  • Big Disappointment

    I honestly used to like this show much more. 1) They drift too far to the AMG fanboy apologist side of the spectrum making their objectivity suspect, especially during interviews w/ AMG developers. 2) Their shows have dwindled to once every month or 2, making much of what they discuss old news. And 3) during a recent podcast on the new Asgard box set, both hosts made off-hand political comments which I absolutely despise in an entertainment podcast. No thanks. There are too many other good M... more
