This is a really fun and unusually intelligent show about video games. The three hosts have breezy chemistry And know their topic. I noticed a ton of reviews complaining about Jason. He does have bad opinions about horror games occasionally but a show that was just Kirk and Maddy would be boring listening. We need the spice ! Their episode on UFO50 was really dumb. In general they need someone to cover retro games bc they usually do a bad job when they cover anything retro.
Meh

Calling dialogue for something MCU dialogue is lazy criticism. The MCU did not invent levity in extreme situations in cinema for literature or anything. I think the MCU is literally fine, I like movies, but it’s gone so far the other way it’s being overrated by people who don’t even like it. James Cameron movies have quips and jokey dialogue, as did Spielberg. I’m annoyed I have to justify this with a list. The MCU’s dialogue wasn’t even specific enough to attach this ire too, a common criticism of it at the time. Times are tough and I don’t like getting old either. lol. Ugh
Bing!

What tier can I pay for to have Kirk bing in when I make mistakes, and need correction, throughout daily life? Seriously though, keep up the great work. Triple Click is something I look forward to every week.

Kirk and Maddy are great, but Jason is painful to listen to. His knack for constantly interrupting, correcting, and arguing is just too much, I can’t listen to this anymore. He’s a negative force in what should be a positive space. Kinda wish Kirk and Maddy would do their own thing
