  • “Like…like…like…….like”

    I don’t get it. David and his wife are obviously both highly intelligent people, and they graduated from prestigious universities. How is it that they have so comfortably fallen into the lazy pattern of dropping in “like” as a filler word in nearly every sentence (often several times in a sentence)? Kim Renfro does it too on Cast of Kings. It’s very annoying. I understand that language changes, but that’s a lame defense to what is nothing more than a distracting, unnecessary verbal tic.

  • More please

    One of the ones here! Think there are more of us than you realize. Would have loved more episodes. The Javen phone booth argument deserved a much deeper dive!

  • Please more please!

    My husband and I live for these episodes. He’s already a big fan of The Filmcast. Listening to this is so refreshing especially because Joy is so miffed by what happens. Please come back next season. We have our own podcast and we know how much work it is. We appreciate your humor, your candor, and your entertainment.

The Golden Bachelor Ep 4 - The Game of Love

Love Is Blind Season 6 Reunion - Human Wreckage in the Netflix Money Machine
Q: What did you think of this reunion, Joy?
I was initially quite nervous... it turns out, I think it largely earned that runtime and it's partly due to the hosting skills of the Lachés.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast

What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Timely recaps and commentary on reality television, especially dating and relationship series, combine episode-by-episode reactions with close attention to editing, casting, production choices, and the social ideas beneath the drama.
