Any "Now Playing Podcast" fans here?

I've been listening to them for a couple of years now and I appreciate the regular, consistent quality work they put out. Within about a month they're also going to start reviewing SW, from the beginning - something Arnie said they'd NEVER do.

Of course, we're going to see LOTS of green arrows, although the promised Holiday Special review at Christmas should be interesting, if only to hear Stuart's head explode!

So does anybody else here listen regularly?

I downloaded a few episodes. The Ant-Man one got repetitive, so I'm hoping that's not the case for all of them. It has a similar feel to the iFanboy Pick of the Week Podcast Special Edition podcasts, where they review the super-hero movies that comes out. Maybe because I'd listened to their podcast for the last few years I regularly collected comics, but I enjoyed their back-and-forth more. Plus, they said the same things about the movie in about 1/4 of the time Now Playing used.

Maybe I'll be proved wrong if the other podcasts are less repetitive and more enjoyable, but I'm not sure podcast reviews that are as long or longer than the movie they are talking about it are a good thing. Especially for a movie like Ant-Man, which was good.

I'm now starting 2001: A Space Odyssey to see how they handle this one. With so much depth to this and the symbiotic relationship to the novel, I can see them talking about it for close to 2 hours.
