A Contrarians Dream Podcast

As someone who always find the urge to take the contrarian side no matter the debate, it’s great to have a podcast that tackles pop culture in a similar manner. They’re off to a great start and I can’t wait for future episodes!

Entertainment and Analysis all-in-one?!?!

Mike Pearl and Justin Caffier offer a forum for their guest to present a deep dig on some of the seemingly passable films/media which the guests argue you should enjoy. The hosts keep it lively and informative while the guest is prompted to explain their contrarian views. This would be a great podcast to sponsor if you were say film underwear affiliated. I’m looking at you Mack Weldon.
