Great, great, great

I have loved This pod since it’s start on ESPN. I couldn’t stand Mike Golic’s “Everyman” reviews on M&M but you could tell Adnan knew his stuff. After years or listening, I have been proven correct.

Adnan expresses his passion via fast talking and contagious laughter.

Also, he loves Wisconsin and hates the Cowboys.

The Sewer

Adnan is a miserable human. He is convinced he has "great taste." All he really has is the exact same opinion of every single unbearable film student you'll ever meet.

Great!

I love this podcast. Very fun and Adnan asks great questions that engage the guests.
