If you love listening to an unfunny, desperate-sounding guy that is clearly shilling for a certain studio hoping for more access or a real job, a severely abrasive girl with a grating raspy voice that that will give you tinnitus, a guy who knows nothing about anything, an angry swearing guy, a girl who just says "yaw" and "that's sick" and little else, and an intense motormouth who sounds like he has a pure caffeine drip in his vein all frantically wringing their hands in a garage about superheroes and star wars and discussing their "business plans", then this one's for you.

If you're a fan of film and superhero movies, "The Big Thing" is the podcast for you. Hosted by the knowledgeable and charismatic Kristian Harloff, the show offers insightful and entertaining commentary on the latest movie news, trailers, and releases.

Great Show, We catch up on Monday’s - I get up to early Monday for the Sunday night gig

Found The Big Thing following Coy to Capes and Cowls. It's the most "sitting with your friends talking about movies and tv" vibe you'll find in the crowded market and I mean that as the highest compliment. Kristian and his guests all have great chemistry and you'll feel like you're part of the conversations. It's great seeing and hearing so many people talk passionately about what they love. Not a single person on this show shies away from their opinion on something, but they all know how to show some class by staying respectful and down to earth, even when they disagree.

I have been a huge fan of big thing and all previous shows following the crew and continue to enjoy. The only gripe I really have is the volume on the podcast can be low. In my car I basically have my car volume maxed out to understand what’s going on while driving on the freeway. And when it switches back to my regular radio it’s blasting since that’s where I had it for the podcast. Same when I am at work and listening on my headphones, the sound is not loud like other podcast and seems a little faint when the volume is all the way up. Just wish it could be louder.

You have got to do something about the audio volume. I tried to listen to Sith Council today and could not hear anything being discussed. Please and thank you!

Way too many impersonations, like every five minutes, and lots of really boring conversation about nothing. I've tried numerous times to get through this show, I really wanted to like it, but I frequently find myself zoning out, because they're just not talking about ANYTHING interesting. Tons of Ads, like every five minutes an Ad.

I have followed Kristian from Collider to now and every show he is a part of is truly a great watch or listen. I can’t watch YouTube all the time but I listen to all the podcasts. This is the show for everyone to listen to that loves movies and entertainment. It’s just real and down to earth. Wonderful crew with Brett and Roxy, Steph and Mike and Winston and Coy. Everyone should be listening to this podcast.

I adore this show. Kristian is a great host, if you’re a movie fan or if you aren’t that big of a movie fan but need an introduction into fandom, or even just one movie or show. My favorite combination is Kristian, Coy and Winston. But I also love Brett, Roxy, and all the others. Kristian brings out the best in all of them. He lets them be themselves. Which I love. Easily my favorite show on YouTube and my favorite podcast to listen to on here. I listen every day. I can’t say that about any other show/podcast other than Felger and Mazz here in Boston. But that’s a sports show, so it’s different. Anyway, if you’re a film fan, this is the channel for you. It has everything, and tons of variation, and different viewpoints. Which can’t be said about the other shows that are comparable.

Kristian Harloff is one of the best out there when it comes to covering entertainment news. He brings on the best people and the conversation is always great. You should definitely be listening to this podcast.

Love the content, funny and informative.

I really love the new format of the show and having this be Kristians focus. I never could get in to Schmoes and the podcast was tough with the robo questions always interrupting, etc. With the new show it’s all about Kristian and the crew chatting and covering all the topics. I only get to listen to the pod as I can’t watch the show while at work, but this is my new go-to pod.

Love to listen to this everyday at work. Can’t always watch the video but I never miss a listen.

Kristian knows his Star Wars very insightful tremendously charismatic very intelligent and the shows are pure entertainment

Love the show and the podcast. Been a fan for over 5 years now, but honestly the 1 star reviews have me dying.

I loved the conversation on Friday’s show and how it organically went from Kristian’s favorite movies of Rocky and Terminator. To connecting that with time travel and Loki season finale. To a mind bending multiverse discussion and what could happen after you to. To the emotional personal store of 9/11. Ending with the laughs of line jumping while taking a crap and doing acid (not recommend). This episode was a nice treat for my birthday. Great show keep up the good work and love listening to you in the car. Kate you are hilarious. I give this show 10 schmoes!

I feel like these guys are too narrow minded to even see the beauty in the franchise. They also can’t even title the movies right. It’s “The Lost World”.

I’ve been listening and watching Kristian and many of his guests since the old Collider days, and this show continues the awesomeness of that old content in spades. I listen nearly everyday. Thank you for providing informative entertainment discussion, with a heavy splash of hilarity. It’s like hanging with a group of friends you haven’t seen in years! Best wishes, and cheers!

Awesome channel

One of the most fun shows out there! If you wanna hear about the latest on the world of movies/tv and want to listen to hosts who know how to have fun, this is the podcast for you! Seriously, just give it a chance and you’ll get hooked!

Harloff has been my go to for movie and tv pop culture entertainment for years now.

Collider killed what was one of my favorite channels. Having Mr Harloff back and he is in the same form as years past,same energy and entertaining spirit that we all love, this is a must channel.

Really knows how to read a room while not changing himself. Best podcaster in the world at connecting to his viewers while being himself. If If in charge of marketing a company Harloff would be free first podcast I turn to.

Prolly some of the best podcasting I’ve ever listened to, makes you feel a part of the conversation. Makes you feel like you could be at a bar or around the couch just talking. I’ve followed you guys from amc to now always great conversation.

It’s a beautiful mess in the best way; real life talk, entertainment news and it’s always funny. You guys make the work day feel a bit shorter.

I have been a huge fan of Kristan Harloff and all of the schmoes from back in the day when I discovered them in high school. And now here I am at the spray age of 23 years old still listening and loving the evolution of everything and everyone! I’ve been listening to this new podcast; the big thing since it launched and have been hooked! Listening to these guys talk is like when you are sitting down with your friends having a few drinks and just having a fun time. Kristan is a phenomenal host and does a great job really engaging with his guests and bringing out a great conversation. These guys really help me laugh when I’m cleaning around the house, working, or just need a good laugh and escape after an extremely long day. I cannot recommend this podcast enough! Listening since the schmoes know days and just watching the evolution of these shows and where everyone has gone has been amazing to see as a fan! Everyday I come onto Apple podcasts and YouTube to see if a new episode has been uploaded yet because I just can’t get enough of these shows. Every episode is highly entertaining, the conversations really bring up good points, it feels really engaging just as a fan listening, and just listening to these guys stories make my day. And I love that the conversations don’t feel forced, they don’t stay on one topic for too long, and it just feels like a natural conversation where they don’t have to run through so many topics and stories within a set period of time. You really don’t get a whole lot of personality with other podcasts. But here you get SO MUCH personality and get a whole cast of different people. To where each episode always feels new. Always feels fresh. Keep up the great work on these podcasts and I cannot wait to see where this show and the others go from here!

This podcast is like shaving My nuts for the first time; true game changer

I’m loving the big thing! Been following Kristian and the schmoes for several years and this is some of my favorite content period. Love the conversations and the lack of pretentiousness. It’s a breath of fresh air and I’ll support the show as long as it’s around! It’s tough to find a show with a host that cares as much about his fans as kristian. Feels like I’ve known Kristian, brett and mark for years thanks for all the good times. Keep it up Schmoes!!

It is perfect when I’m at work with my headphones on

It’s HUGE people! Thanks for the great show Schmoes!

Love this show! If you looking for great conversations then give this one a listen!

Don’t have much else to say

been following you guys since 2014 and just every single episode is better then the last #SENNation

I enjoy listening to this show while I workout

Following the crew since 2014 and the AMC days. Definitely feels like that old school vibe!

Just Kristian and friends shooting the preverbal “S word” it’s fantastic!

Love the content guys was watching it on YouTube but if this helps you guys more Iam more than happy to go here and listen to it here instead

My go-to podcast for a good laugh and movie / show news. Been listening to Kristian since the Collider days. Give these guys a listen.

Here for Harloff, well done

My favorite show to watch/listen to, highly recommend any newcomers to check out the channel.

I hate it. This is better.

They’re great! One of my favorite podcasts!

Like the old days. Very enjoyable . It’s very hard now a days to talk about anything but these guys do it right

I was getting pretty tired of the old SEN Live format. i wasn't the biggest fan of the hosts besides Kristian, and it felt like they asked for money more than they talked about movies. Now that they made the change to The Big Thing podcast we get more Harloff and actually conversations about movies. Ive really been enjoying this new format and cant wait to hear more!

The podcasts allows me to keep updated to the shows. The fun conversations keeps me coming back to the content.

Love these guys

Looking forward to seeing this show grow up!

Awesome show. Everyone needs to listen. The crew has singlehandedly gotten us through the difficult year and a half and they’re continuing to do it. Hilarious commentary, great conversation, and awesome personalities. 10/10 recommend

This show use to be really entertaining and enjoyable to listen to but now it’s far from that. From Rocha complaining about a white guy winning an award to the host constantly begging for money I can’t listen to it anymore.

Rather than having a discussion on a film’s merits, they instantly go for race, gender, etc.. The hatred for white actors comes across so strong sometimes you’d call it racism.
