The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Customer Reviews
Season 5 was Awesome!
Unlike most review shows, this is funny at times, but is also an honest review of the films. Also, the crux of the film is that people have to defend movies they have not seen in years; great flashbacks to my youth. A lot of fun!
Great Show!
The Myopia: Defend Your Childhood show is one of the rare gems you're always looking for but can never seem to find. With expert audio quality, a fantastic premise, and great titles, this wholly original Podcast will leave you longing for more. Stop reading my review and hit play already!
Solid Show
Listening through, there are still some audio issues, but they have tightened up the show in the last couple seasons. Good mix of different genres, overall solid show.
