- “Can Paul stop mansplaining?”
Lolol yes….Paul is the problem….you’re sexist if you think otherwise. I see how none of these reviews are helpful, so I thought I’d post. Great show, I love Paul and Amy, the show is a good time.

United Statesa month ago - Almost tolerable
This podcast would be awesome if Amy could find joy in anything at all
Apple Podcasts1$lug3United Statesa month ago - Poor commentary
Honestly the commentary is not insightful or interesting.
Many times they just say blatantly wrong stuff as fact.
It makes sense that Amy is a “film critic” with some of the irrelevant opinions she spouts on here.
Apple Podcasts1Zduke11United Statesa month ago - 1-hour of movie blah blah
I want to like this podcast so much because I love movies & I can tell Paul does too but I don’t understand how they can talk for an hour without actually saying anything interesting about the movies they cover 😂🙈
Apple Podcasts1JPEG127United States2 months ago - Can Paul Stop Mansplaining?
I’ve listened to this from the beginning and aside from Amy’s irritating mispronunciations, I like it. But when I take a break from it, it’s always because I’m tired of Paul’s lecturing. There are times when I get to uncomfortable listening to Paul hector Amy about his POV. I don’t always agree with Amy (though she is right about Spielberg’s War of the Worlds) but she at least listens (perhaps too much) to Paul.
