A podcast where Daniel Erenberg and Henry Papale discuss films that were hammered into the shape of a franchise.

The Franchise podcast is hands down my favorite podcast and has been the only one I've listened to for the past five months. Despite the turmoil of the world events, I find solace in tuning in to this podcast hosted by two normal dudes who discuss movie franchises. It may seem strange to choose a light-hearted show like this instead of news or NPR, but who cares? The irreverent style and entertaining banter between Dan and Henry make each episode a joy to listen to, whether they're going off on tangents about films, actors, the movie industry, or sharing their own personal experiences and friendship. I enjoy their witty humor and insightful discussions about movies, and it has become a part of my weekly routine.
The best aspect of The Franchise podcast is the fun and engaging dynamic between hosts Dan and Henry. Their chemistry is palpable, and they have a great rapport with one another. They bring a wealth of knowledge about movies while keeping the conversation interesting and entertaining. Even if I haven't seen the movie they're discussing, I still enjoy tuning in because they always manage to make it captivating with their humor and perspectives. Additionally, their Patreon content offers even more value for listeners who want extra episodes and bonus content.
As for the worst aspects of this podcast, there aren't many that come to mind. However, some listeners have noted that the microphones of each host are at different levels, making it challenging when listening with earbuds. While it's a minor inconvenience, it would be great if this could be addressed to ensure a consistent audio experience for all listeners.
In conclusion, The Franchise podcast is an absolute gem that I highly recommend to anyone who loves movies and has a sense of humor. Dan and Henry's expertise combined with their comedic flair creates an enjoyable listening experience that keeps me coming back for more each week. The show offers a reprieve from the chaos of the world and delivers a dose of entertainment, trivia, and exposure to movies outside of my comfort zone. I can't wait to listen to future episodes and continue supporting the hosts through their Patreon. Kudos to Dan and Henry for creating such a fantastic podcast!
