Fantastic 4
I might be crazy but I thought fantastic 4 was really bad. You guys must be getting paid by Disney

Headphone users beware
Love the content, but there’s too much yelling and talking over each other (Midnight boys). Goes from one person talking low so you turn it up to hear to them to everyone getting excited and having to yell their point at the same time.

Every Show is a hit
Every show on the Ringer-Verse feed is a must listen for any nerds out there. Whether it’s Button Mash, Mint Edition, or the Midnight Boys; you’re in for a great pod.

I love this pod so much that I watch the shows they cover just to enjoy the pod more
Really, I’ve endured some Disney plus slop just to lock into this podcast. The midnight boys do awesome work and their chemistry is unlike any I’ve ever enjoyed in a pod. There’s something so special about the four of yall covering a show together. I literally laugh out loud listening to every episode. I wish yall had covered every episode of Invincible s3 together (bc it was that good) but that’s really my only knock in 4 years of listening to yall. Love all of the gimmicks, inside jokes, and the off the rails convos.

Charles drags down the pod
The banter of the guys is fun but Charles’ bit as the contrarian is dragging down the podcast.

Update: video games
Love the button mash content. I know it’s more niche but gaming is so fun and such a big world. GTA pods are gonna hit

Good Content

“Cold Brew” Van
WHY! Why Van! 🤣 better yet, why the midnight boys let Van go crazy like that at the end of the Andor finale review! CHEFS KISS to that series btw! I love what yall doin. Love hearing yall talk crazy, even the Chuck be wild’n sometimes! “COLD BREW!” Keep it up!

How many “producers” does it take to put in the commercials
3 “producers” and 2 “production support” and no one can take an hour to properly put in the ad breaks?! Stop trying to be co hosts and maybe do more producer duties.

Best in class
This is a groundbreaking podcast. Incisive analysis done in an entertaining and colloquial manner. This is the entertainment and genre podcast for intellectuals, casuals and everyone in between. The rare podcast that covers genre and doesn’t require a person of color to hold their nose…

midnight boys’ biggest fan
found this pod after someone on Bluesky recommended House of R to me and i could not smash the subscribe buttons fast enough. tl;dr my love for Jomi, Jo, Mal, Chuck, Steve, and Van is *unlimited*. THANK YOU for the hours of joy and comedy punctuated with profound reflections on the human condition. And for helping us survive in this bananas timeline. also thank you for being approximately 49.9% out of pocket. please tour and come to portland i will bring literally everyone i know.

The Midnight Boys rock
I love the lively conversations and witty banter with their insightful reviews. Heartwarming and honest reviews. I absolutely agree with their review of SINNERS. thank you.

Can't do this anymore
If you flip the race in the conversations in this podcast, what exactly are we listening to? Makes me sad. I have been listeing to this podcast since Binge Mode was a thing. Is this a result of Trump's America, where all racism and stereotyping has free reign? I am genuinely sad to unsubscribe, but I am unable to get through an entire episode without feeling embarrassed in some way.

Love all pods on the feed, I really enjoyed the Franchise speed dating on button mash! Should make it a semi regular segment

Midnight Boys is the weakest Ringer pod
I do not enjoy the hosts of the midnight boys

Great podcasts
Love the podcasts but they really have to figure out the ads placement.

longtime listener, finally reviewing
My initial introduction into The Ringer-Verse was House of R & I am forever grateful to Mal & Jo for reawakening my inner nerd and showing me how cool it is to deeply care about things. In the past year I’ve also started to listening to The Midnight Boys and I truly think that pod is in their bag right now. In the past couple of months I have found myself laughing out loud weekly to their content. I think for both House of R & The Midnight Boys, the chemistry and connection of the hosts is at the core of what makes these shows great. Keep doing what you do, appreciate all of you!

They don’t speak facts on the movie business
This podcast is entertaining for opinions, but they often say things that are inaccurate. For example, they stated all of James gunny’s movies make a billion dollars when none have. They also said B- is a good cinema score when anyone who understands movies knows it is an underperforming score which usually signals the movie will perform negatively in multiple ways. So it’s nice to hear them tell jokes but they don’t understand the movie business.

Role Playing Rollercoaster!
The five of you were hilarious in this. Listened while I was out shopping and cracked up the entire time. The voices and reads, the confusion, the annoyance…loved it!

Ringer Quest!!!
The ringer quest episode was awesome! Keep doing them, invite CR. Laughed the whole time.

Cut the waffle
Love these guys but the podcast content proper is routinely hidden behind a banter-laden smear of social media plugs and programming announcements for other episodes. Please just put that at the end of the show or in the middle so I can hear what I’ve tuned in for without hammering the 30 seconds button back and forth to try and locate to actual conversation I tuned in for.

Just Skip Charles (or Maybe the Pod)
If you want positive discussion about the MCU and Star Wars, you’re probably better off checking out Jason Concepcion’s X-Ray Vision podcast. These guys tend to be a little too negative about everything, especially Charles. Man that guy is a jackass. He thinks he’s an intellectual but he’s just another contrarian with little to offer other than an utter dislike for anything Marvel or Star Wars. Over the years, I’ve found myself listening less and less to this show and more to others because I just want positive discussion. Life’s too short.

Too Loud. Too Much Overlap.
The Midnight Boys need to focus on the content and not their brand. It could be so good if they just discussed the subject and stopped yelling over one another. I have to adjust the volume routinely because it is all over the place.

Good one time. Gets old.
Charles and Van have their Schtick. It’s always the same. It gets less interesting the more you hear it. The other too are ok.

Wicked wokeness
*Earnestness warning* This week has been ROUGH and I have this little boy at home and I’m so scared of raising him in this country, but then I listened to the 4 of you talk about Wicked and toxic masculinity in a way that was hilarious and vulnerable and honest, but still so you, and I cried because I felt hope. Amongst all of these terrible people there are still people in this country, like you guys, that are going to move us forward and I am so grateful for that. And you are funny while you do it. Not enough stars out there for this one. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Thank you for re-wokening the unwokening just a little bit.

Pretty Good
Just gotta call these dudes out for falling over themselves with praise for “Wicked.” I almost fell out of my bed when they started talking about bangers in the film. Academy Award for Ariana Grande?! Ick. Still a funny episode. I just know now not to trust y’all’s taste. I’ll listen when I want to get mad at wacky takes.

Ignore the haters yall are gold
Great job always I can tell yall are having a lot of fun and talking about what interests you, which matters!
thedudewhowrotethisrevew
It’s a fun podcast
All the haters can shut it. You don’t have to listen if you don’t like it.
1) If everyone agreed about everything and liked everything it would be very bland. Thank you Chuck, you keep it interesting.
2) Midnight Boys (pew pew) do require a sense of humor. If you can’t tell the difference between a bit and seriousness you won’t like it.
3) I enjoy that this team has fun with each other and generally like each other.

Midnight boys!!!
Midnight boys is funniest podcast I’ve ever heard. Love listening to their smart, and comedic takes.

Yikes
Is there anyone in podcasting that loves to sound smart more than Steve ahlman. Listening to him try and be fennessey is beyond annoying. He loves to nitpick shows with absolutely no heart behind anything he says. I truly wish it could just be jomie talking for mint edition. Steve is just unbearably annoying. I mean these ringer folks are just people who like to rewrite shows. They aren’t here to talk about shows. They are here to tell us why good things aren’t perfect and why ok things are trash. No other point. They talk like they are excited about things. But then they start talking and you realize they aren’t actually saying anything about the project. And also, Jessica’s Clemons doesn’t belong on the final episode of arcane when she wasn’t in any of the others. She just took over like she usually does.

what are we doing here…
poured many hours into this content but listening to charles is bringing too much negativity into my life. hot take: being a high brow critic doesn’t mean you automatically dump on everything.

I listen to the Midnight Boys immediately after it’s downloaded on my phone. Ignore the Russian haters screaming about racism and check this out!

Charles is an issue
Stopped listening because of Charles, came back cause enjoyed the new episodes of Agatha, and stopped again cause Charles is just annoying - it’s fine not to like something but Charles is just annoying to listen to

Racist Garbage
The whitest movie draft? Typical hypocritical garbage.

Charles is annoying
I enjoy the crew and the banter outside of Charles. He’s doing a bit and I get that but it doesn’t make for a fun listening experience.
funkyfresh1017
These reviews are ridiculous
Not every person has to like every IP…. Let these hosts have their opinions…. Watching Van and Charles verbally spar back and fourth while giving us black pop culture references and conversations is top tier!!!!!! Sorry that you don’t get it, sorry that it’s too raunchy… you probably took your toddlers to see Deadpool and asked for a refund. Yes Van takes over sometimes….. he’s supposed to!!! He’s the face of the show he’s the Jalen Brunson of the team….. RELAX. As a real fan of Midnight Boys, Button Mash and Mint edition keep doing yall. Oh more Jessica Clemons please. 💁🏽♀️✨

My favorite part is when they all talk over each other the whole episode, every episode.

Too locker room talk
I’ve listened to the midnight boys since the beginning and loved it but it has been getting harder and harder to listen to as a woman. At some point they got too comfortable and started the locker room talk. Ten minutes on chest booty and Sydney Sweeney’s boobs? I’ve heard about porn and erections on multiple episodes now and I’m over them digging into Steve and jomi’s sex lives. Van is getting offensive. Y’all think it’s funny to rib them but as a woman it is really dehumanizing.
Reign it in a little or hire a woman who can tell you when you cross the line but I signed up for comic book lore, not being objectified every single episode

Cross over
I checked out the Deadpool episode as a result of the Big Picture cross over. 20 minutes in and you haven’t talked about the movie. And the conversation is directed at someone who doesn’t like comic book movies. Waste of time.
NONEEE
Mainly complaining
Used to like this podcast. Has turned into just of people talking over each other, not much structure and complaining about everything.
Carter VanDoom
Charles…
Please find a new gig if u hate it all so much. Van, please find a new #2 and save the show. So much potential being wasted.
The Real Jack Bauer
Charles
Charles is tremendously irritating and unlikable. He is the Cristen Cole of this podcast. They should release a director's cut with his voice edited out. Fans would rejoice like the Purple Wedding.

Get Amanda away from midnight boys
“I fell asleep during the 1 episode of Loki I watched” being the main voice on the episode about Deadpool and Wolverine? What are we doing!?

Big Pic Crossover
Must be exhausting for Charles to always be hating

Work on your game
Van is starting to overpower the pod. “LET ME TELL YOU WHY WE ARE SO BACK”, while giving an analogy so far out of left field that ultimately doesn’t even come close to landing the plane.
JayFSUSeminole
fantastic but
the constant race talk is exhausting

Love the podcast
Been binge listening for a few days now. Love the chemistry and conversation, Chuck is a hater but he always takes time and makes his arguments very sound. It’s a great listen.

Most Positive Reactions to the Acolyte out there
You guys said the song at the end credits of episode 7 of the Acolyte was a banger. Yall truly trolling or yall really playing Pat Bev defense defending this abomination of a Star Wars show. You guys might be saying the Acolyte is not working, but you guys were far more critical of other subpar Star Wars shows. We can applaud people trying new things and taking risks in Star Wars, but new and different isn’t always better, especially if people’s own agendas mess up shows by completely contradicting Star Wars lore and canon. I loved you guys for your different and funny reactions as well as your sports analogies to our favorite shows/movies, but your coverage of the Acolyte just doesn’t seem genuine.
