“I adore the concept and many of the episodes. Personally, I think there is slightly more 80s and 90s TV/movie culture than I care about even though I was born into that era.”

“I started listening this summer by way of the Tully show (Great job over there by the way!) I finally got my best friend hooked. He’s listening from oldest to newest. I’m listening from newest to oldest. Will report back with my findings. Oh yeah. Great show !”

Have your friends given you that patient look that says “Why are you making me listen to this?” while you smile and giggle? Then this is the podcast for you! Tony, as he says in the intro, isn’t making fun...”Read full review »

“I love this show, but one thing i always wonder.. why do the episodes need to be around 20 minutes..? I’d honestly listen to an hour+ of this guy run through his research, it’s odd the episodes seem to be restricted in length.”

The show touches on the obvious then quickly goes to a next-level story about the people who made, used or consumed the recordings. BTW: that ends up including you, the listener!
