    MORE STAR TREK
    Was literally listening to a different Star Trek podcast (I recommend fellow bannermen check out Greatest Gen on Max Fun. Very similar vibes with delightful and insightful commentary. When my feed updated and the DS9 episode showed up, initially I suspected a temporal anomaly. But in fact it was real! (Insert Sisko saying ‘it’s all real’ gif) My favorite podcasters are covering my favorite Star Trek! I would love more trek content but also would listen to you guys read Wikipedia so make whatever content brings you joy.

    2nd Update - Landman 1 shot pod you cowards
    Updating apple review since it seems you moved on from twitter. Edit: severance is not the 90s - s1e3 in the perpetuity wing we see the 7th CEO prior to Helena’s father served until 2003.. so alt 90’s car present day ish. Most characters have flip phones but Milchecks phone/walkie is a smart phone. He said there’s nothing to make jokes about in severance - there’s plenty to joke on in Landman 🥳🤣 jk kinda but it woudl be great. Also glad you guys are covering severance - I don’t listen to all of the one shots so it’s nice to have you guys back on my radar every week . Take care o/

    Alexandria is back! 💜
    There is only one thing better than seeing a new BGS episode in my feed and it is to see it is about a Marvel show, and with Alexandria 😍. Just perfection gentleman please cover the whole season!

    I love this podcast
    Red and Ivan are the best. I’ve been listening to them for years. Please never stop making these podcasts!
  • Francillious
    My goodness, but this podcast is fun!
    I love the meticulous breakdowns, the biting humor, and absolute blast the hosts and their guests are having. So glad to have found this podcast only a few months ago! I’M IN.

    Latest episode advocating for assassination
    Very disappointed in Red and Ivan for openly joking about what they wish would happen to Biden. House of Dragon recap of episode 4. I’m done with them.
  • alliem91285
    One of my favorites!
    I’ve been listening for years! Now I watch whatever Ivan and Red watch just for the review! They’re chemistry is second to none. They’re smart, hilarious and so, so fun! Patron forever!

    Local morning DJ team vibe
    If listening to a local morning DJ team that is non-stop trying too hard for a laugh and are their own best audience is your cup of tea, then this is for you. The irony, with the Silo coverage for instance, was stating how glad they were to finally have a show that takes it subject matter seriously without the need for the constant MCU type humor - and then they proceed to relentlessly attempt to be funny. The sad part is that it takes away from what would otherwise be insightful commentary.
  • MelissaWalk2
    It's not just GOT anymore!
    Super Funny recaps of mostly stuff they like and a few things they didn't. Sometimes it's a full season, sometimes it's just one eps, but it's always a romp. It's especailly helpful for shows I'm never going to watch but want to know what happed. Also recommed back eps if you are rewatching GOT. So subscribe and enjoy!

    Years of my life…
    Spent listening to these two and their cast of bandits talk entertainment. I’ve followed them from GoT to Counterpart, through Westworld, made a turn into Lovecraft Country, and then rode into the modern Marvel landscape (with everything in between). They maintain the proper level of enjoyment and cynicism needed to survive contemporary pop media. Love this show.

    The 3rd best podcast...
    Fun discussions about TV, movies, comics, etc. I've really enjoyed discovering new shows via the WYSBW eps. Plus the watch alongs of Y The Last Man and Lovecraft Country really helped me get more out of those shows. Not to mention they have my favorite intro to any podcast... MAPS! Moving buildings! Flying! Blue things! The river crossing! Oh no, over the seaaaaaa.... I sing along each time.
  • D to the L O
    Been listening since the beginning
    Don’t think I can say that about any other podcast… check out Failure to Adapt (also 5 stars)

    So good

    MST3K+
    Ivan and Red are consistently funny and insightful. I really appreciate their dedication to fiction/sci-fi/fantasy genres. This feels like I’m listening to 2 real friends hanging out and discussing nerdy stuff.... A+
  • Jamie DSK
    Fuzzy microphones?
    Do you think a big fuzzy microphone cover might help smooth out the audio for [one of the hosts]? He has a fun nervous energy but is very loud. **FIVE STARS**
  • TwentySomething Hipster
    Ivan needs to calm down by like 20% in watchmen
    Let the ginger talk, dang dude.
  • WriteaScorpio
    A breath of fresh air.
    Professional comedians that manage to pull off believable banter sounding organic & off-the-cuff. The two host play off each other masterfully. It’s amazing and hilarious. Thank you guys!
  • nefilim927
    Keep watching the Watchmen
    Found this one while watching Counterpart, top notch. I’d love if you guys did the entire Watchmen series but honestly even for the shows I don’t watch, this podcast is always on point
  • JessJessAEM
    Long time listener for a reason
    I started listening to this podcast in the second to last season of GOT (yes, late), but enjoyed it so much I went back and listened to many of the older episodes. I’m writing this bc even though GOT has ended, I want Ivan & Red to keep reviewing and podcasting. The Treadstone ep was a new hilarious high. You guys rock.
  • Tot-lee
    Don’t ever stop or change your podcast title!
    I am a podcast junkie, but this is the only one I’ve ever become a patreon member of. A hilarious and wry review of ‘ the golden age of television’ and some Marvel movies. These guys are are smart, funny, and aware of the current cultural and political zeitgest and are not afraid if poking fun at it and themselves.... although, I could’ve done without a million friggin episodes on Counterpart so they lost me for a bit. But generally, you don’t even gave to watch whatever they’ve seen to thoroughly enjoy an episode.
  • Gil Trevizo
    One of the best out there
    I don’t normally write reviews, but this podcast has been giving me so much joy for so long I felt I should. It was great as just a Game of Thrones show but now it’s even better as they cover other shows.
  • Cammie33
    I feel like Gentleman Jack is her super hero name.
    I died laughing. Absolutely died laughing. I have listened to you guys throughout your podcasting about Game of Thrones. I absolutely love this podcast. I sit in my corner of my office with my headphones on, giggling to myself and probably scaring my coworkers. But it's worth it. Ivan and Red are hilarious and they do a wonderful job recapping various bits of pop culture. Well done fellas. Thanks for doing what you do and don't ever stop!
  • AlexaShrugged
    Best GOT podcast
    I’ve listened to about 6 GOT podcasts for this final season and this one is the best, I wish it came out more often. These guys are so funny, I will actually listen to their podcasts on other topics, while I will unsubscribe from all the other former GOT podcasts that are pivoting to new topics. Hope they don’t do any more liberal political podcasts, though.

    Obnoxious
    Obnoxious is an understatement
  • SpaceMojo
    Bad
    Really hard to listen. The one host is too loud and talks over people.
  • targmanQ
    Game of Social Justice
    One host is good and one host is incredibly annoying and thinks he’s funnier than he really is. Then you have to listen to their politics and racist women pretending like they’re woke non racist feminists. Used to listen a couple years ago but I can’t stand it now.
  • Luc Bonucci
    Stunningly Awful
    The one host is beyond obnoxious and not funny. This is a tough listen.
  • Marketer in GR
    good
    I usually hate comical podcasts. Typically I complain about people talking over eachother, laughing over eachother, or just trying too hard. But I think these two don't do that - at least not nearly as much as other comedians. People are complaining in the reviews that their laughter sounds fake. I don't think they sound fake, but even if so, I will take fake over the obnoxious, dragged-out laughs from other podcasters any day. I think people are mistaking their good radio/mic voice control as ingenuine. I find it professional and respectful of listeners time and ears.
  • pasghettiandmeatbulb
    Ivan is super annoying.
    Ivan is the king of forced laughter. Each and every HA is pronounced fully and loudly. HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA he says for the whole Podcast. “Hello Ivan, how are you?” “HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA” he says. “Ivan, do you want to hear a joke?” “No, it doesn’t matter, I’m here to cackle like an idiot HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA”
  • HofiAnnan
    Not your typical GOT recap. Very entertaining!
    I love these guys! They are so funny and not afraid to be a little less than PC. The sense of humor is refreshing and reminds me of my husband and dad. Don’t ever change.
  • Gimlegolas
    RIP Headphone Users
    I was really looking forward to the Thrones content, but this podcast is so shockingly bad I had to turn it off within the first ten minutes. One of the hosts yells over his cohost and incessantly laughs directly into the mic. The volume of the host’s voice and frequency of inane cackling makes this podcast unlistenable.
  • Ugh t
    The laughter completely ruins this podcast
    Obnoxious
  • SmC_Game
    The laughter is horrible
    The laughing is too much and makes listening to this very hard to enjoy.
  • gdvdvva
    My favorite podcast
    I love this show so much.
  • melkyway1234
    Great GoT recap!
    I'm a little behind on GoT, and I've found this podcast really helpful in recapping the show as I catch up. Ivan and Red are hilarious! Love that they haven't read the books, so they're totally unspoiled.
  • Ab61895
    Start binging now
    I’m re-listening to every episode to prep for the final season, it’s a lot of fun to hear what they thought early on that did or didn’t come true. Informative and entertaining as hell.
  • powertievic
    Refreshing
    As a huge fan of the books and TV series I listen to a number of podcasts about GoT/ASOIAF. Most don’t inject humor as effortlessly as these guys which makes this a nice contrast when you don’t want to take the fiction so seriously. Keep up the good work guys
  • Shae43
    Where is your Infinity War review?!!!??
    Ummm I love you guys I really do. I enjoy all of your reviews all the time especially in Game of Thrones season. My only problem here is that I’ve been waiting waiting waiting waiting for three weeks now for your Infinity War review...are you guys planning on talking about it?? You HAVE to talk about it. I’m very interested to hear what Red thought of the movie and you guys are like 3 weeks behind. PLEASEESEEESEE review Infinity War.
  • BMann1280
    NOT, not too bad! Fantastic!!!
    Listening since the beginning & failed to write a review until it was absolutely pointless. You deserve better. You guys are great! Keep it up & thank you!
  • Angel of the Morning, Baby
    Two hilarious dudes
    Been listening to these guys since the beginning. They are just plain good at what they do. They are that special type of nerd that really knows their stuff, can break things down in a very clear way, and are also lovely feminist, minority, LGBTQ allies. Bless these boys. Great job and wish them all the best! ❤️
  • Xineasaurus
    Good for filling up the void of silence!
    I have some serious life stuff going on, related to my husband's health, that I'd rather crowd out of my thoughts. So I started from the beginning. I'm a fan and a patreon supporter, but I hopped on around season 4 or 5, so there's a lot of content I missed. Now I listen to approximately 8-10 hours of Ivan and Red per day. Going on 2 weeks. I burned through the whole first book of book club in days. I think I'm probably about as fully imersed as anyone has ever been in this podcast. And I finally understand why they're the third best recap podcast! And they actually used to be enthusiastic about book club! They were surprisingly good at predictions! They used to make predictions! Who knew. Anyways, their banter is filling up any possible silence in my life and it's been a gift. Vagina.
  • VVarty
    Red and Ivan are fantastic
    Listening to these two friends banter about ASOIAF, entertainment and television (we ARE in a golden age of prime television) makes any day a great day. I'm so glad I followed BoingBoing.net's advice and gave them a try. No ads, just the occasional pitch for their patreon and it must work because I've become a bannerman. Worth every minute.
  • Oceanman1328
    Couldn’t be funnier
    Ivan’s laugh should be harnessed, bottled, and consumed throughout the day. Red’s calm, dry wit sheds sardonic, wine-infused levity to any situation. I listen to them as a life-maintenance technique. Keep it up, fellas, and many thanks.
  • VivianMK
    This Podcast Title is the Best Thing Ever
    I recently started watching Game of Thrones last year, and it was AWESOME to be able to "follow along" with the episodes and binge this podcast after every ep! It's like having good friends to discuss the show with -- Ivan and Red are great hosts and seem like super cool people. I love that they have branched out and are now convering other great shows, like Alias Grace!
  • Nyarlathotep2347
    National Treasure?
    These guys are a double edged sword of wackiness and sarcasm. Hilarious usually, sometimes uncomfortable, always worth listening. ALWAYS!!!
  • Hiwwwww
    Da bomb!
    You boys are the tops. No better podcasters anywhere on earth ( not the universe though). Love you boys, don’t ever stop. THE BEST PODCAST EVER!!!!!!!!
