The Always Sunny Podcast Review

The Pitch:

An unofficial look-back from the creators of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

The Product:

Here at Podcasteroid, we’ve had a few things to say about celebrity podcasts lately. If you weren’t aware, there are a few of them. “Enough to go round” you could say. “Too many” is another take. You could even say there’s so many that they are strangling the life out of independent voices that first elevated and were elevated by the medium of podcasting.

A recent interviewee went so far as to compare them to aural trash…

So why, after all that are we featuring the Always Sunny Podcast? Well, much like Seth Rogen’s Storytime, because despite the over-saturation of “Hollywood guys talking to Hollywood guys” content out there, and all the negative impacts this type of show could have for the previously independent space, it’s a good podcast. It’s really fucking entertaining.

Each episode is a loose recap of an episode of the TV show, in order. I say loose because compared to fan-led recap shows, this doesn’t get into much of the actual minute by minute recapping you might be used to. Instead there’s behind the scenes info, pontifications on how the material has aged, and non-sequitors that any fan of the show should love.
