  • Cry Baby Rocha

    Rocha continues to be a complete man baby about anything that isn’t his opinion. This man has three great shows and he is poisoning all of them. He’ll say at the end of each show to “let us know what you think, we’d love to hear from you.” What he doesn’t tell you is that if you post anything that opposes what he thinks then he’ll just insult you and tell you to shove things up your ***.

  • Stopped listening because of the politics.

    I really like this show. The constant need to discuss politics though has put me off. It’s not valid or relevant - even though they insist it is relevant. I agree with their politics but am done listening because if I wanted politics I would subscribe to a political podcast. Movie and Hollywood gossip is an escape from politics and media bias. Sorry guys…

    I noticed recently the ads are dropping in the middle of segments.

  • Random Ads

    One of my favorite podcasts until about three weeks ago when they started adding in random adds every five minutes throughout the show making it almost unlistenable. No problem with ads, but be reasonable and edit them in professionally.
