Customer Reviews
Love the podcast
Been binge listening for a few days now. Love the chemistry and conversation, Chuck is a hater but he always takes time and makes his arguments very sound. It’s a great listen.
Ride for the Midnight Boys
Pew Pew!!
Most Positive Reactions to the Acolyte out there
You guys said the song at the end credits of episode 7 of the Acolyte was a banger. Yall truly trolling or yall really playing Pat Bev defense defending this abomination of a Star Wars show. You guys might be saying the Acolyte is not working, but you guys were far more critical of other subpar Star Wars shows. We can applaud people trying new things and taking risks in Star Wars, but new and different isn’t always better, especially if people’s own agendas mess up shows by completely contradicting Star Wars lore and canon. I loved you guys for your different and funny reactions as well as your sports analogies to our favorite shows/movies, but your coverage of the Acolyte just doesn’t seem genuine.
