This podcast...this podcast right here...one of my aboslute favorites for a few reasons.
1. The focus. EBD takes a look at sci-fi, fantasy, and pop culture movies/tv, as well as some forgotten gems you would have watched on cinemax as a kid growing up. Aside from the nostalgic feel, these guys talk about the movies like 3 friends would, pouring over little tidbits and nuggets while criticizing it intelligently and humorously. They go into a myriad of genres, providing variety.
2. The honesty. They are not trying to reinforce YOUR opinion. Listen, I was not in wholehearted agreement with them over Robot Jox, but I still enjoyed the episode. Why? Because it was fun to hear someone else talk about that movie besides my one friend that remembers it. And even when they don't like something, not only arethey thoughtful, they are HILARIOUS!
3. The Chemistry of the hosts. You can tell these guys have been friends for a long time. Yes, there are inside jokes, but if you listen enough, you, the audience, are in on them (i.e. prototropes, ejection death, Lambert/BooBerry/Seagal and doughnuts...). And having listened to this podcast rather early on, you can see them sharpening their craft and format rather quickly and continuously.
You're into pop movies, cult, sci-fi and such and you have a sense of humor? Give'em a go.
