  • I can’t wait for the season 2 Buffy deep dive

    I don’t always watch the shows you all watch - so sometimes I go weeks without listening. And I realized I’m really excited for the second season recap/deep dive of Buffy.

  • The Best Around

    This podcast is fantastic - I have watched things they cover just to listen. Some other comments have said Mallory’s laughter is a bit much. To them I say, 1) do you hate genuine joy?! If not, 2) give it some time, it might grow on you! And if that fails, 3) reassess your answer to number 1!

  • Old Bay Saves Lives

    As an Alien-loving Ruben from Maryland, I’ve never felt more seen than when Mallory requested Old Bay seasoning be poured directly into her bloodstream in the event she is overcome by a facehugger.

    Endlessly entertaining, well-researched, and passionate. Keep up the great work, House of R!

  • For those who enjoy friendship and fandom

    I honestly love this podcast for 2 big reasons. Fandom and friendship. I love being a fan of my favorite shows, flaws and all. I love how much they get into what they watch, they get into all the fun details and yet give themselves permission to laugh a little at the missteps that media takes from time to time. But never in a way that feels like they are punching down. Love me a deep dive! Also I just love their friendship, I love how much they love each other and laugh at and with each other. A... more
