- Mediocre
I gave this podcast a chance and it’s good. Not gonna listen anymore though. Yet, why do they talk as if they are reading from a script? It seems like they are talking from beat to beat.

You’ve gotta leave your jaded pessimism out of everyone’s escapism. These hosts might just be tired of doing this.
Apple Podcasts2Nate RootedUnited States3 months ago - Welcome back Stewart
I hang on Stewart’s every word. Of the three, no matter who is critiquing, his opinion is the most like a critic- educated, no favoritism, no freebies. That being said, the interplay between hosts is integral. Listened to hundreds of podcasts since their inception, this is the ONLY ONE that’s lasted the test of time.
