The Direct Podcast

Just discovered the podcast and it’s a great time. Box Office, Marvel, DC, and more talk about popular franchises/universes? That’s my kind of podcast. Love the energy that David and Matt bring onto the episodes and the passion they have for the stuff they talk about is all over it. Easily one of the best podcasts that I’ve listened to in a while. Also, here’s a question that I’m sure would make for an interesting debate. Do you think either Deadpool

I have been listening to the Direct Podcast since 2020 loyally. Matt and Liam were exactly what this Marvel nerd was looking for and I enjoyed the show thoroughly. The theories and the breakdowns of the Marvel shows, along with the weekly news updates were a staple. Matt is a wonderful host in. Liam played off of David Thompson well. Upon Liam‘s departure, the show has gone severely downhill. I don’t dislike David as a person, but he is the most negative person in the world when it comes to his reviews and it really weighs the show down. I honestly wonder if he has read many comics in his life, as if he did, he would realize that not every comic run is legendary, just like not every movie or TV show is going to be at the level of the Winter Soldier or Infinity War and Endgame. When I tune into the podcast every week, I don’t need to hear all the awful things in his opinion. What I’m looking for is analysis into what happened, what might come next, and the building blocks that can be built upon, as opposed to tearing the project down. I can only hope at some point there is a better cohost found for the show, as at this point, I’ve started listening to other podcasts more frequently than the Direct.

Best nerd pod around

one of the guys says “exploration” when they definitely mean to say “exposition” though
