(Update: still listening in 2019!) I love this podcast! The podcasters have great camaraderie and their conversation sparkles with wit. They are at their best when bantering about their own lives, so don't mind the numerous tangents. Also, not every episode is a gem, but you'll still be entertained and still appreciate the effort these guys put out each week!
This was the first podcast I was ever a regular listener to, and I haven't missed an episode since around 2013. I enjoy listening to the guys just talking, even if I haven't seen the movie yet. But when they touch on pop culture that I've already enjoyed, I feel like their conversations help illuminate parts of the story that even I didn't pick up on.
I've been listening to this podcast for years in the official site, but only now I am rating it here, because I was lazy and am totally cured now.

For 8 years and counting I have dropped witty thoughts and analysis in casual conversations around pop culture thanks to overthinking it.
Extremely overdue review! I've been listening to these guys for 7 years - my very own Monday tradition.
iTunes classifies me as a UK resident here but I am French, and working hard on building a continental audience for Overthinking It - Allez! Écoutons tous "Les Surpenseurs"!!
PS: when is the next London trip overthinkers? Time to cross the pond again :)
