Reading wikis and AI out loud. Reviewing movies but can’t pronounce any characters names. What’s the point?

Absolutely love listening to this podcast. Dave and Chris are hilarious. Great fun going down VHS memory lane. Loads of memories spending loads of time and money in my local video shop.
Always a great listen. Funny and informative.
