Perfection

If we lived in a sane and reasonable society Johnathan Holmes would already be famous, but in hopes of healing the earth I shall write this review and encourage all comers to listen to his excellence

I Just Can’t Help It

I’m a longtime Jonathan Holmes fan and yeah — he’s excellent. Of course he is. But I feel like Tanya is the secret sauce of this show. Not only do the two of them have fantastic chemistry, but she’s just casually one of the funniest people on the planet. And I love that neither of them are afraid to experiment with the structure of the show. TTWAV is one of my favorites!

One of the good ones

Jonathan is one of the most insightful minds in video game journalism. The takes he has are thoughtful, unique and reflect a mind that understands the nuances of human psychology, all delivered with a kind, humble affect. As the title hints at, the show frequently discusses flash points in video game culture wars stuff, and does so with grace and great humor. What a mensch! I also love when he wears his mesh tank top.
