Anime, Oscars, a Christmas slasher, and the rest of his week.
Crewsin Podcast is Andrew Crews talking straight to listeners about whatever he has been watching: Peaky Blinders on Netflix, Hell's Paradise on Crunchyroll, the Oscars, a true-crime documentary. His life comes into it too, from gym routines and a sore back to a niece's engagement party.

Crewsin Podcast plays like catching up with a friend who has been watching a lot of television. Andrew Crews introduces himself as the host, gives the date, and more often than not remarks on how fast the year is slipping by. Time dilation gets a mention. So does daylight saving time. Then the conversation follows what he has been watching, and the range is wide: crime drama, awards season, anime, horror and a true-crime documentary all come up within a handful of episodes. On Peaky Blinders, he admits the first episode left him lukewarm until a friend sold it to him as The Wire, The Sopranos and Snowfall, only set in Britain. Now he wants to dress like the characters. His Oscar talk is mostly about Sinners, with a detour into a performance in Weapons that he calls the most unnerving thing he has ever watched. That is quite a statement from someone who says scary movies are not usually his thing. He also wonders aloud why Lovecraft Country got only one season, then saves the theory for Patreon. He describes a Christmas horror film, Silent Night, Deadly Night, watched with the temperature sitting at 80 degrees, including its axe-wielding killer in a Santa suit, while admitting he may have the title wrong. Correcting himself on the fly is typical of the show. Going through the Shrinking cast, he talks himself in circles trying to place one actor's earlier roles, and elsewhere he flatly admits he is bad with names. Anime gets a night of its own. 'Episode 305: Nerd Night' begins with a Mario Day greeting and a quick impression. He admits his picks lean mainstream and praises MAPPA's animation on Hell's Paradise. His own life sits right next to the recommendations. He mentions a trip to Maryland, a niece's engagement party he calls a proud-uncle moment, and going to the gym five or six days a week to get back in shape for tennis. He says his family's health history is why he takes that seriously. An International Women's Month sign-off becomes a thank-you to the strong women in his life. Not every episode is light, though, and he warns at the start that talking about a documentary on real murders will be a downer. The language throughout is loose and uncensored. Most episodes end with a list of where to find the show and the same parting advice: don't do anything he wouldn't do.
Made for: Suits a listener who wants casual, unfiltered talk about current TV, film and anime from someone who watches widely and admits his tastes run mainstream. It also suits anyone who doesn't mind personal tangents and strong language.
What sets it apart: Andrew Crews mixes his own life into the pop-culture talk, so a Peaky Blinders rave can sit next to gym updates, family news and a Mario Day greeting. His honest, self-correcting delivery holds a range that runs from the Oscars to anime to a Christmas slasher.
