- I Am the Demo.
Not be ignored, I'm an almost-50-year-old for whom sports used to be religion, until i began really analyzing (and for a short time, writing) for film & media.
But unique to these two, Andy's Dadington sensibilities and CR's Bro-coded but well considered contributions are encyclopedic and enlightening. What's more, the combination of vulnerability and restraint with which they (especially Andy) share their worldview is much appreciated.

United States14 days ago - Too partisan
I pulled up a random episode from 2022 featuring the White Lotus and Greenwald was far too partisan and generally upset at world events it was distracting. Won’t be giving other episodes a try which is too bad since I like CR.

Apple Podcasts1Sam4241United Statesa month 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
