  • Enjoying the Return

    I have to admit that I only listened to this Podcast for Ted Lasso and rediscovered it with the return of TL. I love the insightful discussion about the show, criticisms and deeper discussions, not just the usual fans saying how much they loved everything. I might have to watch some others shows you’ve discussed as I enjoy your perspective so much.

    And might I also suggest some reviews of BBQ side dishes on BBQ with the Boss. ;)

  • When I want a Series-based podcast, I look here first

    Always entertaining!The way you go back over a show scene by scene, line by line is wonderfully thorough. For the love of god, please group your episodes by series in some way. Searching through a sea of Ted Lasso and Silo for House of the Dragon is maddening. Love y’all! :)

  • I appreciate & enjoy these guys!

    I came for Severance several(?) years ago…and stayed for Black Rabbit, PLURIBUS and Fallout. Always happy to find these old friends covering shows I’m watching!

    Update: Back for more with the rewatch of The Expanse. Watched this series the first time it came out and rank it as one of the TOP Sci-fi shows ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you for encouraging me to rewatch this series by doing this pod series on it! So much more to discover about The Expanse through your excellent discussion!!
