“I’ve listened on and off to the podcast over the years. Both guys have really great perspectives to contribute as far as assessing the show’s narrative, character arcs, etc, and I genuinely feel like I learn something when I listen. However, the creepy/gross sexual comments they often make about teen girl characters is a major turn off. Maybe it’s part of their “bros” branding, but as far as I can tell most of their fanbase is young women so I’m not sure who those comments are for?? It’s frustrating because I love hearing their analyses but I get so grossed out when they make an offhand creep comment that it makes it hard to listen. When they have a female guest on the show they tone it down so it’s not like they are unaware of how that stuff comes across. If they just did away with those comments completely I think the podcast would be stellar, and a much easier sell to my friends lol.”
