Comedian Alex Falcone and recovering Silicon Valley corporate stooge Ezra Fox have been making stuff together since their first college radio show in 2006. Together with screen writer/angry socialist Anthony Lopez and comedian/board game influencer Hunter Donaldson they produced a podcast about movies called Read it and Weep for several years. That show went from being about bad books to good movies, so the logical extension was to raise their expectations to best and widened their scope to things. In each episode of The Best Thing Ever, the four friends and their guests nominate something for Best Thing Ever, dive deep into its history and meaning, and then rank it on the Master List of Best Things.
