  • Small note -

    Appreciate the review of Anora and the connections to pretty woman but for the LOVE of god how many times can you say “yeah, yeah , yeah”or “yes” in a row? Especially when the ideas seems to be conflicting at the moment and the other podcaster isn’t receiving the “yeah” to her point and feels misunderstood. Sorry to nitpick ladies but it’s a bit jarring as a listener

    Good content but hard to listen to when you keep saying “yeah” while the other is talking

  • weird takes…

    started listening bc i wanted a podcast to recap Tell Me Lies with. listen, i know we can’t all be great at analyzing tv dramas, but these ladies have some seriously strange takes. the idea that one lady keeps pushing that lydia’s brother wasn’t actually a r*pist feels deeply offensive as well as plain ignorant considering what we SAW ON THE SHOW. do better, because a theory like that feels nasty towards women and all survivors.

    I had my volume in my car up all the way to near these ladies. I’m referencing the “Tell Me Lies Bananna” episode.

    Too much of a whisper. Please speak into mic. Otherwise, fun podcast!
