I came to Couch Buddies for their Vala/Daniel episode – seriously, I’d never heard ANYONE talk about this couple – and I stayed for the interesting in-depth conversations about movies and tv shows I’ve seen. Kia and Michelle talk about movies and shows that I’ve never had the chance to discuss with anyone else, so I love that their podcast is so thoughtful and critical and reflective, and I love that it gives me a chance to reflect, too. And I’m not even a fan of the romance genre, and because of that, I was initially unsure how I’d feel as I kept listening to the podcast past the Daniel/Vala ep, but I needn’t have worried because I ended up loving this podcast so much. They cover couples and relationships even from science fiction, fantasy, fairy tale retellings, and more, and they touch on a lot of rom-coms I grew up with and still feel fondly toward.
Also, if they haven’t yet, they should totally put the 3 hour Once Upon A Time/Glee conversation (they mentioned it in one of the early episodes) on Patreon or something.
