  • Good discussions

    Slightly off topic, in the most recent episode you guys talk about analog clocks and cursive not being taught in schools anymore and I hand to say something lol. Those are definitely still taught in schools today. I’m sure it varies as to grade, but in public schools at least, analog clock reading is taught starting in 2nd or 3rd grade. Cursive is also taught staring at about 2nd grade. Sorry I had to say something because I keep randomly hearing people say those things aren’t taught anymore. I... more

  • Much of the same

    Same old Xander Bashing … every podcast does these days. So it’s very much a mainstream group think. If they are gonna bash a main Character it needs to be otherwise entertaining and thoughtful discussion. It isn’t.

  • Just one person’s opinion

    I was truly excited for this rewatch podcast when it started and for most podcast I am not one to leave a review but after the Gingerbread episode, I really don’t want to hear anymore. They continuously say it is not political but it is. I was listening to enjoy a show that was an escape when I was younger and instead each show is 40 minutes of what the Buffy episode is about and the other 1 hour and 1/2 to 2 hours is political and social rants. I am a black female, who is also educated, and ... more
