NerdyLaser ,

Phantom Rules!

Phantom Troublemaker is one of my favorite hosts! Such fun subjects and terrific guests!

theAmazingGimp ,

Fun for sure

Cannot sing high enough praises. Phantom and his Irregulars always bring the laughs. From toy talks, movie commentary, and all other forms of pop culture nerdery.

Sean R Reid ,

For those who remember what it was like to be a kid...

More than just another toy/wrestling/pop-culture review show, Needless Things is a wonderful look into what it means to truly LOVE your hobbies and interests. Whether it’s a one-mic show or a room full of self-professed nerds, Phantom keeps the conversation going and the audience engaged.

Usually shows with such diverse topics run the risk of meandering, but Needless Things manages to fit it all under the umbrella of “cool stuff that has stood the test of time.” In that way it makes perfect sense that we’re all addicted to Needless Things.
