  • The Premise of the Show is Wrong

    Technically, a podcast focusing on the past episodes and seasons won’t be able to address the concept of a current showing still being funny.

  • Solid content, terrible delivery

    Been a fan of Nick's since the '90s. Love his movie reviews and pop culture discussions. That said, this podcast is so amateurish, it's almost unlistenable. Why? While Nick does his homework, he can't make it thru an episode without a ridiculous amount of stammering beyond his usual "ums" and "ahs." There's no way he practices reading whatever notes he has prior to recording an episode. If you're not going to practice whatever you're going to share, at least go in and edit out the "ums" and "ahs... more

  • Even out that volume please

    The clips are much louder than the host, the mismatch was so jarring I had to turn it off. Decently enjoyable content if you follow SNL.
