Customer Reviews
This is a troll podcast
This podcast is an act of performative absurdism. They pick a subject with a cult following and then proceed to discuss it while mispronouncing, misremembering, and generally misrepresenting it. I like where they’re coming from, as I have an goofy sense of humor and I like the idea of people listening to this thinking it’s real and blowing their lids listening to the hosts be complete fools. However, two stars because they’re flat out not funny and because I want people to know that this isn’t the place to find good content but rather a waste of time.
Too much esoteric banter
If you’re going to ruin heroes you should just get into it rather than trying to ruin your show too.
Aight
I’m not sure who these guys pissedOff to get all of the bad reviews but I have a feeling they aren’t organic.
