Customer Reviews
Entertaining if you’re from LA
I enjoyed learning about the LA punk scene from this podcast. As a true crime podcast, it missed the mark. I also wish Alan Sachs had hosted. Penelope was annoying and referenced her work and relationships far too often.
Ok?
Bunch of former Hollywood almosts and has-been’s whackin’ off their egos.
And the ads. Jesus Christ, there are WAY too many ads.
It had potential
This wasn’t the worst podcast I have listened to but it’s pretty low on my list. Extremely redundant. Way too many ads. I feel like the host reminded me of somebody reliving their glory days. The tough chick act is lame.
