  • Super original….

    Another self deprecating “I’m a white male so I’m a terrible person”. The lack of intelligence is strong here. One episode was enough to say this is a no go!

  • Another podcast rehashing full movie plots instead of offering actual reviews

    ANOTHER podcast that basically spends time rehashing the entire plot of the main movie being discussed. I can’t even begin to fathom how so many people end up rating these podcasts as 5-star listening experiences. The hosts are okay, fairly amusing, but I just wish they weren’t adding to the massive pile of “movie regurgitation” podcasts that could already outnumber the stars in our universe.
