    A nice breezy listen for the most part but the Seinfeld episode was absolute tot. I was expecting some interesting info about the show, an interesting take but it was mostly annoying. Supposed fans giving terrible takes. Serenity now!

  • Nostalgia is brilliant but Miranda’s constant cackling gets old very quickly

    This show is almost great. If you were around in the 90s, this is nostalgia catnip.

    But the presenter’s habit of laughing after almost every sentence she says and everything her guest says is very very tedious.
