“I enjoyed Lorehounds in the past but I’ve now unsubscribed from their feed due to the casual spoiler dropped in the latest episode on Shogun.
If this was merely carelessness I might give them a pass. But what made my blood boil was how delighted the co-host was in delivering the news that a...”Read full review »

“But please make sure your facts are accurate. You misname showrunners, actors, don’t bother trying to learn how to pronounce names or words correctly, especially in a show so steeped in culture such as True Detective:North Country. How many retractions and corrections do you end up posting after...”Read full review »

“These guys are good. But it is mandatory to skip the first 30 minutes of every episode. They go on and on and on and on about why they have screeners, how they have screeners, what having screeners mean, what that means for the show. And John I’m fairly certain doesn’t like tv. He shows almost...”Read full review »

From Star Wars to Asimov I've...”Read full review »

“Love all the podcasts but especially this combo doing Secret Invasion. As to Varra not recognizing Gaia - even Talos didn’t know that was his daughter until she said so. This must be a new(ish) face since they started locking people up in a nuclear plant. I doubt Varra goes there as she’s deep...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed the coverage of Lord Of The Rings content. But when they covered The Last of Us on HBO, they started spoiling unrelated shows left and right. They spoiled the end of I Am Legend for Pete’s sake. I unsubscribed at that point.”
