Great Podcast

I was looking for something that discussed some items a little more in depth. I found behind-the-scenes insight, as well as different thoughts and ideas about the shows I was watching. The dynamic between the hosts is bar none. I enjoy the banter, the discussion, and the appreciation of pheedback from the phans. A most excellent podcast. Party on.

MCU might be struggling but MaP (Matt and Pete) are still Phantastic

Started listening to Matt and Pete as a pandemic project to learn more about the MCU. My entry points were Daredevil and Agents of Shield. I found catalogued Phantastic Geek podcasts to help me digest what I was watching and connect the dots on macro and micro levels. Now that Marvel content has hit some tough times, I suffer through shows like Secret Invasion JUST for the reward of a Phantastic Geek podcast! I’m often not as enthusiastic as they are about the viewing experience, but no problem - I still enjoy listening to the Phellas. Thanks for your insights, knowledge, and opinions Matt and Pete!

🫶🏻 you guys

Always listening to this podcast in reference to the series I’m watching, the podcast length of time is just right (Goldilocks style) not to long not to short but just right!
