Customer Reviews
Prince Episode
The Prince episode was good but not perfect and whist the panel are hilarious it can get quite simplistic and shallow sometimes with their deconstruction of him. Artists are all complex and they don't deserve a cancel culture vive to their legacy. I still enjoyed it!
disturbed show
Any person on any one day can achieve something genius and evil and only they will know the difference. To be called a genius by one, there is someone else that had to pay for it. I felt disturbed after two episodes and stopped.
Can’t listen anymore
Made it too the Elvis episode, unfortunately can’t listen anymore. How you can call Whitney a genius and Elvis evil is beyond me. Far too biased for me
