  • Part listing all their industry friends, part ‘hot’ political takes downloaded directly from Reddit.

    They barely talk about the movies some episodes, it’s more a vehicle to exhibit the classic, uninspired narcissism and self-importance that is to be expected from people connected to the movie industry. I love their political segments too, where the parameter for truth is based on whether a statement would be downvoted on Reddit or not. And if an episode is promised to have super deep analysis?

  • Awesome real podcasters

Her research, her takes, the topics/themes she notes and discusses... Always handled with care and respect for the people, lifestyles & experiences she may not be familiar with. We love a quee... more
