  • Resumen

  • When you spend all day in a studio shooting a YouTube series about drinking, things can run off the rails in a hurry, and carefully managing that chaos is vital if you’re going to make a show like How to Drink, and that’s what Greg & Meredith have done for years. Here at Midnight Local we give into that chaos and let the rails be damned. These are the conversations that make you pause the movie because it just can't wait. Things like how the Hays Code destroyed cinema from 1934 - 1968, why David Lindelof should never be able to hold a pen again, and the fact that Joss Whedon doesn't live up to the morality of his own characters and also has tiny teeth. Midnight Local is a place to get weird about movies and shows and the rest and go beyond the who, what and where.

Fun for movie lovers

I started watching this because I loved Greg and Merideth's tangents on Greg's YouTube channel, How to Drink. It doesn't disappoint. Give it a shot.

If you like HTD you will like this podcast

Gregg and Meredith are quite the dynamic duo. Gregg is the crusty cynic and Meredith, a good foil Gregg, shines silver linings on Greg's figurative dark cloud.

I like their reviews, stories, and complete side tangents they share in the podcast. In HTD they make the show worthwhile by not just showing you how to make a drink, but giving interesting facts, stories, and rumors surrounding the drink. I feel in Midnight Local they bring that same model they share with drink to movies and other pop culture topics. I highly recommend the podcast.
