  • Oh no! Goodbye?

    Listening since episode one. I’ve never missed a minute. Always looked forward to it. Adnan and all the producers I will truly miss them. I love this show! I have since the beginning and I’ll miss it. You’ve helped me find new and old movies alike. You have read my reviews on your show before and it was cool to hear adnan was reading them and I hope he reads this one because I think that he is the BEST!!! 🍁🍁🍁🍁

  • Sad day

    Can’t believe this one is ending. Draft Kings Network/Dan Lebatard legacy may well be taking a great product, trying to ruin it through baffling production decisions, and then finally killing it. Hopefully they find a way to do Adnan right, but, given their elevation of mediocre talent these days, I won’t be counting on it.
