Starting to exhaust me...
I'm a long-time listener who is beginning to grow weary with the show, and I feel compelled to weigh in since I'm seeing a lot of my own complaints echoed in the other reviews. I don't want to unsubscribe -- I think I would "miss" them each week! -- but I also want them to do better, so here's my opinion: They often cover stories I'm already familiar with and then just offer a predictable SJW take on it - Yawn. I find myself waiting for them to consider the gray areas, to consider the nuance of a situation - Sometimes they do, but most of the time they don't. I agree that the show used to be better. And I don't want to hate on Courtney, but at least once per episode (but usually more often than that), Courtney says something way too loudly, or too forcefully, or just something that is way over the line into SJW territory for me, and I lean Left. It feels disingenuous, like she just wants to portray an image. I wish she would calm down a bit, and I wish as a group (when they are actually all together), could more frequently discuss all sides of a story instead of the same old boring SJW take. Also, I fast forward through all of the Marvel, Star Wars, gaming conversation. I know they're all immersed in those worlds, but they often devote much more time to those topics in any given episode than anything else. I'll keep listening for now, but not sure I would recommend this podcast to anyone else.Read full review »
