  • Weird Dawson hatred

    This is my first rewatch of my fav show as a teen. I too am the same age as the characters were at the time so I wanted to find a podcast to add to my rewatch. I really liked the first few podcasts but as I started to get into season 2 this podcast became unbearable to listen to.

  • Interesting perspectives

    As a Brit, I appreciate some of these deep dives that explore US culture and context.

  • Fun but exasperating

    How did you like this show if you hated Dawson so much? Geez. And Jen can do no wrong. I enjoy this podcast when the hosts enjoying the show for what it is, a troubled teen drama, but the laying the entirety of 2020 viewpoints at Dawson is annoying. You say that “Dawson is rich” so many times. Check your own shaming of a teen boy who was born into a middle class home.
