The Watch

Like the pod, but there is, from time to time, an unwillingness to engage with the material that they don’t like in any depth. I also find there to be a bias in favor of the MCU and greater critical scrutiny towards other non-MCU IP. I assume it has something to do with childhood / teen nostalgia. Frankly, I find no IP universe inherently superior, and the MCU has more than its share of junk.

You’d think industry is the only show on tv.

I love Andy and Chris, Andy is starting to give off dismissive, “I’m above it all”, whiny vibes. In his own way, he is becoming just like my least favorite podcaster at the Ringer - Amanda Dobbins. He almost whines like a child about anything he doesn’t like, and sometimes not because of the actual show itself, but because of the “principle” or some other made up reason. And his constant rants and disruptions any time Chris tries to make a point, are getting exhausting. Like Chris rarely gets to articulate a thought without being interrupted by Andy. And finally, the constant avoidance of questions by Andy is getting out of hand. “so what did you think of episode 3?” - Chris “Wait a minute, wait a minute, I’m still stuck on the fact that last night when I texted you, you were eating chicken. Is chicken a thing now?” - Andy. Like I love this duo, but Andy step it up. You can do better than this, I’ve listened to episodes when you’ve been great.

Did not have *crying* during the Industry Season 3 finale on my bingo card. Love all the new storylines and genres this show is exploring, even if heartbreaking and soul-crushing to watch at times. Can’t wait for Season 4!
