Like it but…

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.
Way too much elitist negativity

I just listened to your latest podcast regarding “Disclaimer”. I have never heard such amateurish ‘bro’ dribble about a series before even seeing the final episode which ties it all together. I listen to many podcasts but without a doubt yours is the most juvenile one I’ve ever heard. Are you both trying to out laugh each other? You are pathetic. Grow up and learn what real art is before you tear it to pieces in your immature, disgusting way.
