- Jokester/egghead duo
This podcast duo are gold: the jokester and the egghead, chris snd andy, and the insights are worth a fun long listen. Brilliant and funny. Should teach something to your sophomoric colleagues and their inane chatter on the prestige tv podcast. This is worlds better.

CR: PLEASE follow up and do a Lioness pod with Van Lathan! Love that show but nobody’s talking about it except for a dabble from you every now and then (not surprised Andy doesn’t like it).

Amazing guys who really enjoy and break down TV in a respectful, friendly way. Take a listen; you will not be disappointed.
Apple Podcasts5brettrmUnited States2 months ago - How to Distinguish Each Host
If you are new to the pod and struggling to keep track, Andy is the one who likes Bluey, reality baking shows, half of one season of a dozen English-speaking shows…and hates literally every other piece of filmed fiction.

Too much sports talk. Also, Pluribus not in your top 10 is a crime.
