Customer Reviews
Knowledgeable
I listen to a lot of after show type podcasts. Mostly from the bigger media companies but they’ve all started to sound the same. Lot’s of praise. Not a lot of critical thinking. This show is different. You can tell these are real fans that are just really really knowledgeable and excited about the thing they love. I also dig that it’s not the same people for every show they recap. This channel brings in new people for every show which is really cool. If you’re looking for something new and insightful on your favorite TV shows then look no further.
Less hijinks- how old are these guys?
The lead is fine, the teenager who laughs his head off over the dumbest comments is so annoying.
Otherwise they follow the story but sometimes obsess over and not pick, like how the guy is hiding the dog.
The Lore and the Breakdown
Decoding Dragons does a fantastic job in breaking down the show and explaining the lore behind it. The hosts are very knowledgeable and relatable! I really enjoy watching their podcast and would recommend it to anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of the episodes.
