These two are the most delightful duo! I adore the background comic info from the hilarious Joshua, and the movie background from the epically-wonderful Lani. Please continue to do this podcast forever!

This Podcast is great for MCU Fans, it dives deep into the comic law as well as the movie or show you just watched. All I wish is that they could come back and continue.

I love this podcast, it’s like my comfort background noise. I’m actually relistening to it now as I go through through the movies again and I miss listening to you guys!

If they could leave out the wokeness and virtue singling. The hate for white males is strong in these two. If they take that out or you are into that. The rest could be good.

The hosts act as though they are better then the material they cover. No story beat can be accepted, no virtue unsignaled, no nit-unpicked. Why make a podcast devoted to tearing down the thing you claim to love? This isn't academic, this is pendantic.Read full review »

...and Josh can hold his own, so this podcast is a winner! Highly recommended for anyone who takes stories seriously.

I’ve just binged most of this podcast after watching all the MCU movies in lockdown and I can’t recommend it enough! Lani and Joshua have great chemistry and their individual expertise make every episode fascinating as well as funny.
PetePeterIsaac via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/01/20
In theory this podcast should be, and often is, amazing: two smart people, one with story and one with comics, dissecting the MCU. I listened to all of the movie episodes, including the hot takes, in order of release. In the beginning it was a blast. But as it went on, I think the hosts lost...Read full review »

Many times they outright say they don’t like them, or they’re not good. However, even if they say they like it, they will then give you 30 reasons why it’s bad

I love Listen Up A-Holes, and Chipperish media and Pulp Diction. All your work is fun, informative, and provides insight into why story works or doesn’t. Keep it up!
Todd schishler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/19
I love Joshua’s deep comics knowledge (get this man more shows!) and Lani’s perspective on story and society (F the patriarchy!). Most importantly for a good podcast, is the enthusiasm these two have for the project of breaking down the MCU. They get me excited to watch the movies and TV shows...Read full review »

I love Joshua’s four colour facts and how he makes Lani laugh every time. Awesome podcast.
The Costume Nerd via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/22/19
I’m up to date with this podcast and it’s so good I’m listening again alongside re-watching the movies. Lani and Josh are an easy listen, both bring different knowledge to the podcast which brings the MCU alive. Highly recommended.
littlesplinters67 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/01/19
I’ve listened to similar podcasts, and this really is the best! Joshua’s comics knowledge is encyclopedic, and Lani (to whom I’ve listened for years) is an extraordinary story analyst. They are fantastically complementary together too. If the very first episode doesn’t knock your socks off...Read full review »
Gaal Dornick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/19
Two episodes in and I’m hooked. Love the chemistry between Lani and Joshua. Thanks so much for doing this amazing MCU podcast!
The GoldenBee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/19
I haven’t seen too many Agents of Shield episodes, but I listen to the movie episodes of this podcast and love them! Lani and Joshua are awesome at recapping the movies without going scene by scene, as this would take forever. I love that Lani picks up on symbolism I would never have thought of,...Read full review »
Ev1014 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/19
I love listening to Lani and Joshua because they come at the stories from such different perspectives, but both with so much love! It's also fun to hear about the vast comic history with which I have no experience. This forced me to watch Daredevil simply so I could have more Lisen Up A-Holes...Read full review »
Rosie Oceanna via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/19
This is a great MCU podcast, full of love for superheroes and the fun of storytelling.
Bad Poet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/18
Love the discussions, but invariably I feel my eyes roll back into my skull when every minor aspect of the movie is completely missed and painted as another example of "muh Patriarchy".Read full review »
ghostofsmitty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/18
Four color facts is my new favorite thing in the world. Smart, critical, and hilarious. Simply wonderful
steph cohen via Apple Podcasts · Israel · 08/31/18
So bummed I didn’t find this until now! When Lani said she was stepping back from Podcasts a while ago, I just sort of moved on and moved on with what appeared to me be the successor to her previous podcast network, and literally just found this now after THAT was shut down! What a tremendous...Read full review »

Listen Up A-Holes is a brilliant MCU based podcast. I enjoy when the hosts go into details on the movies, comic books etc. :)
Thomas96Meehan via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/26/18
Lani is alway engaging in everything. Coming over from the buffy stuff I’ve never appreciated the marvel movies as much as I do now.
Bolovesbuffy via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/11/18
If you are looking for a smart and entertaining podcast that is covering the entire MCU, then this is the podcast to check out. Joshua Unruh always brings great comic background to every episode. He's funny and manages to condense all the background info that you need to know into a...Read full review »
Jennerosity via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/10/18
Lani and Joshua have great chemistry and a bottomless well of knowledge about story telling in comics and media, making this the perfect podcast for fans of the MCU whether or not they've read the comics, watched the television series, or none of the above. Even when they are critical of...Read full review »
wutdafxgoinon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/18
I really like how this podcasts does its reviews. Joshua talks about the comic book aspects of the MCU while Lani discusses the production and the, for lack of a better word, literary aspects. The two hosts work very well together and seem to have a good time even when they don't necessarily...Read full review »
John50ok via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/18
These two are so funny, smart and intelligent. Teaches you all you want to know about about comics and storytelling while still being so funny!
Höll blbgmk via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/15/18
Lani and Joshua are brilliant apart and delightful together. Superheroes aren’t necessarily my favorite thing but I can listen to these two talk about the MCU for hours.
anna_mcg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/18
Brilliant to hear Lani's take on the MCU as a longterm fan of her work, and I'm glad to be introduced to the work of Joshua as well. For what it's worth, I'd love for this podcast to delve into Agents of Shield at some point! Recommended to fans of nerd culture treated...Read full review »

This podcast is essential listening for any discerning Marvel Cinematic Universe fan.
kubricksiMr via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/13/18
I’m not a huge fan of the MCU- I mean I’m a casual viewer rather than a ‘fan’ as such. I am a big fan however of Lani and all the amazing knowledge about story she possesses. I’ve also become a big fan of Joshua- his enthusiasm is infectious and I can see myself becoming a WAY bigger Marvel fan...Read full review »
NicB_1979 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/08/18
This is the MCU podcast you've been waiting for. How do I know? It's the one I was waiting for. Lani and Joshua pick apart the MCU movies with a keen eye towards storytelling, spectacular insights, and humor. Replace Hawkeye with a lamp, indeed. :)Read full review »
trekgirl88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/18
These two experts make a great pair.
sad aaron via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/18
MCU movies are totally my bag of nerdery, and Joshua's rich comic history combines with Lani's story expertise to bring another layer of enjoyment to these stories! This pair knows their stuff and they have fun delving into each episode. I can't wait to hear their Phase 2 discussions!Read full review »
GypsyBookNerd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/18
At long last, Lani makes her triumphant return to the MCU! I champion all of Lani's endeavors with Chipperish, and while I appreciate the merits of Buffy, Outlander, and West Wing respectively, in all honesty those shows just aren't my bag. Now that Lani is once again tackling my...Read full review »

I’m currently in a point of exhaustion with the MCU. It’s 2018, and we’re only just about to get a black superhero solo film and are still waiting for a female-led film. Hence my exhaustion with straight white men fighting and destroying things. But if anyone can reach through my foggy response...Read full review »
calebcgibbs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/18
Lani and Joshua both bring their own unique expertise to this entertaining and educational podcast.
Chipperish wink via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/18
It’s great when two experts come together to creat something. Josh is a Comic Book expert, who has been following the hobby his whole life. He is a thoughtful fan with excellent taste. Lani is a story expert, with an endless curiosity for every form of narrative. This show is an epic team up....Read full review »

Lani Diane Rich returns with an MCU podcast! I’m so excited to hear Lani and Josh discuss some of my favorite stories. I’m unfamiliar with Josh’s work, but so far I’m a fan of his vocal chemistry with Lani.
Nicole Rxs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/18
Just listened to the "origin story" episode, and I can't wait for this podcast to start up in earnest. Lani and Joshua play off each other beautifully and bring two different sets of expertise - deep knowledge of the comic universe(s) and deep knowledge of story structure. I'm in...Read full review »
sarahelawton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/18
I have always been a fan of Lani's smart and funny work so I was excited to see another one from her. Lani brings her expertise of and love for story and Jason fills in his very contagious enthusiasm for Marvel.Read full review »

Really informative podcast for anyone who enjoys the MCU and looking to learn more. Really looking forward to the next episode, I recommend this to any comic or movie fan.
