  • Angels & Devils

    Season 9 starts off with a lot to cover. With the angels falling, it opens up another world to explore. The writers must have had fun deciding if the angels would do good or be bad. Great interviews with Alaina & Misha & Tahmoh. Luv hearing their stories. 😊

  • You learn and you laugh.

    I’m loving all the details. They’re making our rewatch even better. Being insiders and first time viewers is a great combination. And you can’t beat the Rich and Rob vibe (recommended for your post–con blues).

  • Fun facts and interesting interviews

    I’m catching up on this podcast and have started season four now. It’s clear the hosts are good friends and their giggles are contagious. There’s something wrong with Rich but in a fun way. Rob seems to be allergic to punctuation. I’ve been surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed learning about things like hair and makeup and timing shots around the weather. The guests have all been fun and interesting. I look forward to all the rest of the seasons reviewed.

    For so many years I’ve watched Cutis Armstrong in movies and tv. What a wonderful character actor he is. I have to admit I found Metatron very annoying, but that’s because Curtis is so good at what he does! I’m looking forward to more interviews with him. Thanks 😊
