Dudes Rock: The Podcast
This is as casual of a podcast as you can get. Just a group of friends speaking intelligently about movies they watch, but in a way that is accessible and easy listening. Highly recommended!

Ah, I see you are a podcast of culture as well
One of my favorite pods. Thoughtful, funny, endearing subject matter… I love hanging out with these folks no matter what they’re talking about. <3

White & Nerdy
A bunch of white nerds tripping over each other to give their uninformed opinions on film & tv in order to feed their own Asian fetish. It also takes them 40 min to get to the main review. Thank u next.

Great for so many reasons!
I know Fairy Tail is a stretch but four seasons in I’m obsessed and had hoped these guys had touched on it!

Always looking forward to a new episode! I know you don’t review series often, but I think SSSS Gridman is right up your alley. So, here’s 5 stars... now get to it! :P

Very fun group!
These are very fun podcasts to listen to! I’ve been listening to them at work and they’ve made the day a lot better
I did accidentally answer the phone at work by saying “this is Kamen rider” while listening to this podcast
So 10/10

Honestly....
Out of all of the movie review podcasts out there, this is pretty much the one worth listening to. Great analysis on the movies the hosts watch while also still just chatting and having goofy conversations like friends do. Thats why I listen anyway!

Just a Fun Podcast
This podcast is less about the topic it is covering that episode and more about the banter and enjoyment of hearing a group of friends riff on something. It's really as simple as that. A lot of pop culture is absurd when you think about it and these guys are vamping a lot of that up with their witty takes on such matters. If you like the subject genre, if you like this type of podcast style, then give it a listen!
Update: it’s still amazing

A Really Good Time
These guys really enjoy talking about the topic and you feel like you’re sitting with a group of friends. It’s very light hearted and just a fun podcast to listen to. If you’re looking for a place to start, I’d recommend the Face/Off episode!

Hilarious, insightful, wonderful
BLT is a wonderful podcast where three friends (and a dog) talk about the things they love for 2 hours and I never tire of it. The chemistry between the hosts in infectious, and it makes you feel like you're right there on the couch with them. Even if they make a mistake or aren't 100% accurate on something, the atmosphere they provide feels like you're just hanging out with friends, not being lectured or being read a thesis paper, both of which have their own merit. But if you're looking for something to just unwind to that is gonna put a smile on your face and make you laugh, this is the podcast to listen to!

Best Podcast I’ve found in a long time
Feels like hanging out with old friends (that I never had because none of my actual friends are into the same entertainment as me). Constantly hilarious and also very insightful. I hope you guys never stop making episodes because it’s been a constant source of joy since I discovered it.
PS: Grant’s laugh is adorable.

Banter is great, pedantry slightly less so.
I've been trying to check out this podcast and after a sample size of about 10 or so episodes strewn throughout run covering the gamut of genres this pod is focused on, all of which I have some degree of interest in, I find that I have a distinct preference when it comes to who is hosting and who is providing critique of the feature title. When all three are just cracking jokes and having fun, I find the podcast quite amusing for the most part but when it actually comes down to presenting what the featured piece of media is and providing a nuanced informed take on it, I feel Grant far and away has a better grasp of how to approach the material within its genre constraints and not condescend to the podcast audience with his opinions. TheHeat and Zen oftentimes have a great to superior working knowledge of film and/or the specific production background behind the media but they both tend to get worked up in the fine details or aesthetics of whatever they're watching and occasionally fail to see what is actually interesting about the genre they're working with. Their criticisms sometimes feel as they're not approaching the media on its own terms and as a result, they're less useful to somebody who is listening to see if a given genre is for them at all or if they're wondering whether a given title is a good representative of the genre, even if it's not an objectively good piece of work in a wider context. Taste is subjective oftentimes, but losing the forest for the trees makes enjoying anything more difficult.
Now to be fair, I believe that all three hosts have gotten better over time but I think these episodes run pretty long and if the review section ends up being mostly about minor quibbles and issues with specific scenes or minor characters, I find that it can get slightly tedious to listen through. Not that every episode has to be a glowing review of a great film but even when it's a bad to mediocre film, condensing the criticism down to the core issues that makes the film not work rather than meticulously dissecting every shot makes for better concise listening.
Keep at it though, the pod is still interesting.

An almost perfect podcast
I love the eclectic genres the hosts cover, they are around my age from what I gather and never take themselves seriously and have a great rapport. Unfortunately, they complain about fictional media being "problematic" and how in the current year and events it can be seen as troublesome. Sure, they have a right to think that... but we're talking about an anime that was produced in the 80's and horrible real life incidents aren't the same as an animated drawing or critiquing another culture or creator for what they deem as comedic. Other than that, great stuff.

Made me care about kaiju
I came for the anime, but I stuck around for the banter. These guys have incredible chemistry that can't be replicated. Hell, they actually got me to care about kaiju!

Anime, Martial Arts, Toku and everything Eastern media
If you're interested in anything I put in the title, please check out this podcast. I've only started listening recently, but every episode is a joy to listen to, and introduces me to a bunch of cool stuff I never would have found without it! The enthusiasm of the hosts really shows and makes it something special! 5/5, 10/10, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up.

Unique, funny, and educational
Covers different subject material than most anime podcasts. Hosts are very well-spoken, enthusiastic, and funny. I haven't watched most of the movies and such that they discuss, but I still have blast listening to them. And I learn a lot too, which is great! Good audio quality. Highly recommended!

Like listening to your geeky friends chat.
Quite entertaining. Each of the hosts has their own area of expertise and it's fun hearing them hash it out.

Funny with good back and forth commentary.
These guys are pretty funny and on target with most of the reviews. Each member brings a different personality and view to the material covered which really creates a great back and forth atmosphere. Great commentary and wit make it worth a listen.
