Double Toasted

Double Toasted is an entertainment website based in Austin, Texas. The site hosts weekly podcasts covering current events, pop culture, movie reviews and video games.
History.
After the closure of Spill.com in 2013, Korey Coleman was encouraged by friends and fans to create a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new home for his content.
The original goal was set at $30,000. During the campaign, Coleman and Martin Thomas continued to podcast and update fans on the growing total. On the last night, they held a 24-hour live stream with guests and fans stopping by for support. At the end of the stream, the final amount given was $133,860.
As a result, doubletoasted.com was created, and launched on July 2, 2014.
On October 17, 2019, in a video posted on the site's YouTube page, it was announced that Double Toasted would move to Twitch in November, in a deal that would have the site's main shows move to the platform, with the exception of other content, that would continue to be on the site.
Podcasts and segments.
Unlike Spill.com, Double Toasted features both audio and video for every show. Since the site's launch in July 2014, there have been several podcasts started - each with a different cast.
The Sunday Service.
Korey Coleman and Martin Thomas sit down for some free-form conversation, the weekend box office, a recap of the week's highlighted stories, and take emails and calls from the audience.
The show occasionally features interviews and appearances from members of the community, a.k.a. 'Toasties'.
Notable guests include:
What Up, Son!
Korey Coleman, Oz Greene Jr., who skypes from New York, and Korey's wife, Miss Mia, host this segment. The three talk about the "Free Form Foolishness" in the world and diverge into a variety of topics mixed with casual conversation. The show was initially an audio-only show, but has since moved to video.
Notable guest:
The Weekly Roast and Toast.
Korey Coleman, Martin Thomas and (sometimes) Billy Brooks look at the latest trailers released, comment on submitted news stories of the week, followed by emails and phone calls. They host an additional segment where they review older bad movies
Notable guest:
The Movie Review Extravaganza.
Korey Coleman and Martin Thomas share their opinions on the latest releases. People have the chance to win a prize in the trivia game 'Martin gets a gold star!'. Occasionally they will bring a guest to help review the film. The show's introductory song is "Revolution World Crazy" by Panacea.
8-Bit Crumbs.
Korey Coleman and Chris Herman discuss video game news and entertainment stories, review games and movies, and answer fan questions on Double Toasted's Twitch show. They also occasionally play games.

Korey Coleman and Christian Torres talk about news in entertainment. Originally an audio only podcast with Korey and Tommy.
Rating system:
After giving their thoughts on the movie, each critic gives a rating based on how much of your time and money are worth spending on it. Each rating can have a high/low variation. The ratings are the same ones carried over from Spill.com. From highest to lowest, they are:
Once the review has been posted on the site, members of the community can give a one to five star rating, depending on what they thought of the film.
DT Interviews.
Korey also hosts interview segments separate from the other shows.
