Loved the Howards End episode! Please, please cover Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and The Lord of the Rings.

Really enjoyed my first listen to this podcast

I finally saw the newest version of A Star is Born and I wanted to hear a podcast comparing the different versions, all of which I've seen., so I googled, and it gave me this podcast. The hosts also linked me to another podcast and a video that were discussing aspects of their discussion and that was really fun. It really made my travel down the rabbit hole of the internet enjoyable today. The hosts are funny and charming and insightful. I will immediately look through their back catalog to see what else they have to offer.

The best!

Jeremy and Ari have such fun chemistry. Like a dinner party with the coolest couple you know. A great idea for a podcast and awesome programming choices. I can’t wait for it to come back from hiatus!
