  • Great podcast spoilt by the host.

    A great podcast spoilt by the host’s inability to not shout and cut off his guests/co-hosts. Was delighted to discover this podcast after seeing Weapons and enjoyed that episode (maybe the host was absent that week??). Afterward I went to The Innkeepers but had to stop after halfway through. He kept cutting off the lady guest with his, ‘jokes’ and specious observations (and the irony of him blasting the character of Alex in that movie whilst displaying the same chauvinism as the character by spe... more

  • Just can’t.

    I’d like to like this podcast. The hosts do seem to know their stuff. But Joshua Griffey is so overbearing that he just gets in the way. Enough with the shouting and the forced laughter. Just talk, guys. And let each other finish a sentence every once in a while.

  • Could be good but please….

    Stop talking over each other! It feels more like a battle than a conversation and one guy can never finish his points.
