I’ll start off by saying that if this podcast puts out an episode on a show/movie I’m interested in, I almost always listen to it and I usually enjoy it. The hosts are engaging and pleasant and the guests they have are usually so as well.
But that’s kind of related to why I’d say the show is OK, but not great. It’s usually a pleasant discussion of a work of media, and by pleasant I don’t mean that they never say anything critical of that media, because they do. But I feel like in many episodes the criticisms are rote and obligatory, and they don’t really go very in-depth with them. That’s probably difficult when you’re talking about something new every week, but it just seems like there’s something lacking.
And also, it’s called Snark Squad, but I would expect more snark than there usually is if it’s part of the title.
All in all, this is a pretty good show that I will listen to in a pinch if I don’t have anything else. Not the best, but very far from the worst. I’ll listen to this over a low-effort celebrity podcast any day.
