhere now and its hard to avoid discussing it especially in the US but as someone who’s in the middle of the spectrum I wish Slash crew either discussed it from different perspectives, be more objective or just stick to reviewing the movies without bringing up politics at all and maybe create a separate show fully devoted to how everyone on Slash crew hates certain political figures (which I don’t fully disagree with but have a range of different opinions on).
I’m sure many of your listeners read political news every day, they face enough toxicity and hatred in their lives as it is. Listening to their favorite movie podcast just so they can distract from bad news can brighten their day and bring sense of joy many of them are so desperately hoping for. Recently I stopped feeling it when listening to Slash Film, I’m sure many people feel the same and I hope in the future the show will be more pleasant and not filled with angry rants about the state of the country. There are different podcast for that.
I still love the crew and their take on movies and I will keep listening to this podcast even though there are many others I could be listening to instead. I understand it’s your podcast and you decide what to say or not to say, you are free to express your opinion but it would be prudent to keep in mind that many of your listeners who share different views can get turned off and move to another show that’s just about movies. Please think about your fans and the reason why they fell in love with Slash Film in the first place.
With love and respect,
Damon
