  • No guest too far

    Frequent guests like Will Dodson and his political comments go unchecked by host Ryan. In fact he laughs. Way to create a space for all. Unsubscribing.

  • Ok

    Ok for news about new releases but too much politics and some very annoying guests. The amount of advertising is barely tolerable lately.
