  • Lexi takes a star away

    Love Grubb, but every time Lexi is on the show you knows there’s going to be at least 20 minutes of “let’s bash Xbox.”

  • Tired

    I love Jeff and Giant Bomb. This show is fine. Lately though, analysis has just been that CEOs are bad, AI is bad, Microsoft is bad. This may be true, but when every topic comes back to these points, the show gets tired fast, especially when the topic is irrelevant to these three things. I would prefer a more diverse rotation of guests instead of the same handful that just share Jeff’s opinion.

  • Radical political drivel

    Radical political ideology has destroyed this show. They seem to hate the USA like most radicals. Show is utter rubbish as is their inane attitude.

  • A lot of ads and shallow analysis

    Since giant bomb went independent, the ads rack up - for casinos, scams, and other unethical businesses.

    On top of this, the news analysis seems less deep than ever. “Gamers are dumb” and “CEO’s are dumb” seems to be the takeaway over and over again. I miss when Grubb talked more about the industry and motivations on a level that I would have never considered. He’s a smart guy but I feel like this show went on autopilot.
