I’d been a follower of this show since 2018, and really missed it when it during its hiatus. I especially appreciated it during Covid when we were all probably binging a little too much. I’m always about a week behind since I like to see what they are watching, then circle back for the recaps. I wouldn’t have nearly as much to watch without them.
excellent show thank you
Informative
Depend on this show to help decide what I will spend my time watching. I find Craig’s opinions pretty much match what I like to watch. Looking forward to hearing more from Chris.
Love the show and glad it's back, but would be much better if you added more details to the show notes. Better clarifying which episodes of the shows you are talking about and time stamps for each segment would be helpful! Keep up the good work!
