Phil Pullman would be proud

Pullman's trilogy is a literary epic and HBO being HBO did a great job bringing it to the screen and Vito and Rachel do a great job breaking down the show. Love this show!

Great aftershow for my favorite new show.

I've only listened to the first episode of this since I'm not caught up enough with the actual show, but I'm going to be coming back. Rachel and Vito I think are a really good pair for this, especially since she knows the source material and he doesn't, so Rachel can explain, but we can also get Vito's perspective as someone who's on the same page as most fans. I love that they're noticing things that I don't and that they let fans contribute too. You can feel how much they are genuinely engaged in this show. I'll be back for more of this.
