Although the reviews and topics are helpful, these girls need serious help when it comes to their absurd behavior of LAUGHING at every sentence spoken by either party. PLEASE STOP CONTINUING GIGGLES AND NERVOUS LAUGHTERS. JUST…STOP IT, I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!

Love to find a great film podcast! There’s a lot of bad ones out there but I always look forward to new episodes of filmsuck
Apple Podcasts5CheckyalaterslaterUnited States2 years ago - If only
I really appreciate Eileen’s views on film, culture and politics. However, she has this way of speaking as though she’s constantly being interrupted — rushed and overemphatic — when she has all the time in the world on her own podcast, and ironically she ends up talking over her cohost. Makes it a hard listen.
