“Solo escucho la primera parte para ver si van a hablar de política. Pagaría caro por une podcast de izquierda que hable únicamente sobre política canadiense. La estadounidense está cubierta por los del Chapo”

“What do you want, Trump? He is the most disgusting human being on this planet, so I’m not sure what you want at this point with this podcast. Love the show, but have to disagree this time about what you’re saying in this podcast. It’s easy to be negative with no solutions.”

“The best film podcast, despite (because?) they actually talk a lot more about Jerry Lewis than Michael Moore. And recently, Aaron Sorkin. Canada’s best boys. Be sure to check out the legendary Star Wars IX review.”

“For one to understand the neo-liberal mind, one must understand that it is defined both by their ideology, and the total vacuum of ideology created by its ubiquity.
Michael and Us illuminates both these. A podcast exposing the terrifying grimaces of the ghouls of capital and their foot soldiers...”Read full review »

“Lost count of how many times I’ve said “thank you!” out loud after Micheal & Us articulates some ambient political feeling I haven’t been quite able to put into words.”

“The best. Join the boys each week for some fun, banter, politics, film criticism and the end of history (drink). Listening gives you immediate membership to Michael and Us Nation; a nation to which you will gladly pledge your allegiance.”

“Being raised in Mooremonism, that is, The Church of Michael Moore of the Slacker-Day Uprising doesn’t always feel like it reaps the most rewards in the modern day. I was starting to feel like the spirit of prophetic progressive wisdom that brought us core texts like “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Roger...”Read full review »

“Come for the politics and stay for the movies. Great balance between media, art, and politics. Luke Savage has many great pieces of writing to find outside of this work and Michael and Us is one of Will Sloan’s two best movie podcasts. Both gentlemen make loads of work worth deep dives.”

“My girlfriend showed me a video on TikTok of a guy doing parkour in his yard.
Immediately I cried out, “this is from Alexandra Pelosi’s 2023 documentary ‘The Insurrectionist Next Door’!”
That’s the power of Michael & Us Nation.”

“Love listening to your podcast! Love the political banter mix, Luke is great with that end, and appreciate lightening it up with Will. Enjoy the US slant obviously, but it’s nice to learn about Canada as well. TN is lit right now, biggest movement since Civil Rights Era (history started here)....”Read full review »

“Yeah, I’m still always gobbling these up. Makes any day a better day when there’s a new release. Glad to eat my broccoli with the political stances. Nice to have a touchpoint outside traditional media that isn’t bonkers.
Especially keen on the David Lynch episodes and discussions of Guy Maddin....”Read full review »

“I’m a long time listener to the show but lately the episodes have been leaving me with a funny taste in my mouth, as Luke and Will have reached peak cynicism and snarkiness. It’s gotten hard to listen to a whole episode all the way through.”

“This podcast is a riot, excellent mix of stupid laffs + occasional conversations of real insight into how politics gets refracted through popular culture. The interplay between Will & Luke is genuinely sweet as they make each other laugh. A LOT.”

“Will and Luke are my go-to political podcasters of the last year. Not in only do they re-inforce my own moral values, they also open me up to perspectives I never knew or considered, and that’s something special. Also, even reviewing movies and TV shows always get political, as well as just...”Read full review »

“It’s deeply moving to know that folks like Will and Luke can carry on the tradition laid out by the late Mark Fisher. These two hosts manage to bring an aggressively critical eye (with outstanding comedic wit) to our contemporary culture. My partner and I’s faces light up every time we see a new...”Read full review »

“Extremely well produced, and the two of them are both really knowledgeable and witty in idiosyncratic ways. Instead of Will Menaker’s “rAHthur”, you get a good old Hamilton “sawree”. Love listening to each episode and get excited whenever it pops up on my feed.”
