Podcast Without Pretense HD

Originally started as a podcast about uncluttering your life, “Podcast Without Pretense” is the successor to “Uncluttercast.” Eric Sandine, Jonathan Strickland and Iyaz Akhtar discuss anything that pops into their heads. We don’t know what we’ll talk about until we start recording.

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 183 – The Couch Situation

We review "Glitch." It's the movie that had Jonathan Strickland say, "This movie is not good. It's a rom-com with little romance and zero comedy." Special disappearance by Eric's cat.

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 182 – After I saw her dead, I didn’t know her name

So it's come to this. There was a murder. A movie. A manilla envelope. Or we talked about yet another awful move, maybe even "#Horror."

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 181 – Beverly Crusher bones a ghost

We talked about the first episode of "Fuller House," season 3. Wonder how we got to Beverly Crusher? So do we.

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 180 – Top heavy, front-loaded

We reviewed "3-Headed Shark Attack." Why? Because we hate ourselves. Next up is "Fuller House" season three, episode one. Why? Because Iyaz hates Eric (for this week).

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 179 – Cults are alright

One of us endorses cults (sort of). Another creates a chimera of movies (sort of). And yet another endorses either or neither (sort of).

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 178 – The one where Jonathan pisses Iyaz off

The best new podcast of 2017 is back with a bang. This episode was not brought to you by ReelGood.com, but it could have been.

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 177 – No scenes added to the movie

Jonathan, Eric and Iyaz review "Death Race 2050," which is actually the second death racing movie they've covered in the history of PWP. After that, Jonathan devises a new challenge that either is brilliant or evil (or both).

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 176 – No transforming in Transformers?

Tonight's episode features the adjectiveless trio talking about all kinds of things including "Vampire Dog," "Transformers: The Last Knight" and bands. Plus, a bonus argument between Jonathan and Iyaz over "Beauty and the Beast!"

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 175 – Susan Exposition is my hero

Jonathan and Iyaz review "Vampire Dog." Eric takes a powder.

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 174 – That’s not a twist, that’s a straight line

In today's episode, we try to take on "Let's Be Evil." It's a sci-fi/horror-y kind of movie that has a lot of great concepts. The execution is a little less than great.

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 173 – The ability to be totally blind

We reviewed "Maximum Ride," not to be confused with "Maximum Overdrive" or "Maximum Drive" (which may or may not be movies at all). If you like bird-related nomenclature, you'll love this movie. If you love movies, you will probably not love this movie. Either way, you will enjoy this episode because we watched this flocking thing so you don't have to.

Podcast Without Pretense Ep. 172 – Carmelized friends on the ceiling

Jonathan, Iyaz and Eric take on "Satanic." No, it has nothing to do with the "Titanic." However, the movie was quite lousy. Here's an alternate title to this episode for your amusement: "Jesus, take the wheel and find a gas station."
