Heartfelt, Thoughtful, Geniune

I am SO happy I found House of R’s new solo feed (I thought they were on a break for Jo’s new book release). This pod is amazing, Mal and Jo’s DEEEEP dives on movies and shows include such obvious and shameless passion and appreciation for the source material. Their pods include so much thoughtfulness and positivity always leave me with more appreciation for the content they cover. Their reviews of The Last of Us and Rings of Power are two of my favs, on top of everything Marvel. Would recommend 100%!!
