“The rapport between the hosts is nice and feels genuine! But I simply can not get past the aggravating lack of research. Let me use the last episode I listened to as an example: Bat Boy.
They start off by recounting the plot with multiple errors (ie. Dr. Parker doesn't reveal Bat Boy's parentage, Meredith does. And it doesn't happen in the last scene, it happens 2 scenes earlier). These are basic errors that could be avoided by looking at Wikipedia. The hosts seem to think it's a funny bit to recount the plot of each show from memory, but it's not only frustrating to listen to all the errors, it's disrespectful to the shows being reviewed. The errors often make the shows sound worse than they actally are.
Their main critique in the Bat Boy episode is about how the twist in the end is not foreshadowed. Again, this is full of errors.
They say Dr. Parker has no reaction to seeing Bat Boy besides disgust. But he has a huge reaction. There's a dramatic music sting, thunder, Parker says "how did you get here" with clear recognition, and then has to chug alcohol from his flask to recover from the shock. The hosts say Meredith and Parker never acknowledge the situation when they're alone, but the first thing Parker says when they're alone is "you know what this is, don't you?" which Meredith acknowledges.
My point in nitpicking this episode is that these kinds of mistakes are present across many episodes. The hosts need to give these shows the respect of at least summarizing them accurately and not basing their critiques on faulty memory. In many cases, it seems as though neither of the hosts have watched the show they're speaking about recently, and are just there to goof around.”Read full review »

“Except I haven’t been able to finish an entire episode before I’m switching apps to iMusic so I can listen to musical numbers that I haven’t listened to in forever! I think I got about 2 minutes into the Miss Saigon episode before needing to hear the rest of The Heat is On (in Saigon)! Even when...”Read full review »

“Some episodes are really good and some not so. Some has really substantive discussions about different aspects of the shows, but some are just two guys fooling around.”
