  • Don’t change a thing.

    Love every episode, even the ones of movies I haven’t seen. It’s always great when Mallory or Van or Sean joins in. The Ringer pop culture pods have done so much for my workday/commute. Thanks!

  • Unsubscribed

    Used to love The Rewatchables and All Ringer content but as an Argentinian / Cuban American I had to unsubscribe due to Van Lathan being given a platform to continuously spread hate towards Latin Americans with his rhetoric. Making Latins in this country less safe and ostracized and perpetuating vile narratives.

  • Good Takes Usually Except

    I enjoy this pod, but it seriously needs to get off of the jocks of the following: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Matt Damon. Tom Hanks’ run in the 90s is great but pales compared to Tom Cruise and Kevin Costner career longevities; Sandra Bullock and Cameron Diaz have had FAR superior filmographies and made more than just five good movie each (re:Robert’s); Ben Affleck’s career outshines Damon’s by a mile.
