Customer Reviews
Informative, Entertaining and Diverse
I love listening to this podcast. They are great at balancing news and fun. But my favorite thing about the podcast is how they care about diversity. They don't just report on the main stream "white washed" Hollywood stories, but actually report on books, movies and TV shows that have diverse writing and characters. Keep up the great work ladies!
Boring
I wanted to like this podcast, I really did, however I find the discussions just plain boring. It seems to always be centered around lack of diversity, which is obviously an issue. I just wish the conversations where a little more diverse. I also wish some of the hosts would brush up on some comic basics. I can’t stand when people hate things simply because they’re popular. Please stop doing that.
I Can't Do It Anymore
I used to enjoy listening. I got some good book and TV recommendations, but recently I find myself fast forwarding through all their political rants. All they ever talk about it representation and diversity. Meanwhile, the hosts are hardly diverse and almost always female. As someone who was raised in a conservative-leaning household, I somehow turned out to be an independent-thinking female that doesn't feel the need for male influences. According to them, girls grow up thinking they are inferior because of the lack of women in leading roles. I'm sorry but if children are relying on movies for role models, then something is wrong. Movies aren't real. Also they say more women need to be directing superhero movies but men aren't allowed to direct female led movies. It just gets so frustrating.
I'm going to take a few months off this podcast. Maybe if they start letting go of all the political nonsense, I'll start watching. They want everything to have a political message. Well sorry but not everyone thinks the same as you.
