Comedian Tom McCaffrey and guests dissect movies and pop culture while being hilarious.
The Brooklyn podcast is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon after hearing Tom McCaffrey's album on Spotify. The chemistry between Tom and his co-host, Alex, is undeniable and their banter is hilarious. Whenever I need a laugh, this is my go-to podcast. The latest episode discussing plot smokers had me in stitches.
One of the best aspects of The Brooklyn podcast is the dynamic between Tom and Alex. They have great comedic timing and their perspectives on comedy, films, and life in general are refreshing and funny. It feels like they come up with bits on the fly and just riff off of each other, creating a natural and entertaining conversation. Tom's wit and humor shine through in every episode.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the guests that they bring on. They always have interesting and funny people from the New York City comedy scene, adding variety to the show. The movie dissecting segments are also a highlight, as Tom and Alex offer unique perspectives and often find unintentional comedy in cheesy films.
The only downside to The Brooklyn podcast is that some listeners may miss Matt, who was previously part of the show. However, Eric has proven to be a welcome replacement with his own brand of humor. It would also be nice to have more road stories shared by the hosts, as those always make for entertaining episodes.
In conclusion, The Brooklyn podcast is a must-listen for fans of comedy. Tom McCaffrey's infectious humor combined with Alex's comedic chops creates an unstoppable duo that keeps me laughing episode after episode. Their riffing style brings a refreshing perspective to comedy podcasts, making it stand out from the rest. If you're looking for some guaranteed laughs, give this podcast a listen - you won't be disappointed.
