My best friend and I lost our minds using Yacine TV LIVE- YOUTUBE during the World Cup qualifier; we mirrored it to YouTube chat and spammed emojis every time our team attacked. check@: https://yacinedl.com/

Love this podcast! The deep dives and creator interviews always give me a fresh perspective on the shows I’m watching. I usually listen while working or doing small tasks—sometimes even while using tools like my favorite calculator at https://lacalculadaradealicia.es/ to stay on top of daily stuff. Can’t wait for the next episode!

Bill, I pray you see this. Charles and Vann have to go. Unlistenable!! I tried to listen to a few episodes about an amazing show “the Last of Us”, and I had to turn it off early 3 times. From Vann blathering on endlessly about the Super Bowl and Patrick Mahomes to Charles talking like he’s fucking Vanilla Ice, these 2 are ruining what should be one of your best podcasts! Please, show us some mercy and put these 2 clowns out of work. The world always needs more road flaggers!

love this podcast about Westworld. One improvement I'd suggest, replace the guy who never seems to get it, with someone who can add to the show. He's a downer....
