A podcast addict ,

Our sympathies

So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I’m sure you made her very proud and she died in love. Thank you for that very difficult but heartfelt review of IF. I too am a John Krasinski fan and was planning on taking my 12 year old niece to the movie thinking it was going to be a funny, warm, feel good movie. For many reasons you articulated so well we both would have been devastated by the movie. We went to Garfield and had a silly good time which gave us the escape we needed. You are wonderful. A great son. A great podcaster. And an all around good man.

Newmusicallover ,

love it

really nice to hear criticism directly after seeing the movie

HaasCL ,

More Please!!

I like LTT best when Ronald and his guest argue about the movie! Not only is it funny but it gives me an opportunity to think about who I might lean toward in my own viewing.
Also, I love Ronald’s laugh!
