Customer Reviews
More than the DVD commentary
This is the perfect show for anyone who wants to look deeper into TMA. A delightful mix of critical analysis, connections to other works, and running jokes. Each episode is broken into well-organized segments so it's easy to follow. For me, the split discussion by the hosts who are re-listening and those who are hearing TMA for the first time adds a unique perspective and sets this show apart. It's also just downright hilarious sometimes!
