Love the show … BUT

Señor Vodka 24

This is great pod for people who love movies. Sean is an amazing host. Many of the guests, such as Jo, Chris, and Griffin & David of the “Blank Check” podcast are incredibly entertaining. The only thing holding this show back from being a 5-star podcast is Amanda. I’m sure she’s an awesome person in real life, which is really the only thing that matters, but she’s not very enjoyable to listen to on the episodes. I’ve just never found it pleasing to listen to people who only think what they like is good while being dismissive of other things. It’s quite irritating. But I still tune in just about every week because all other aspects of the pod are delightful. Looking forward to 2025 and all the things you’ll cover in the next year.
