Customer Reviews
Riveting insights!
Thank you for such a well done and captivating podcast! I always look forward to listening.
Intelligent, entertaining, thoughtful, brilliant
I’ve been teaching high school English for almost 18 years now, and I was researching the Arthurian Legends when I stumbled upon this podcast. This mashup of history, literature, philosophy, storytelling, and film is so compelling and so fascinating that I haven’t stopped listening. It doesn’t hurt that I love “nerd culture,” and a lot of my favorites are discussed here! I recommend anyone who is looking for an intelligent, thoughtful, and entertaining listen check this podcast out. Definitely my new favorite.
A unique twist on the movie lover's podcast
The Midnight Myth is possibly the most unique movie podcast I've ever listened to...the deep, educated dive into the history and mythology of the focused film adds a new layer of appreciation and complexity that will now have me rethinking some of my favorite films!
