    Love the concept, love the hosts, a really good listen.

    I wish they would buy a quieter mouse for the guy who clicks constantly during recording.

  • Love!

    I like all the hosts but I’m quite fond of Nicole in particular, I feel like she has well thought out view points and a great grasp on media literacy. I appreciate these types of podcasts and critiques as I’m sick of the over saturated stinky marvel market

  • Basic

    A podcast for people who strongly believe hating popular things is a personality. Lots of very forced “witty” commentary that’ll may cause you to feel second-hand embarrassment for the hosts. A bonus is very surface-level critiques, but not really about the actual movie they’re meant to be discussing. If you’re into that sort of thing, enjoy. 😬🤷‍♀️
