The Prestige TV Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Very insightful and eye-opening without unnecessary detail. Funny but not snarky or mean. They take the shows seriously but don’t take themselves too seriously. Listening to Bald Move pods doubles my enjoyment of the shows themselves. Thanks for all you do guys!

I want to love this podcast. I really do. The show is incredible and I am eager to bask in the takes and analysis of it. But my god the constant references to the book are exhausting. That the book comments are so often hedged with apologies for yet another book reference is somehow even more frustrating. Take your own advice! I don’t deny references to source material can at times be useful, but when just about every topic discussed is insisted on being anchored to the book, it’s too much. I confess this probably makes the podcast “not for me” as opposed to bad, which is why I’m still giving four stars, it’s just a bummer!

Andy is the right guy to take a second look at our favorite shows. Time alters the way we see and react to entertainment and Andy is always thoughtful and interesting. I love this Podcast. Thanks Andy.

I first encountered Andy Greenwald by way of his work as a novelist. Not long after moving to NYC I came across his novel “Miss Misery,” which I was drawn to for its Elliott Smith referential title. It’s a good book. Years later I was pleasantly surprised to see his name again, this time as a pop culture critic and enthusiast on his previous podcast. I had gone looking for more on my favorite show of all time, The Leftovers, and have greedily devoured all Greenwald/Leftovers material. Thoroughly enjoying the Did it Stick the Landing subseries. One small correction: the quote at the end of the Twin Peaks finale episode about following your obsessions is a great, but is misattributed to Kafka. It’s actually by Anne Rice, from a foreword written by her for a Kafka collection.
