Customer Reviews
Great show!!
I appreciate the unfiltered disdain for landlords and gentrification and NY Times and yuppies and hipsters and yipsters (yuppie/hipsters)
More Marxist than thou
This show has great potential but the presenters get caught in vortex of anxiety about whether they are leftist enough. It’s a occasionally a relevant question but don’t let it get in the way of actual thinking.
