I’m cool with it! I like hearing other people talk about the dorky stuff that is happening in a movie. My husband and I talk through a whole movie. It’s terrible! We making fun of
Movies too
I’m so glad I found out about this podcast! It’s a really great concept, and I love the different styles of each writer/comedian.
It’s such a fun listen!!
I liked this at first but the readers/novelizers harp on the same “joke” or satire element over and over again. Gets old really fast.
The discussion about the slugs was rediculous. Don’t even want to listen to another second.
I love this podcast, basically feels like a very different vibe each week depending on the comics so I love not knowing what I’m gonna get, but it’s basically always hilarious.
