Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 74 ratings
  • Podcast suffers from dumb liberal commentary

    The hosts cannot help themselves, and make stupid political quips that distract from the podcast.

  • Sure.

    I disagree with a lot of their opinions/taste, and one of the dudes seems like he doesn’t even want to be there… but quality SNL pods with hosts who are actual, knowledgeable fans are hard to come by. So I keep coming back.

  • I mean, no more

    Tapping out. Can’t take an hour plus of non stop starting every sentence with “yeah I mean, yeah yeah, I mean, yeah I mean, I mean...I mean, yeah no, yeah I mean, yeah no, yeah I mean, I mean, yeah yeah, I mean”. UPDATE 10/4/22, thought I’d give the podcast another chance with the SNL (train-wreck) season premiere. Nope. These 2 still can’t speak a sentence without an “I mean” (106 times this ep) or a “yeah”. Typical sentence… “Yeah no, I mean yeah it wasn’t a great sketch. I mean it had its mom... more

  • Delightful

    These two hosts are true nerds and are a delight to listen to each week. Even the excesses “so” “um” “yeah” don’t bother me. I’m also a sucker for the over all corny vibes of their own jokes. Good times.

  • Good, but needs more energy

    You guys do a good job of analyzing the sketches, but maybe put a little more energy into your voices. A lot of pauses, umm’s, ‘that was alright’, ‘it was pretty good’, and comments that don’t go anywhere beyond a basic I liked it/didn’t like it. Maybe highlight the best and worst sketches of the week, rather than a strict chronology. Include background info. on the writers of the sketches. Overall an enjoyable podcast, just maybe take the energy/enthusiasm up a notch.
