  • Greatest Podcast

    I have never enjoyed a podcast as much as I have enjoyed watching almost every episode of this. I came over from Amazon Music so i don’t know which ones I haven’t watched so I’m going through all of them start to finish again because that’s how much I enjoy these, incredibly entertaining and I have supported their merch. Great guys keep up the great entertainment!

  • Better than dryer lint (ew)

    This podcast is better than ghouls, or like, better than if you boiled anchovies in cake batter. Thank.

  • Too much rambling off topic

    Tried listening to two episodes. On both occasions they had not even discussed the game in question after 25 minutes. There were also several occasions where one of the hosts gets very loud out of nowhere, meaning it was uncomfortable to listen to this podcast with headphones.

    Really didn’t have a good experience. Won’t be listening to further episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shadows of the Empire
Q: Did watching this make you want to play it again, and how would you rate it compared to other Star Wars games?
Nostalgia remains the strongest draw; it's a solid if late-era Star Wars title with mixed reception, and the panelists give moderate scores that acknowledge its charm but critique its dated mechanics.
Shadows of the Empire
Q: Did watching this video make you want to play this Star Wars game? Did the story work for you or was it just more of the same? And what score out of 27 stars would you give it?
The story adds some Star Wars lore but doesn't rewrite the films; it's enjoyable for fans but not essential, earning a modest score that reflects nostalgia more than groundbreaking storytelling.
Bayonetta 2
Q: And out of 27 stars, how many would you give this, you suppose?
I will give it 15 stars.
Bayonetta 2
Q: Was the story pretty good, or was it just not close?
Did the story work for me? The God references. Yeah, that's the second game in a row, I think we just talked about.
Bayonetta 2
Q: Did watching this video make you want to play as an Umbra witch?
It does kind of bother me. You need a fucking Wii U to play it. But yeah, I mean, it looks fun.
