This show has different hosts depending on the show but the shows I came here for happen to line up w Jo and Rob. Simply put, Jo goes way too big on Reddit theories, trade gossip, and wish casting. This is less a deep dive and more a meandering name dropping exploration of anything tangentially related to the show, which leaves me more disoriented than immersed. It plays like a forum reads, unfocused, bloated, and mostly a waste of time.

Jo and Rob do such a great job breaking down episodes of TV, I wish they covered every show that I watch so I can get more in depth coverage. You should read the Slough House series!

Rob is such a great addition to this show, especially with Jo. Love this combo!!

Really like the show, but Joanna’s inability to not spoil things often makes me consider no longer listening. Telegraphing that squid game ends on a cliff hanger / is an incomplete story in the middle of a mid season non-spoiler episode is a huge spoiler! So was hinting at the end of Say Nothing during the mid season podcast. Just stop watching ahead if you can’t refrain from spoiling. It’s otherwise a very good show!

the mumbling of the host on this podcast made me turn off & unfollow. slow down and enunciate! and stop saying like!!!!

Please Joana stop with the fake laughing

Thanks you! Keep up the great work.

I so look forward to hearing Joanna and Rob discuss my favorite tv shows! They’re both so well spoken. I just love hearing their perspectives. It’s a big treat when Van Lathan joins them too. This podcast never disappoints me.

I preface this by saying I am a big fan of the podcast however, when commenting and reviewing a fictional story can you please not be so woke and politically correct. It sounds so ridiculous that you’re trying to walk a line as not to judge a fictional character. It’s ridiculous. Just make your comments and analyze the story, but stop the disclaimers on disclaimer.

Why are they talking about the director for 15 min? Get to the recap bruh

Slow Horses and Disclaimer just a treat to listen to these two cover TV

I like Wos but come on, you’re gonna be on a podcast about a show set in the world of The Batman, and you have not even seen the movie? Why did Prestige TV even do this if they aren’t gonna cover it with people who care.

Please get rid of him. His commentary is dreadful

I usually like this podcast, but don’t you think they should have had super hero fans talking about the penguin????? Will need to take a break for a little while

Suggestion: Maybe Wos should have watched the Batman movie before going on a podcast that covers Penguin??? Should probably be required viewing to watch the subject matter it continues

Have listened to the Shogun, Sugar, and am up to date with Bad Monkey. Fantastic! There is a 2nd Yancey title, Razor Girl by Hiaasen. Also, I like Vaughn’s supporting role in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Very funny. Thank you for this podcast.

I really enjoyed the Presumed Innocent recaps/reviews and the banter between the hosts I will continue listening for sure!

Just the greatest. All hail Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney! 👑👑

Charles Holmes is incredibly annoying. Why does he laugh/chuckle at everything, even when it’s not appropriate? I wish Van hosted the episodes on his own. His insight is much deeper. The two together don’t work as a vibe. Van is a deep thinker while Charles thinks everything is funny.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast, but it totally depends on who the hosts are. I’m always happy to listen to hosts who are knowledgeable and positive about shows, even if the shows aren’t at the it best. Hosts like Charles Holmes, who seems to revel in his hatred for all things on the big and small screen, should not host. His (and Van Lathan’s) attitude about The Bear season 3 has been particularly disappointing. I usually love listening to this pod right after an episode airs, but it has been terrible with those two.

.

Shocker the two men didn’t see value in an episode about childbirth and a mother-daughter relationship. Jesus Christ think outside of yourself not all TV is for you.

Very insightful and eye-opening without unnecessary detail. Funny but not snarky or mean. They take the shows seriously but don’t take themselves too seriously. Listening to Bald Move pods doubles my enjoyment of the shows themselves. Thanks for all you do guys!

Enjoyed the season 4 finale pod

So I guess Charles Holmes’s personality is “I’m light skinned”. I don’t know why this was referenced so many times during the podcast. Who cares! Just talk about the show. Then again, I feel like he never has any fresh takes or nuanced things to say. I will not be listening to anymore episodes where he is the host. Just terrible.

Not entirely sure why there is so much reference to the book in these recaps. It very rarely adds any color to their viewing experience and take aways from the show. Hoping that because Joanna hasn’t read through episode 6 that the remaining episodes will be less infuriating to listen to. A reminder to skip the first 10 minutes so you’re not subjected to the odd comparisons of actors and characters to professional athletes. Weirdest segment.

thrilled to hear kate halliwell on another podcast, i miss tea time! love the rotating guests on such a wide variety of shows. also here to implore jo and charles to cover this season of interview with the vampire when it wraps.

I love the mixing of the Ringer staff. Joanna & Craig H on Hacks - perfection! The shows they’re reviewing are everything I’m loving and watching. Only critique… give us More More More!

you’ve heard the worst two hosts, these two come along and talk about baby reindeer…one yells and…never mind…i don’t want to be more hateful…smh…

I first encountered Andy Greenwald by way of his work as a novelist. Not long after moving to NYC I came across his novel “Miss Misery,” which I was drawn to for its Elliott Smith referential title. It’s a good book. Years later I was pleasantly surprised to see his name again, this time as a pop culture critic and enthusiast on his previous podcast. I had gone looking for more on my favorite show of all time, The Leftovers, and have greedily devoured all Greenwald/Leftovers material. Thoroughly enjoying the Did it Stick the Landing subseries. One small correction: the quote at the end of the Twin Peaks finale episode about following your obsessions is a great, but is misattributed to Kafka. It’s actually by Anne Rice, from a foreword written by her for a Kafka collection.

Love the new series, we need an episode on The Shield!! Underrated, overlooked pioneer of the bad guy protagonist for cable tv

I love every podcast Jo is on and this is no exception. She’s great and it’s lovely to have a female viewpoint in an often male-dominated world. However, no matter how many times I subscribe or follow this podcast it only sticks for a few weeks when I’m automatically unsubscribed. This is one of my favorite podcasts and I can’t figure out how to solve this technical issue nor why it only happens with this podcast.

Jo and Rob are killing it with Shogun! 10/10. No notes.

Throughly enjoyed your interview with the show runners. Extremely interesting. Best episode so far……

All the subtlety and nuance of a bunch of self-important students in 10th-grade English class.

Really fun idea for podcast, first season ended too soon. PLEASE do I Married Dora (80s sitcom with bonkers ending that really shook me when I saw it in real time).

The language of the two hosts are annoyingly woke. She made far too many comments about white males and all of that garbage and the dude actually used the term Latinx. listening to Joanna ruins shows with her political views is tedious and a shame.

I want to love this podcast. I really do. The show is incredible and I am eager to bask in the takes and analysis of it. But my god the constant references to the book are exhausting. That the book comments are so often hedged with apologies for yet another book reference is somehow even more frustrating. Take your own advice! I don’t deny references to source material can at times be useful, but when just about every topic discussed is insisted on being anchored to the book, it’s too much. I confess this probably makes the podcast “not for me” as opposed to bad, which is why I’m still giving four stars, it’s just a bummer!

I’m rewatching The Leftovers since listening to the pod a couple weeks ago. Never noticed Perfect Strangers being on TV in a few episodes of season one, but they’re nice Easter eggs now knowing that Mark Linn-Baker will factor in season three. Just finished watching International Assassin. What great hour of television!

Stick the Landing is fantastic. Love it!

Your welcome o/

Why did The Ringer hire her? She has a long reputation of being awful. Yuck.

I had a full schedule planned this week but then I started to listen to new The Leftovers pod on Tuesday only to realize I need to rewatch all 3 seasons of this amazing show before listening. Now that I’m at 1x8 there’s no hope for me, rest of my week is out the window. Thanks, Ringer. I look forward to this pod esp with Mina as guest.

Stick the Landing is GOATED

A love note. Please stop recasting the shows and watching the clock in your watching. Try enjoying the shows for what it is. On rewatch do all of your critics viewing. Sometimes enjoying the show is when it cuts off and you had no idea and are left hanging. Or when you don’t know all of the rumors for the trades. I haven’t watched Phoebe, and she isn’t on the show, so why keep talking about your fan fiction of it? Anyways, thanks.

I absolutely love these podcasts. The hosts are super insightful interesting and funny.

You take money from the oil and gas industry? Really? Gross. Goodbye.

Andy Greenwald so the floor is already 5⭐️s

5 enthusiastic stars. If Amanda did a Girls rewatch. I would definitely tune in.

How often when talking about the Curse they sounded like characters on The Curse
