The first handful of years with the podcast are incredibly difficult and frustrating to listen to; as most podcasts are want to. However, with Masters Cast, one thing in particular stuck out with me that made it even more difficult other than the usual podcaststers trying to find their footing: Katy, and occasionally all hosts in question never seemed to watch the entire series they discuss. If you took a drink every time Katy says, "I didn't get that far," you'd die from alcohol poisoning. Why have he come into the discussion if she didn't finish the series? When it came to the Mike Young series, it seemed as if both Shadow and Katy didn't watch the series in its entirety before recording (actually Katy definitely did not). This is a huge no-no and even novice podcasters don't usually make this incredible error.
New Adventures of He-Man, again, gets a lot of unnecessary hate in their "review" episode. If you really want to hear hypocrisy and to hear nits getting picked, this is the episode. It's almost impossible to listen to.
Josh, as much as I enjoy some of his input and other points, is the biggest grump and picker of nits on the show. Holy smokes, does he complain a lot! He claims he isn't a purist, but the way he talks and complains about some of the smaller points of *insert topic here* makes it sound like he is because everything points back to the 80s show as the GOAT.
Thankfully, some of these nuisances have been cleaned up a bit with time. Katy is actually watching the shows/movies in question when necessary and other novice mistakes are being cleaned up. Josh, sadly, still is a grump, but he's not intolerable. Only real complaint at this point is something more consistent and regular with show releases. For a podcast that is nearly 20 years old, having 80-ish episodes is WAY too little. It amazes me that they are still able to maintain some sort of following with the podcast, because most end up dying within a year after not producing a fair number of episodes.
