How does this podcast have 4 stars?
It’s difficult to express how much I dislike this podcast without personally assaulting the 3 hosts. But I will try. To put it bluntly, this is a wussy boring podcast done by people who certainly care about culture but not in a meaningful way. Most topics are couched by one of the hosts saying “I haven’t seen it” then following the discussion offer their own woefully ill-informed opinion. Most of all, I dislike how they handle things they disapprove above; a sneer and a snort. It’s derogatory and insulting to fans of whatever they are snubbing their noses at.

I get the feeling that they want to express the zeitgeist, but they often seem to miss the mark. They would be...Read full review »
