    Australian?
    Fantastic, entertaining shows from two men doing the worst Australian accent I’ve ever heard. Clearly these guys are from South Africa.

    Too many day ones?
    Suspicious amount of these reviewers/letter-writers claim to have been listening from the very start… can they be believed?? I’m not ashamed to say I started at episode 163, which is not particularly impressive or noteworthy. (The episode was called ‘163 Best Disney Movies That Mason Hates,’ so I thought it was going to be about Maso hating 163 Disney movies. Which was not the case at the time, but we may reach that number any day now.) Keep up the good work fellas

    Saying hi to myself in the future.
    Been a fan for many years and finally decided to start listening to this podcast from the beginning. It’s been a trip listening to you both from the start and discovering the origins of many iconic segments like the creation of the “what we reading, what we are gonna read”, the opening theme, etc. and it’s a cool time capsule to experience. I’ve found myself saying things like “wait, Deadpool hadn’t come out yet?” “Oh wait, they don’t know how epically great Guardians of the Galaxy is gonna be cause they haven’t seen it yet?!” I was expecting to start this podcast with u both being vastly different than I know of u in 2025 but yet u both r just the same. Not sure if that’s a compliment or not but I think it is cause you both r so amazing to listen too, both in the past and the present. I think I will be listening to the past ones for a bit longer before I listen to a current one so if you could, do a SHOUT OUT to myself in the future when I finally catch up to ur current stuff. Here’s hoping the Hayden’s baby was named Ra’s al Goo Goo.

    Existential Crisis
    Episode 561s intro sent me into a crisis and my brain into fight/flight mode. I was listening to the podcast exactly at the 59 after I had gotten home from work and frankly… I’m thrilled the boys have recognized me

    Great Show
    For a pair of American boys pretending to be from Australia, a made up location
  • PhD-KermitFrog
    The only podcast I listen to
    This podcast is informative and so funny. I love the relaxed feel of two bro’s hanging out and (as I like to imagine) punchin’ darts. As the title suggests it’s the only podcast I listen to. It actually isn’t but it kind of is, you know? “No I DONT know” -James

    Show is good. WAY TOO MANY ADS.
    Show is good. Like the guys. Won’t subscribe because the ads are out of control.

    Five Stars
    Mason, before I read this review I need to get something off my chest. I, James, do find Lola Bunny from the original Space Jam movie very attractive. That’s it. Back to the review - it says 5-stars.

    the only podcast asking the important questions
    why WAS don cheadle british in ocean’s eleven (2001)???????
  • jslberto
    Hey shut up
    Great podcast. They should look up Matt Damon’s impression of John Malkovich which is the most random unexpected thing I’ve ever seen

    2 brits fight wokeness
    If you’re sick of wokeness infesting Marvel movies like The Flash and Blue Beetle, I’ve got the podcast for you! These boys from England go through every comic book movie and call out every piece of wokeness, FINALLY. #releasetheREALsnydercut
  • 8-Bit Vigilante
    From the twisted mind of Little James
    Hilarious and inspiring. Always informative and interesting if you have a fandom especially an anime fandom this is the pod for you!
  • Worcesterical
    Finally Earned Five Stars
    Been listening to this podcast for a decade. Now that they have FINALLY reviewed the best comic book movie of all time, The Rocketeer, they have earned their 3rd 4th and 5th stars. Thanks mates.
  • Jcivie
    Podcasting gateway drug
    This was my first ever podcast and I’ve become a podcast addict I listen to at least 2-3 podcasts a day. Podcasts are Australias greatest export and these fellas introduced me to many other podcasts from their homeland. Great way to stay informed on film and pop culture without having to read.
  • iamb souperman
    Seriously great mates!

    My Inner Voice Is Now Australian
    After over a decade of getting red hot comic book movie news shot up my, well you know, my inner voice is now Australian. Thank you for the years, the laughs, and the consistency.
  • Best 5 star podcast 5 star
    Big time 5 star review
    These fellas are the best and are just as big as Rich Roll. I mean seriously their numbers are comparable so they have nothing to be insecure about! Also now that I have your attention remember when George Clooney did one of his classic “pranks” by throwing an apple at a woman's head? Remember that? Anyway 5 stars.

    Virginia Vs Maryland Drivecast
    My second favorite podcast dedicated to answering the age old question, what state has the better drivers Virginia or Maryland. Tune in You crook blokes!
  • Izzie’s Welch Grape Juice
    confused???
    This seems to be some kind of podcast. That’s all I’ve been able to ascertain thus far. Will update if I find out more information.

    Top movie podcast
    Top movie podcast, the banter between the guys is hilarious!

    If You Love The Rookie, You’ll Love This Podcast
    ABC’s official “The Rookie” weekly companion podcast, hosted by super-fans Nick and James!
  • WangSlayer69
    Best Podcast Since The Rookie!
    Ever since I binged all six seasons of The Rookie, my life has been dull, empty and meaningless… until I found this podcast! Knowing that Nick Mason also shares my love for The Rookie and all things movie, comics, and tv shows related, I have found joy and purpose again. Keep up the good work!

    The Rookie
    The Rookie bit might be the greatest bit ever
  • Arm chair engineer.
    THE ROOKIE!
    Is my favorite show I’ve never seen. Also looking forward to that snake eyes review.
  • KC Justin O
    My b*tt hole is sore from all the comic book news
    It’s like listening to the parents from Bluey explain the TV show “The Rookie” but less wholesome. 5 stars.
  • Blaiseboi
    Incredible
    Incredible Bobsledding podcasts, plus they occasionally talk about movies and have pretty good takes.
  • Sh hacktasticle
    Shifts the hierarchy of power in the podcast universe
    An absolutely incredible listen week to week! You never know what our favorite boys down under will get up to next whether it be talking about comic books, movies, or comic book movies! The only way this whole operation could be any better would be if ol James and Maso finally reviewed the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson classic “Black Adam” on their flagship review series “Caravan of Garbage”.

    Longest Listener
    Started listening to the boys when I was 3 years old. I just moved into the Linwood retirement home at the request of my grandchildren. This podcast has been the soundtrack of my life the whole time.

    A welcome break from all the chaos.
    The Daily Planet is the newspaper in the fictional city of Metropolis from the Superman comic books. This is the lighter entertainment focused weekend edition of that newspaper. The people of Metropolis need something to distract themselves from the misery of living in a city that is constantly under attack from supervillains and alien monsters. This weekly edition focuses on such things as local sports teams, upcoming school events, concerts, bar & restaurant reviews and any news about local theater productions. The craziest thing is it’s all written up by two woke bros from England.

    Life saving
    These guys saved my life. Found myself in a wild situation and remembered some advice that James and Maso gave a while back. "Don't accidentally run into a tennis shoe. Also don't accidentally run into a MURDEROUS CLOWN." I didn’t, and I didn’t. I’m here today because of these guardian angels.
  • Josh Sidekick
    The podcast we need these days.
    Look, we kinda screwed the pooch here in America this week so it’s good to have an escape from how terrible things might be. James and Maso are hilarious, insightful, and endlessly entertaining. Whether it’s movie news, superhero debates, or random tangents, their chemistry makes every episode a joy. Also, the movie about the video game that was a recruitment tool for space aliens they didn’t know the title of was the Last Starfighter. I didn’t email or tweet it, but there it is.

    Isn’t this what we’ve always dreamed about, Mark!
    Can you believe OUR Indiana Hoosiers football team is so good!?! If only we knew that all I needed to do was have a son and then IU would be good… Hope all is well in Iowa. Best, Luke
  • Tmifune
    Bet James doesn’t see this review
    Been listening since 2016 and can’t decide if I like the show or not. Guess I’ll have to keep listening until I figure it out. 🧡
  • Yaboymike10
    Please Stop Talking About Snake Eyes
    I am 548 episodes in and all I’ve heard these two Australians talk about is the hit movie Snake Eyes. I’m beginning to think they’ll never talk about the blockbuster event starring very normal man Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Red Notice. They’re really missing out on a superb film and an equally super Tequila brand.
  • Tea&folkpunk
    Five star review
    Doing my part by leaving a 5 star review to help the weekly planet beat Rich Roll’s numbers
  • Alex Colocousis
    Only consistent thing in my life
    I’ve been listening for 8 years. If I had to choose one podcast to listen to for the rest of my life — it’d be this.
  • sean the american
    The only good podcast
    I started listening to this podcast freshmen year of high school, I graduated college last year. These two knuckle heads basically raised me! And i turned out mostly fine
  • Dantalicious
    Where IS IT.
    Writing a review for ONE reason. In multiple episodes, I hear James or maso mention video or that if we can’t “see them, so-and-so is doing this”. But I’ve looked everywhere and there is no video version of this podcast!? I need to know if there is a video version that I’m missing out on! But five stars all around keep up the podding!
  • PaulBlartMallFart4EVER

    Amazing Australian Boys
    I’ve been listening to the Pod for over 4ish years now and I’ve got to say that James and Maso are perhaps the funniest Australians, or even podcasters/youtubers i’ve ever heard. Literally woken up my family at 2am laughing way to loud at their bits. 10 stars out of 5.
  • Milkman988
    The Funniest Podcast I Listen To
    I've listened to these two for years; the have genuinely smart and balanced takes on the films and shows they review, as well as the greater landscape of media and entertainment overall. But that is secondary to the fact that the comedy that comes from their quick wit and phenomenal chemistry is fantastic and always hilarious. This podcast could be about anything and it would still be great!
