    Jeez these 2 have a problem with EVERY movie!! They are just negative about everything! I've listened to a bunch but they just wear me down with all this gloomy, critical, pessimisstic attitude about every movie!! Talk about nitpicking. This isn't a movie review podcast it's a "let's just complain about everything" podcast. Pass.

    I listened to the Muriel’s Wedding episode. Apparently it’s fine and normal when men use women for sex but shallow and pathetic for a woman to be excited about their wedding day.

    Get bent, dude.
