  • Why?

    Why is there already a review for ep 8 of Gen V S2 involved in a recap for ep 6&7 when normal viewers haven’t even seen it yet? Just checked the app and there’s a full 24 hours until the finale. This was posted way too early

  • Incredible

    Joelle really outdoes herself with the most brain dead takes. When she’s fully featured in an episode, really drags it down. A pox on this podcast.

  • Fun listening

    Started listening to them because they were following Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series. Sounds like they really have a fun time, and yet are very knowledgeable about some of the more obscure minutia of both the author and the television production. They have provided me quite a few belly laughs with their recaps.
