  • Has gotten annoying

    This show used to be good, but it’s devolved into 90% repetitive inside jokes yelled repeatedly into the microphone.

    You could literally have a bingo card or drinking game for the tired jokes the tell on every single episode. And anyone who does a Pacino in heat impression for the 1 millionth time should be banned from the show forever.

    Depending on who is on the show, I may listen even if I haven’t seen the movie. If Van o... more
