  • Boring and Pretentious

    The show has good moments…unfortunately it’s not enough. The hosts are very full of themselves and their politics creep into almost every episode. I’m so sick of trying to escape the world of politics only to have them thrown out in every show.

    Many better shows out there where politics don’t play any role.
