Podcast Review: MeanDawg Top 5


MeanDawg Top 5 is hosted by creator Jay Haas. The show features Top 5 movie lists provided by Jay and his co-hosts, Dave Alluisi, Randy Anderson, and Mark Eichenberger. Like the best podcasts out there, MeanDawg is a gang of friends who sit around microphones and record a podcast. That's the best thing about this show. The show is absolutely hilarious and fun, but the MeanDawg crew all have great taste in movies. They're not film critics or film snobs, but they know what is good and what's complete shit. When a group of movie reviewers love Bill Paxton, Akira Kurosawa, and Kenny Loggins that truly shows how awesome their taste in films is. Who doesn't like Kenny Loggins? People with bad taste, that's who! Danger Zone, baby!

It's very refreshing to hear a top 5 movie podcast that doesn't have completely trash lists. When you hear something like the Movie Junkie podcast that isn't funny and features favorite foreign film choices like The Ring, it's refreshing to hear MeanDawg. Yes, I said The Ring. Not Ringu, which would actually make sense. THE RING and that was just a number five choice.

The MeanDawg Top 5 podcast is easy to get hooked on and I guarantee that if you give it a listen, you will immediately click the get all button on iTunes and make your way quickly through the entire backlog of the show. You'll listen to one show, have a lot of fun, and completely lose track of time. I'm listening to one right now and I've been laughing my ass off, but when I opened up iTunes I realized that only eight minutes were left. MeanDawg has been a bit off with the release schedule lately because of a busy Mr. Haas, but I'm sure things will get back on track soon and even though the release schedule has been a bit crazy, the episodes are better than they have ever been before. Join in on all of the lists, tournaments, hilarity, recommendations, and classic moments. One of the best podcasts out there, not just one of the best movie podcasts out there. There are few things that I can recommend as highly as this. Please check it out, because that's exactly why I reviewed this podcast. I want you all to subscribe and love it as much as I do.
