Where they spend 5 minutes talking about the political news. Than spend an hour plus dissecting some shit movie/show no one cares about.

    They weren't built for what's going on now. I kinda got away from them after they went on near-complete radio silence on the BLM protests this year, but I've gotten back in recently. Because I've just accepted them for what they are... they like to joke about what's going on and be mostly unserious about it. I think that's their wheelhouse and what they're comfortable with. They don't handle serious things very well and recently shit has gotten serious. And that's more or less fine I guess, not everyone can be Rev Left. But yeah, I just take them less seriously, they aren't at the top of the queue anymore.

    That said I do want to hear what they have to about Trump getting COVID, because that shit's funny and is a bit fat one hanging over the plate for the Chapos.

      I think it's ironic that one of the first episodes after Bernie lost was on Jon Stewart's movie Irresistible and the biggest theme was how all satirical leftist pundit types eventually become irrelevant.
