  • Weathered the Storm

    After a year or so, I feel like I can honestly say that this show has weathered the abrupt panel change that occurred last year (ish?) . It hasn’t all been great, and sometimes the show gets a little too silly or off track for my taste, but the vast majority of episodes are very entertaining, and I enjoy the unique perspectives being brought to the table to discuss various topics in an engaging and fun way.
