#1 EROTIC THRILLER/TEEN MOVIE PODCAST IN THE WORLD. TRUST NO GHOUL.
The Swimfans podcast is an absolute gem in the world of podcasts. As someone who listens to it while working in an office cubicle, I can attest to its hilarity. These guys never fail to crack me up with their witty and offbeat humor. In fact, their humor is so infectious that I find myself frequently jotting down quotes from their episodes in a notebook by my desk. The laughter they bring is truly a highlight of my day.
What sets Swimfans apart from other comedy podcasts is that it isn't just about the laughs. These guys also bring honesty and genuine emotions to the table. Some of their episodes touch upon deep and meaningful topics, leaving listeners feeling moved and connected. It's a perfect balance between humor and heart, making each episode a delight to listen to.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the chemistry between the hosts. They genuinely love and support each other, which shines through in their dynamic on-air presence. Their banter feels natural and unforced, creating an inviting atmosphere for listeners. Additionally, they have a knack for dissecting movies, the film industry, and art as a whole with insightful perspectives that keep you engaged from start to finish.
However, like any podcast, there are bound to be some flaws. While Swimfans is known for its uncensored opinions, there are moments where their discussions may veer into controversial or offensive territory for some listeners. It's important to remember that comedy is subjective, and what may be funny to one person can be offensive or hurtful to another.
In conclusion, The Swimfans podcast is an incredible show that brings together humor and heartfelt conversations in a way that few others do. These three guys have created something truly special with this podcast - a space where they can share their genuine thoughts while keeping us entertained with their hilarious commentary on movies and more. Whether they're making you laugh out loud or tugging at your heartstrings, Swimfans is a definite must-listen for any podcast enthusiast.

WELCOME TO ONO-SENDAI 2! From the Director of the Lawnmower Man, it's Virtuosity!!! i actually rewatched the lawnmower man the other day. i found a copy of the director's cut which is (somehow) about 30 minutes longer. it much more clearly shows the directors ambitions to make something like a universal monster movie but for the 90s. it has a morally questionable scientist and a monster. the ambitions are quickly abandoned in favor of cg NONSENSE, but i'm happy there's a director's cut out there! you should youtube search "lawnmower man brain mowing" swimfanspod.com patreon.com/swimfans
