please cover shows you actually like

Have been listening (and reading andy's columns on banshee) to the boys since the hollywood prospectus days ... and will probably always tune in for as long as they do this

But I can't lie it's been a rough stretch! 50% of the pod in the past two months has been them performatively covering Euphoria (joanna and rob are guilty of this too but my expectations are far lower for them). Season 3 of this show is not only objectively bad, but it's blatantly obvious that neither chris nor andy actually like it either, and it makes for a miserable listen.

It's annoying that 10 hours on-air have been spent covering something they dance around clearly disliking, when they couldn't even get past watching two episodes of something fresh and auteurish like DTF St. Louis ... in fairness they've given love to Widow's Bay which is well-deserved, but my point is it's so unnecessary to spend the bulk of the pod talking about something that's clearly past-its-peak engagement slop.

Putting this out there because I think others feel this too - I go back and listen to the boys covering Le Bureau or the Watchmen ... and it's just night and day the energy and enthusiasm and clear passion they have!

TLDR please please please spend more time talking shop about tv / pop culture you actually love! Hell we would gladly take 45 minutes of cr and andy after dark, over performative coverage of euphoria!
