    So much potential…but they can’t go 30 seconds without laughing or giggling at something. No exaggeration. It’s like listening to high schoolers. And it’s disappointing because without that, it would probably be a great podcast. There seems to be something about movie podcasts in particular that turn people into wannabe comedians or grown children.
