I stumbled upon this podcast when I NEEDED to discuss Moonlight Chicken and had no one IRL who watched it. So glad I did! Nini and Ben are super smart, knowledgeable, and very funny. I learn something with every listen. One suggestion: it would be great if some of the episode titles and/or descriptions contained the names of the shows you’re discussing so when listeners watch something and want to hear your thoughts they can find the right episode easily. Love this podcast and highly recommend!
