  • Good but limited

    Great show, really different and honest look at the show, but most of their recap episodes are behind a paywall. If you like it, the patreon is not expensive.

  • Save yourselves.

    The hosts just talks over each other arguing about trivial things for the sake of arguing. Doesn’t seem like they’re friends and actually like each other. They just want to be right. Devin in particular is horrible at this. He will not let anything go. And many times he is the one who is wrong. They don’t know their stats and don’t know their challenge history. They get information about past challenges wrong all the time. They even get facts from the episode they just watched and are recapping... more

  • I’m confused

    I like the people on this podcast, but it seems like they just talk about how bad the episode is every week. Why do a podcast on a show you dislike? The show will never be what it was 10 years ago, but if you just quell your expectations a bit, you can enjoy it more or just don’t watch it
