  • Great, except for hosts watching episodes ahead..

    Very annoying that one of the hosts watched the entire season an episode ahead. Why would he do that? Knowing you are going to host a podcast you’d think you’d want to watch it fresh with everyone else so you can give a fresh reaction, one of the hosts do do this while the other continues watching ahead thus not being able to give an authentic reaction. Ruined it for me.

Sadly, this ruins what should be a fun podcast about a great show. I chose to stop listening due to the excessiv... more
