Is This Art Good?

Two lifelong pals review and give their occasionally biased opinions on well-loved, hated, and undeserving pieces of media.

03/12/2022

Thank you for making our 2022 another year of SUCCESSSSSSS!

We've gotten awesome reception this year and we are so excited about it!!

We've also decided to take a bit of a break from the podcast and have some fun with other artistic endeavours so THANK YOU ALL AGAIN for thinking that THIS art is good, and we'll be back 👀

20/11/2022

FINAL WEEK OF OCTORROR BEFORE OUR HALLOWEEN SPOOKY SPEKTRAKULARRRRR!!!

We review THE classic, HALLOWEEN.

Can you believe Alfonz never saw this until this year???

Come explore the inner workings of the mind of a madman and a very nervous psychiatrist!

16/10/2022

OCTORROR CONTINUES.

EPISODE 52B IS STREAMING NOW!!

Dario Argento's DEMONS - a movie Devin heard of from a podcast that he doesn't remember. Kudos to them.

Come get scratched, bitten, and gooed on with this review of an incredibly 80s film!

09/10/2022

Welcome to OCTORROR!!

A month of horror/spooky/creepy themed reviews!

First up, Episode 52a: NOPE.

Alfonz picked Jordan Peele's newest film as the first piece - come dig into carnivorous apes and floating menaces with us!

05/10/2022

DID WE FORGET TO POST ABOUT OUR WARIO LAND 3 EPISODE???

ABSOLUTELY.

Is it out NOW and crushing us with the weight of the prospect of a god's untimely demise at the hands of a chubby mustachioed man??

ABSOLUTELY.

18/09/2022

EPISODE 51A OUT NOW!!

We review a 70s prog rock classic - Larks' Tongues in Aspic by King Crimson!

Devin gave Alfonz this album so we could finally discuss some of the hilarious stereotypes and tropes associated with prog. Come along on our medieval journey and eat little birdies 👀

11/09/2022

ANNOUNCMENT:
Today's episode is the FIRST of a new sub-serues we're starting called MILK BUDS.

Milk Buds is a series of bite-sized mini-episodes where we review things that are too short to warrant a full episode.

This week, we sink our teeth into "How To Cook From Tokyo's Vending Machines" from Munchies.

04/09/2022

WOOOOW EPISODE 50!!!

For this one, we're not reviewing - we're celebrating!

We decided to do a bit of a retrospective on our podcast so far, including trivia and tip 10 lists.

50 two-part episodes actually means ONE HUNDRED episodes, and we're so excited. This is a milestone for us, and we couldn't be happier with the reception we've gotten!

Check it out and test your knowledge against ours!

21/08/2022

Back to our regularly scheduled programming, we return with a review of DRIVER: PARALLEL LINES!

Devin used to rock the janky Wii version of this game and wanted to experience the whole thing again...or just listen to that sick 70s funk.

Who's up for a GTA clone??

14/08/2022

1/2
HELLO! We have returned, and with our return comes a bonus episode!

Our recent vacation took Devin across eastern Canada and we decided to review some billboards that were spotted along the way.

Are billboards art? Are most of these billboards trash? Swipe along with the episode for maximum effect!

14/08/2022

2/2
Admittedly, the stranger of two groups of images. Turns out advertisements in rural Canada can get kind of surreal.

What is the significance of the egg?

21/07/2022

YEEEESSS WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR SECOND BIRTHDAY!!

Thank you so much to everyone has streamed, watched, commented, laughed, gotten angry, and given us feedback since we started in 2020. We love making this show and comparing media to dairy products, and we hope it's been worth your while.

We're currently taking the time to have a summer vacation after a wild spring in our personal lives, and will return to you in August with more reviews!!

12/07/2022

EPISODE 48B IS OUT!!

WHY did we wait to post about it?? We were busy travelling to the distant future (the year 2097) and saving the world with our review of CRYSTALIS.

This is an old school action-RPG that has both a PLOT (mostly) and GAMEPLAY. Two elements that you could argue make up a game!

Is that vague enough for you?? Listen to hear what really happens...if you dare.

03/07/2022

VIDEO EPISODE!!

Episode 48a is out NOW!! We review Kajillionaire - a dark comedy-drama-crime film about the joys of parenting. That's actually pretty inaccurate.

Alfonz picked this one in the hopes it would throw us a wacky curveball with its plot...listen (or watch!) to see if that happened!

20/06/2022

THE OTHER HALF OF EPISODE 47 IS OUT NOOOOW!!

This episode is a review of The Box, a bizarre film that's all about CHOICES. Is the message more muddled than that? Maybe. But we made the CHOICE to watch this film.

Was it a good choice? Listen to find out.

12/06/2022

EPISODE 47A IS OUT NOW!

**PLAY THIS GAME BEFORE LISTENING. LIKE SERIOUSLY. THIS EPISODE RUINS ALL ELEMENT OF SURPRISE**

Ever heard of Anatomy? Psychological body-horror madness. And it's SHORT.

The review touches on lovely subjects such as our favourite body parts, and the benefits of having a big backyard.

05/06/2022

YEEHAW!

We're back with our first ever review of a COUNTRY album! It's Pony by Orville Peck!

A powerful album for the start of Pride Month, Alfonz gave Devin this one so we could challenge our tastes and discuss all the little twangs and fringes that make this record what it is.

27/05/2022

We have made a grave error 💀💀💀

Yes, just one week after shaking off the dust, we have to skip a week because we're silly lads and couldn't get our act together to record this week.

WE'RE SORRY!

BUT we will return with our regularly scheduled release (although not at a regularly scheduled time)

22/05/2022

WE'RE BACK BAYBEEEEE!!

After a nice two week break, we return with a short and sweet review of some poetry!

Known as one of the worst poets in history, we give William McGonagall a fair shake at redeeming himself through our eyes.

It's form of art we haven't reviewed before, and comes to us by request from

06/05/2022

Taking a break this week!

You'll have to find something cooler to do with your Sunday afternoon (pfft good luck), but we will return shortly with more art that is either good or bad or in between!

02/05/2022

EPISODE 45B IS NOW LIVE!

We review a piece of DEEP Canadian Content - a series from the 90s named after our national anthem, O Canada!

Devin sorta messed up when assigning this one so listen for viewing instructions at the start of the episode.

Yes, we absolutely used this as an excuse to cover as many Canadian stereotypes as possible, and laugh at ourselves and our heritage.

24/04/2022

VIDEO EPISODE!!!

Episode 45a is a review of OMNIBUS - a little game about a bus where you ARE the bus!

It's a goofy, short little game, so we had LOTS of time to talk about things that are just barely relevant! Our favourite kind of episode 😎

Listen for this tangent-filled joy ride of a review and (if you're on Spotify) see our CUTE FACES!

20/04/2022

Absolutely CRUCIAL supplemental material for our Blade episode!

Don't miss this important piece of podcast lore - the TROCK.

Listen for context and to get in on the ground level of this earth-shattering vehicular experience!

(Art by Alfonz of course )

17/04/2022

AHHHHHH!!!!

EPISODE 44B IS OUT TODAY!

We review the film that started the Marvel Cinematic Universe - BLADE.

This episode was an absolute blast to record, and the conversation takes us to places that we never could have expected would be related to this edgy, action-packed THRILL RIDE.

Stream on your preferred platform and share your thoughts with us!

10/04/2022

EPISODE 44A IS STREAMING NOOOOOOOOW!

We review SNL: The Best of Chris Farley!

01/04/2022

SURPRISE

Our episode this week is out TODAY.

"Wow guys, how is this even a joke or a fooling of us?"

Well maybe it's just supposed to be a celebration of goofiness! Who KNOWS?

Answer: we know.

Listen to find out what it is we're reviewing.

27/03/2022

EPISODE 43B IS STREAMING NOW!!!

We review Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken"! A little anime about animation.

Alfonz gave Devin this in the hopes that we could do a deep dive into what makes this form of art great, and that * one * of us might learn something.

Let's see how that panned out 👀👀

Why This Podcast Exists

Devin and Alfonz started “Is This Art Good?” out of a desire to share entertainment and media with one another. After moving to different parts of the country, the two friends found it harder and harder to convince one another to check out things they were passionate about. This podcast was created in order for the cohosts to broaden each other’s artistic horizons, and maybe even their own. In the face of diverging tastes, the pair will force each other to consume various films, tv shows, albums, books, and video games that they may not be familiar with (or perhaps, are TOO familiar with). Everything gets a fair shot, but some have better luck winning their hearts than others.

Episodes are released every other Sunday at noon local time, and include two parts; A and B, with each part focusing on a different piece of media that our cohosts assign to each other. New pieces are announced at the end of Part B, and it’s our hope that you follow along as we attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?
