  • Bend It Like Beckham horrible guests

    I’m sort of surprised at the lack of attention any cultural aspect of the movie got with minimal understanding. I honestly really enjoyed this podcast but I was very turned off of a few of the guests this episode. It was quite frankly very disappointing and I think the first episode I couldn’t finish in full.

  • Love the new genres

    I rediscovered this podcast the other day— glad to see y’all are still going strong. The Scorsese season was a fun surprise. I could see y’all getting into David Lynch and/or Stanley Kubrick movies. Also, I was convinced you had already done the Twilight movies but that must have been a fever dream, lol.

  • It only took me five minutes of listening to realize this is the worst podcast ever made

    I would rather punch myself in the face as hard as I could for an hour straight than listen to this podcast. The hosts are intolerable and insanely obnoxious.
