What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Do you ever want to learn stuff but wish it could be snuck in with laughter like a dog being fed pills hidden in peanut butter? If you answered “yes”, “maybe,” or “what?”, then this is the podcast for you! Won’t the science get too dry? No, there are comedians there! Won’t the comedians hijack the discussion for their bits? (I ask with love — some of my best friends are comedians.) No, host Ethan Edenburg keeps things mostly on track with an effortless balancing act between the two! This podcast has been one of my little bright spots over the past year and you should check it out if you are like me in that you like to be nerdy but like in a way where other people put in the research effort for you.

First off: that opening with the Ariel (aka Darlene) from your Little Mermaid episode literally almost had me falling out of my chair because I was laughing so hard. I listened to it a dozen times. That being said, I love all the shows. The special guests and the topics, and the way off topic, discussions keeps me laughing/entertained while being educated.

Bqrob74 · Jun 2020

Love the puns, songs, and games with fascinating guests and a delightfully charming host that keeps the show moving at a good pace without being heavy handed about it. It’s ok if you haven’t seen the movie they are reviewing as it is usually just a vague jumping off point for an engaging conversation that we get to eavesdrop on.

SighraAnne · Mar 2020

I adore this podcast and enjoy learning from it. My coworker also enjoys listening to them as well while we are working. If a free-formed unstructured podcast isn’t your thing, then I don’t recommend this since they go off tangent often. But I do love the people you bring in and I love the knowledge I get from it!

Wajaworld · Nov 2019

There used to be a lot more and diverse content in each episode. Now I feel that they spend too much time talking about what the guest has studied and specialized in more than the movies. By the time any part of the movie is discussed, you’re already 2/3 of the way through the episode. Coupled with the lack of diverse topics talked about in each movie, it’s turned more into a guest talk show. I come away knowing a bit about one small part of a movie.

Gdubwub · Nov 2021

Used to love this podcast, but it’s now basically just an advertisement for Discovery+. Also they seem to be reviewing nature documentaries more and more rather than debating the science in fiction movies.
