  • Lazy Coverage from a bad host

    If they would remove the main host, that bumbling, borderline toxic-masculine, Craig McKenzie, it would be much better as the show shines when he is not around.

Pike is clearly touched and if anything, trying to hold back his ego. And don't ge me started on the Scotman's previous comments, several times, on N... more

  • Bring back the other guys.

    I watched the pod for episode 5 and liked it and then you bring in new guys for 6 and I didn’t. Not sure these guys know what they are talking about as they are clearly contrary to most. Ironically the guys in 6 are complaining about story consistency and evolution? Physicians heal thyselves.
