    Esmeralda is so uninteresed. Sorry but it sounds like your co-host at the end of each podcast is so bored or at the least not at all up to speed to pop culture like Nick is, which makes for awkwardness. Also, for the good of mankind, please have your movie reviewers review popular mainstream movies people actually watch instead of movies that played for a day at a festival.

  • Stop with the Effin’ Jingles!

    The show opener is good, but too many jungles is a bad thing especially when the jingles go on and on and on. Maybe a few bars that match the show opener, to establish continuity between segments or guests. Even 5 seconds is painfully too long and wack-a-doodle..
