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.
