- It’s fine…
Trying to finish the Wire for the first time after several aborted attempts. I was looking for an insightful and entertaining post-show analysis pod, like Bald Move does, but they haven’t yet done a Wire companion. Though Van’s analysis is always perceptive, there’s a lot of spoilers of subsequent seasons and plot points, which I found frustrating. Jemelle Hill only states obvious things, and she’s clearly out of her element here. There are also a lot of digressions that some might enjoy but I f... more

Van could cut half the words out of his stories and nothing would be loss.

Jamelle’s middle school quality analysis was brutal to listen to.

I'm on my 4th rewatch and found this podcast and thought cool this will be fun. While the discussion about the episodes are good it often becomes overshadowed by the host constantly bringing in racism at times more than the actual topic. I get it, I realize everything wrong in the world is "whitey's" fault. At times it seems like there is more of an agenda here than entertainment of a great show.
Apple Podcasts1GatorGuy71United Statesa year ago - TOO MANY SPOILERS
I’ve watched The Wire many times and even for me it’s too many spoilers (many from Van Latha ). Listening to “The Cost” and not only does Van feel the need to over explain an obvious point about about character death’s, but the dude goes on to give needless examples involving 2 major deaths in 2 of the other biggest shows in TV history, needlessly spoiling up to 3 potential series in a since segment of an episode. My god, Van. Shame on you brother, SHAME. SMFH.
