  • Heartbroken

    So sad this trio is done. Best chemistry of all the podcasts on the ringer. Best part of my week. I can’t bring myself to listen to the last episode yet.

  • Don’t leave us!

    I am so very sad this pod was cancelled. Please come back in some way as a trio. Thank you for the laughs and thank you for introducing me to so many new movies/shows.

  • My favorite pod ever

    I can’t believe it’s over. This IS not WAS my favorite podcast. It cheered me up every time I got a notification of a new episode until now. I’ll miss you three and Carlos so much!

  • A goodbye to what feels like old friends.

    I am devastated to learn I will not be hearing my three favorite people in my podcast feed anymore. I have listened for so many years. I remember finishing a game of thrones episode and counting down to hear you all relive it with me. I have learned about so many other shows I loved from the off seasons like Letterkenny and Killing Eve. I have not called yet in 2025! Hope to see a new show from you soon. Hope this review makes it to your eyes so you know how impactful you have been.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Franchise That Deserves to Die
Q: What is one reason to stop the Jurassic franchise?
It's beyond its narrative expiration date and continually dilutes the original storytelling.
The Franchise That Deserves to Die
Q: Why do we think the Harry Potter franchise should not be continued?
Because it seems like a cash grab targeting the same audience that already enjoyed the original films.
Trial Royale: Best Spielberg Movie, Round 3—Final Round
Q: What is the best thing Steven Spielberg has produced?
Band of Brothers is my pick; it changed the way we think about HBO miniseries.
Trial Royale: Best Spielberg Movie, Round 3—Final Round
Q: What is the worst Steven Spielberg movie?
Ready Player One is a terrible movie that feels like a cynical sellout.
Trial Royale: Best Baseball Movie, Round 2—Minor Leagues
Q: What do you think about the results? How are you feeling?
I think it's defensible. I would say that The Natural's showing was maybe a little less impressive than it deserves just because of its impact—it's the reason we wouldn't have many other baseball movies without it.
