The Burbs
As the first episode I listened to from Retroblast, it was a bore. The Burbs is a damn funny movie with lots of good stuff to talk about but the skullduggery of the hosts took me on a pseudo-NPR pedantic episode. Rather than tell me what they think about the movie they relied on someone else’s musings on suburbia. Whatever personal anecdotes were provided were slim and I eventually shifted my attention to another podcast. This episode, or more so the hosts, reminded me of college when the professor asked for an opinion and a student quickly speaks up by quoting another author rather than provide their own thoughts. They simply want to tell you what they read and how it relates to the movie in some odd way. And whatever thoughts they shared on post-modernism from an author as it relates to suburbia was just bizarre. The portion I listened to was off-putting and I hope other episodes are better but if this is an indicator of what’s already been done and what the future holds then this podcast is a no-go. In addition, there simply needs to be a better and more energetic flow between the hosts. I’m sure they can do it.

Laid back, personable and knowledgeable hosts, a good variety of different “nerd culture” topics. My favorite podcast to listen to on the drive home from work. It’s chill.
