“But really, please shut up.
I just wanted to hear someone else’s opinion about a show that I love, and I’ve got to be honest, listening to this podcast was a mistake. Never in my history of listening to podcasts have I felt that the hosts were grating until now. This whole show felt pained and uninspired with nothing constructive, which is fine for reviewers, but it bordered on the line of questioning whether or not the hosts even liked the show. While it was fun in the beginning, it’s felt like a regression, questioning the camp, the goofy bits, or what have you, and the podcast sounded like it was taking itself more seriously than it should. I’m sorry but if you want hard lore, arcs, etc., Dragula isn’t it. It’s supposed to be an amalgamation of the best parts of the genres that it taps into. It just sounds almost reverse gatekeeping listening to this podcast as if they are openly claiming ignorance towards the themes it’s trying to convey and then complaining about it. I guess this show was more fun before, but as of late the whole thing seems half, if not, under-baked. I’m so bored trying to justify Joe and Lauri with their takes. I’m taking a hiatus and will return later to give some space and listen to the pod, but honestly, the recent tone and opinions aren’t promising. Wishing the best to the pod and fans in the meantime; there’s an audience for everyone, and if this is yours, kudos uglies.”
