For me it has to be the Berlin live episode and in top spot the live DnD episode, which I literally had to turn off after about 15 mins because it was too embarrassing. I can't imagine what being in the audience must have been like, lmao

(Obviously the true leftist answer is all of them)

    I hate their movie reviews. The world is on fire and you want to talk about Face/Off for an hour and a half?

    I also hate when they "hate watch" something and then spend forever talking about it. It's like "motherfucker, I spend a good deal of time avoiding these things and you guys are one of the few sources of entertainment that isn't endless trash, could you please just stick to current events?"

      Maybe it's just my MST3K mindset but I totally disagree. Watching terrible movies is great entertainment, plus in something like assassin 33 AD you can better know the enemy.

      Maybe I just like film crit/commentary tho

        I can dig MST3K but I'm not interested in a review of that Viking movie that just came out. There are plenty of other podcasts that do that

          I like when they review movies they hate, I hate when they review movies they liked because I always disagree with them. Except for Avatar, that one’s good. The Top Gun episode was exhausting.

            I could see it being its own show or something, but it's like opening a box of cookies and discovering it's been replaced with celery when I see "new Chapo episode" then read the description and it's a whole episode where they dunk on Avengers 1,937,362

          I watched the first 20 min of the Northman and it was ass. That scene where the main character is screaming near the bonfire literally reminded me of :frothingfash:

            I can't imagine any part of it being good. Movies have such a dumb wink wink nudge nudge underlying theme that's about as deep as an eighth grade philosophy class.

      This is a core part of the chaposphere (including here) that I really dislike as well.

        I just don't get it. It amounts to "have you heard of this stupid lib movie/capeshit/whitewash of history play? It's so awful! Well, we watched it, and here are all of the details".

        I don't give a rats ass about wonder woman. I don't want to hear about it. I don't even want to hear about why it's bad. I don't want to know trivial details about why a movie is bad. I don't want to waste bandwidth on it.

        I have a 40 minute commute. There are three podcasts I like. They all seem to hit on the same day, so if there's a bad episode, I have jack shit to listen to for most of the week.

        Sports?!? Fucking SPORTS was the subject of the last Chapo episode? You mean the thing that's fucking everywhere? It's on my soda can. It's on every billboard. It's every commercial. It's all people talk about in public. Fuck!

            Ok. I guess I want to listen to a better show then.

            I've noticed something in leftist spaces. When it's time to lay the cards down, everyone always takes on this "...but what do I know? Don't listen to me. It's just jokes." thing.

            Where's the serious part of the movement?

              The only people taking it seriously are the ones who don’t get paid to talk. The organizers who start unions, god bless em. Talking to coworkers and getting them all to agree and work on a shared project sounds downright impossible. Idk how anyone does it
