“Good podcast, if the feminism and liberal aspects were left out it would be 100% better. A lot of us listen to podcasts like this to get away from that garbage.”

“Antony is a great host and so are his guests. Most of the shows/movies/games/books they’ve picked made me want to revisit them.”

“I've found my favorite new podcast. A fresh look at movies, TV and music that was never liked by the majority. A smart and entertaining discussion on the merits panned and maligned pop culture content.”

“I can't even begin to list the number of amazing things I've discovered thanks to Antony and his guests. Whether because of poor word of mouth or just having missed them entirely, tons of music and movies have been filling my queue for months thanks to this show. Hell, even the cricket episode...”Read full review »

“Johnson does a great job of structuring a conversation with a guest who is passionate about something that makes most of us feel ambivalent. It could be a semi-forgotten bit of ’80’s urban fantasy (“Big Trouble in Little China”) or a much broader concept (the sport of cricket), but the show...”Read full review »

“It's made me dig out a few bits and peices I'd written off.
Nothing however will get me to watch Voyager again though. :D”

“Enjoy listening to this but sometimes the lack of research evident in both host and guest can be infuriating- real "shout at the radio" stuff, but I would rather it provoked than had no real impact. Worth a listen.”

“Great host & engaging guests wrap engrossing conversation around the ‘best worst’ of pop culture. The defence of Attack of the Clones is probably the highlight so far, with a truly committed supporter of the maligned film.
Be prepared to revisit some best forgotten music, movies and TV shows…”

I love listening to people talk and justify their love for things that most of us turn our nose up at and Antony makes a great host, he eases the conversation forward and keeps things flowing very well. My only wish though is...”Read full review »

“Antony Johnston and his guests are extremely engaging, giving great defenses of movies, books and people that most of the world hates. Listen to an episode about something you’ve read or watched and then you’ll want to listen to everything else.”

“This podcast isn't unjustly maligned, it's grossly underrated! In a comfortably casual, conversational kind of style, Antony helps his guests inform the audience both what the subject at hand is and why it is (or actually isn't) unjustly maligned. Antony is very good at keeping the dialogue...”Read full review »

“Lots of fun - basically people defending various oddball things they like ... Some which I loved (Gremlins 2, Hudson Hawk) and others which I... ahem... didn't (Star Wars prequels). Listening to enthusiasm is always fun.”

“Enjoyed the first episode about SG1, format sounds like a good idea. I imagine the choices of topic will divide geekdom.
Tron (Wheaton) episode 4 was another great one. Pretty much like sitting around listening to geeks talk about things they love.”

“So I like learning about stuff I don't really know much about. You probably do too. This podcast is all about learning about things you probably don't really know much about. But further than just that, exploring *why* these things merit be better known about. So that's win-win in my book, and...”Read full review »

“I'm not usually a fan of "culture" podcasts, they tend to run more like recommendations than actual discussion.

“This is a neat concept. Whether you are a fan of the particular show/film/etc being discussed or haven't even heard of it I think it's always cool to hear someone talk passionately about something they like - but especially so if it's something you love it too.”
