    #239: AppleTV+ Has a Secret Vintage in "Drops of God" (with Andrew Dyer)

Smart streaming tv content reviews

Listening to Craig’s takes on many different genres, and across all platforms has really helped me to find new shows or movies worth giving a shot. In a time where there’s just so much to watch but little time to consume it, I really value the service Craig is providing. His take on many shows/movies have proven to be right on the money for myself. Thank you Craig and all your podcast guests🙏🏽 I first heard of you on Ben & Woods so keep those Fridays coming and Let’s Go Sockers!!!⚽️
