Very insightful
Leaves others in the dust. Book reviews alone are amazing. Was reading Hound of the Baskervilles to my son and then you reviewed it. Incredible. Kirn’s penetrating insights on The Fall were nothing short of superb!
Walter is informed & thoughtful; Matt is Myopic & eager to smear Trump ( not a lot of opportunities) but you see he’s eager to do it. I have listened for years & your “naked waste of time” on the 30min broadcasts are cheap & beneath you Walter- don’t be Matt, deliver the Info.
Matt how stupid is Walter Kim? I know you felt you needed a right wing partner in your grift but this idiot?
Love this show. Is the paywall gone? Such cool, clever guys. Both have lived amazingly textured lives. And their political instincts are unsurpassed. Even Megyn, Tucker, et al aren’t this savvy. I’ve never listened without laughing at loud at their clever wit. Thank you gentlemen.
