  • Big egos without a lot to say

    Maybe I started listening to this podcast expecting the wrong thing. I thought I was going to learn a lot of behind-the-scenes info from these well-known actors and comedians but instead 90% of their show is them laughing hysterically at their own jokes and talking over one another.

She frequently starts sentences without a clear endpoint, and her two co-hosts allow her to ramble on for 3... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Super Mario Brothers LIVE! w/ Jenny Slate (Classic)
Q: How financially successful was this movie?
The panel notes the film cost around $40 million to make and grossed about $21 million, signaling a commercial disappointment despite its later cult status.
Surf Ninjas LIVE! w/ Nicole Byer, Rob Huebel, & Gil Ozeri (Classic)
Q: What did you think about the overall quality of Surf Ninjas?
The group agrees it's a mess in many ways but also has undeniable camp value that makes it entertaining to critique together.
The Avengers LIVE! w/ Tom Scharpling (Classic)
Q: What were they avenging?
The host and guests propose Ralph Fiennes' characters were seeking revenge for the murder of his parents, positioning the film's low-stakes, global-threat setup as a backdrop for personal vengeance.
Law Abiding Citizen LIVE! w/ Adam Pally
Q: What do you think about the way the script handles the moral arc of the lead?
The panel generally felt the script was strong in premise but weak in sustaining a credible moral throughline, especially for Jamie Foxx's character who ends up too likeable too quickly, which undermines the intended anti-hero tension.
Escape from L.A. LIVE! w/ D’Arcy Carden & Dan Levy (Classic)
Q: Based on what you saw, what is Snake best at between hang gliding, surfing, or basketball?
The panel generally agrees Snake is capable of all three in moments, with a stronger emphasis on the basketball sequence being surprisingly entertaining and technically impressive, even as the film's other elements drag; the consensus leans toward basketball as the most entertaining skill showcased, despite the film's broader flaws.
