    Episode 92: Malignant

    Ruin My Life is back -- again! For real, this time! Probably! The journey to 100 episodes continues with an episode that was recorded literally a year ago, how is that possible? Wow. Not a great feeling. Anyway: in this episode, Jason introduces Kelsey to James Wan's 2021 masterpiece, MALIGNANT. But, more importantly, he introduces her to a lovable little scamp named Gabriel.

    Episode 91: Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar (w/ Sarah Sheppard)

    Yes! We sometimes make a podcast! This episode was supposed to be the first of a few released in 2022, but sometimes life happens and you don't make a podcast for two years. So enjoy this podcast we recorded nearly a year ago about a movie that most definitely changed our lives. Thanks for still listening.

Ohio State Butt Guy ,

Friendly Show!

The show is a little insidery, but that works for me because I have a lot of the same pop culture background as the hosts. I find it charming when people name check Griffin McElroy, but I could see how that might alienate your average joe listener. I can tell though that the people on the show are good friends and it shines on this cast! Check it out!

Umm like, like, like umm this podcast a dumpsterfire.

I tried giving this podcast a chance but it’s hard to listen to. Neither of these two people are like-able or particularly articulate. It’s like listening to two teenage girls at a slumber party.

Both of these people are NPCs in every sense of the meme, with the depth of a puddle and the intelligence of squirrel.

The massive overuse of “umm” and “like”, combined with the uptalk, dead air and giggling, are bad enough. It’s very irritating on the surface, underneath it’s a sign of their lack of intelligence and creativity.

Then there’s the wingey use of “Problematic”. You sound ridiculous. Most of all, it takes them forever to articulate the most basic points.

If you enjoy listening to judgey, irritating, psuedointellectuals, you might want to check this podcast out.

The Bo Burnham podcast, should have been around 20 minutes long, had they done any prep and cut out all the complete trash.

Love means never having to say your sorry

But maybe sometimes you should. These group has things they love and want to share, but it doesn't always work out the way you think. Delightful and delirious all in one measure.
