Best podcast ever! Kelli is amazing!

Eminence Front Watcher ,

A bit of Troll-casting

PRO- Daniel is a good moderator and has the voice and is organized. The guests are knowledgeable in their respective genre and pop culture. You do hear news in pop culture that can be overlooked.

CON- You should double check their cherry picked sources and it mostly true but Daniel in particular will admittedly spin the news a bit to his favor. He also admit to being toxic especially against Disney and Marvel (which I get). I wish he would exercise some critical thinking especially when criticizes on shows, movies, games that he has not seen or own.

So take their thoughts and criticism with a grain of salt

AwfulDreams ,

Poor

Really poor. Cliche after cliche for a podcast from a bunch of boys
