The Doofcast is our all-purpose variety show. It’s where we get the excuse to talk about news/controversies in the entertainment world, dive deep into some of our favorite movies, TV shows, video games and directors, and occasionally talk about the latest new movies. Formerly called The Daly Planet Podcast, the name shifted with our rebrand. Matt and Scott are often joined by guests Michael (who hates everything) and Daniel (who loves everything)
