Essential Listening

Hands down this podcast should be essential listening for all physical media collectors. Equal parts entertaining and informative. Following along week to week will keep you up to speed on all the new announcements and help with planning what discs you may want to pick up. Ryan is an excellent host with great delivery and generally manages to bring the best out of his guests each episode.

Liberals discussing politics instead of movies

Too much political garbage. Stick to physical media and could be useful.

Seemed like the perfect podcast!

At a glance this seemed like a podcast made for me. I’m an avid collector of boutique Blu rays and such. I’d love to hear about upcoming releases, but wow. I do t have this amount of time to devote to a single podcast. Plus, I dropped out after several minutes of introductions of the people joining online. I just want to hear the news and reviews. I’m sorry, but I don’t care who else is listening that I don’t know. And there’s no time codes listed so I can skip the self congratulatory segment. Maybe a digest version of the show? Just the news and reviews and such?
