It's not just GOT anymore!

Super Funny recaps of mostly stuff they like and a few things they didn't. Sometimes it's a full season, sometimes it's just one eps, but it's always a romp. It's especailly helpful for shows I'm never going to watch but want to know what happed. Also recommed back eps if you are rewatching GOT. So subscribe and enjoy!

Local morning DJ team vibe

If listening to a local morning DJ team that is non-stop trying too hard for a laugh and are their own best audience is your cup of tea, then this is for you. The irony, with the Silo coverage for instance, was stating how glad they were to finally have a show that takes it subject matter seriously without the need for the constant MCU type humor - and then they proceed to relentlessly attempt to be funny. The sad part is that it takes away from what would otherwise be insightful commentary.
