“Love this format for discussing pop culture! The guests are insightful and provide diverse viewpoints which keeps it engaging. The episodes covering the Oscars were especially excellent.

“Love this podcast in general and listening to this particular episode, I was struck by the fact that no one mentioned that research released this year shows drinking any alcohol is bad for your health. GenZ is tuned in. They grew up with the internet after all. As a parent of a GenZ I can attest...”Read full review »

Out of touch for a show about pop culture

“This show is ok to leave in the background while doing chores on but could value from having a few younger hosts (at least 2). The takes are often out of touch and miss the mark on what’s going. If you use this to catch up, it’s ok.”
