And with the help of our guest, Eric Baudour, we...might have ruined not only one of Steven Spielberg's most iconic films but also your childhood memories entirely.

Great concept, relatable hosts

After listening to the latest episode, I’m going to go back and listen to the others! I love the concept for this show, and I can’t wait to hear what other characters these hosts have decided to “improve.” Also, the rapport between the hosts is great and easy to listen to!

Keep up the great work!

The Monster Cereals episode.

I was glad to see you guys quit the podcast business. I think you were trying to entertain yourselves. Horrible!

Super fun!

As a fan of myth and pop culture alike, I really love this podcast. It’s fun and funny, and a lot of the takes on how to “improve” characters are really ingenious. I cant recommend enough!
