A friendly discussion of media and things

This podcast is typically formatted as a friendly discussion among three or four people who have experience and opinions appropriate to the content of the day. There are some interview episodes sprinkled in for variety, but the format is otherwise pretty regular. The discussions are always spirited and respectful, even when opinions strongly differ (looking at you, Batman v Superman). Topics often include movies and television shows, but also take in genre discussions and larger concepts and questions. For the record, there has never been a five minute Five Minute Controversy.
