Best deep dives in the biz

Mallory and Joanna analyze shows in a way that reminds me of the best parts of an English Lit class. I get a burst of joy when they drop a new episode. Side note: My 10 year old recently looked at the logo and asked, “Why are you always listening to House of RAISINS?” (In her mind, that’s what R naturally stands for.)

was it in CELL week for reviews? it's the only explanation I can think of for the reviews they get hung up on words being used as opposed to the thoughts being presented.
mallory and Joanna are two of the more thoughtful people doing this type of review and examination
And I think it does feel more like an examination with these two, as opposed to the usual bro universe clatter
Apple Podcasts5Bahiahonda76United Statesa month ago - A little gripe.
I love this show but something that annoys me: Jo was admittedly not a GL fan before the show, didn’t really care about it or any Lantern stuff in general. It bothers me that now, when reviewing the show, she will bring up a GL source material (comic book, animated series, etc.) and talk about it like she is some expert that has been consuming the material for years. When in reality, she at most did a cursory look over the wiki or watched a YT video and presents herself as some sort of oracle. D... more

You appear to be smart and knowledgeable , but your overuse of “like” makes you unlistenable to me. You like use like over and over and like over again. It is hard to take you serious with like so much like use of like like.
