    Was looking for a podcast for

    The final season of

    Stranger Things and and Jesus Christ if you are going to cover a show take the time to know the casts names. Also, enough with the overuse of the word “cringe” just because you hear your kid say it doesn’t mean you have to

  • Best review podcast ever

    Best podcast ever. Before Thumb War, I’d just sit there alone with my thoughts, staring at the credits like I was solving the Da Vinci Code. Now I still get to ponder, but at least I can listen to you guys argue about the movies while I do it. I used to go to New Rockstars for my breakdowns. Sorry guys, but now it’s all Thumb War.
