United States20 days ago - Pretentious
Too little talk about actual series and too much about the industry. Also too much American football references for an European like myself.. Have really given this podcast a try for a couple of years but unsubscribing now

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).
