  • Love you two together.

    I listened to every single one of the sex and the city and just like that recaps absolutely love. I’m not a Girls girlie. I can’t. I am one of the people that listen to just the banter every week. I would love for you guys to do a RHONY. Starting at season one recap. Or just a pop culture. There’s always room

  • Five stars…

    …for one simple reason: 20th Century Women is one of my favorite movies too. So brilliant, so underrated. Also, the podcast is funny and chaotic and truly off the rails.

  • Irritating and eyeroll-inducing

    Poorly informed random blather that consistently wastes up to an hour of nonsense talking about random other stuff before getting to the actual subject of a podcast. These two apparently don’t know how to look up anything they wonder about online because they constantly acknowledge they don’t know things. Like listening to two dumb friends talk about something they don’t quite understand but have lots of opinions about .
