  • June is sus

    June’s relationship with racist Jessica St Claire is no good. Otherwise live show energy better than the studio. Wish it was more clowning on bad movies and not just pedantry and Paul’s proclivities.

  • Sh, mommy has to watch her stories.

    I love this podcast so much and the “Love on the Leash” episode has everything I love about it. Always so funny and then hearing the hosts crack up in disbelief around what they’re is just about the best thing ever spotlighting, once again, the titular and unending question: How did this get made? Five stars.

  • Let’s go Live!

    They no longer record in studio. Their live shows are not interesting, are loud, and, most of all, are so disconnected from what listeners actually want eg an actual conversation

  • Really Love The Audience Participation!

    Love this podcast! It takes movies I may never have watched or considered and gives them. Really appreciate how inclusive and positive they are when considering these films.

    Please don’t take away audience voting I fear that happening IRL. I really appreciate you watching LOEG as it holds the dubious honor of being the only movie I paid for then walked out on in the theater. The only other being The Covenant(2006) when then gave out free tickets.
