Marc is GOAT

Steven L Washington

Can’t say enough about Marc Bernardin. Love his reviews and views. The man knows a bleep ton about writing and he brings such a great well-rounded background to this pod. And he has the patience of a saint to work with Kevin Smith (love Kev but wow he strays off into tangents). Only quibble is too much time spent on too many ads.
Can’t Believe It

We just had three great to excellent superhero shows going on at the same time (Invincible, DD, Boys) and they were hardly covered. I don’t think they ever talked about Invincible. Absolutely wild.

Sad… a once great podcast

Jan 11

MikeyGee?

This podcast has become almost unlistenable. It’s sad when your wish, when a new podcast episode drops, is that the host not be there. Kevin used to be entertaining and engaging, now he is an absolute drag on the podcast. I don’t mind a podcast that is 2.5 hours long, if there is actual interesting content. Marc provides that, but Kevin’s interruptions and meandering pointless pondering make that content next to impossible to get or enjoy. Sponsor shout outs (commercials) should not be seven minutes long, because Kevin thinks of another stupid joke about male anatomy. Please for the love of God, have a gameplan for the episodes, agenda and time frame and stick to it. And Kevin, stop talking about your past films and self so much!
