Make THIS stop!
Honestly, maybe this podcast isn’t that bad, but I am only judging based off of one episode. The only reason I found this podcast and listened to this episode is because it was about my favorite band, Five Iron Frenzy. First of all, the album they chose to talk about was Cheeses of Nazareth, which isn’t an actual album it’s a compilation EP of b-sides, rarities, and in-jokes for the hardcore FIF fans (this fact is acknowledged by the hosts, to be fair). But that’s not what got to me about their “review” of the album. What really bothered me is the fact that they didn’t give an actual reason why the band was bad other than saying they were bad because they are a ska band and ska is ‘objectively bad’ (despite then turning around and defending ska and sayin it’s not bad at all). They then said that what makes FIF even worse is that they are a Christian ska band, as if writing music about their religion is somehow bad. So in other words, according to the hosts of this podcast, Five Iron Frenzy is bad simply because it is bad. The hosts do not understand how to give criticism or support their opinions with facts and therefore they should not be attempting to review music. And no, saying that a Christian band is bad simply because you are an atheist (an actual talking point brought up in this aforementioned episode) does NOT count as criticism.

I've always been curiously fascinated with "bad" pop culture; be it a cringeworthy song or an abysmal film, and am *so* glad that I stumbled across this podcast. The hosts are ridiculously amusing and truly hilarious - and their dynamic is really the soul of this show, which is ripe...Read full review »

So, this is basically Jukebox Zeroes, except way more politically charged (even some guests seem to notice-Scott in the TMNT ep) and the pitfalls such people fall into. If you can get past that, tho-and not everyone can- it’s perfectly decent, and it is a slightly different POV than JZ. Also,...Read full review »

The first 20 minutes is practically worthless and is just filled with people talking over each other and laughing. It feels like you are listening to a bunch of popular kids from afar as they just make fun of everything and everyone. I was hoping for an actual critique or some structure. I had...Read full review »
