  • Has become unlistenable

    This podcast has become a absolute godly mess. It has become unlistenable with the screaming and the shouting and talking over each other all the time. Of all the incomparable podcasts this by far the worst.

    Moo!!!

    Show really went down hill. Doesn’t benefit from three hosts talking over each other and be off topic on unrelated shows.

  • Mostly obnoxious

    Hosts complain too much, seemingly don’t pay attention to what happened in content they are talking about, and generally don’t recap enough. Not really any fun to be had with this.

  • Love it…but

    Love this show. But Kat is so annoying. Constantly cuts the others off. Really turning me off what is a really good Star Wars podcast.
