  • Good podcast

    I was happy to find this podcast because I love ER! It’s my favorite show of all time. Please say Noah Wyle’s name correct! It’s so annoying that his name is mispronounced. Otherwise, a good podcast.

And they are just straight up mean toward day players who don’t have very much in the way of acting credits. ... more

  • Uninteresting

    This podcast lacks any joy between the cohosts and it doesn’t provide any interesting facts or analysis. It gives no deeper insights on the characters and is essentially a recap of each episode by people who nitpick every detail.
