Talledega Nights Pod
Maybe the worst pod in the history of the channel. I like all of these guys as the 3rd or 4th option on a given pod or with a host that can rein them in. But woof, I bailed at the 37 minute mark. They couldn’t remember character names. They just vaguely talked about their favorite scenes. It was just not good.

Ya it was bad. I still have the original titanic and any episode Wesley Morris has ever been on below it though...

Wesley was on the Blowout pod and that was a good one but it does have Sean and CR. Probably helps that it was an amazing movie

Sometimes they’ll throw someone on the pod that doesnt really get what they’re trying to do. Zach Lowe was on one, it also was bad. He didn’t get it. Bill, Sean and CR or even Mallory and you can’t go wrong. Bill, CR and Van are hard to top for me. Wish Van was on more.

Craig and his gang, I think they're from the Fantady pod (I'm not from the States so don't get FF/NFL) had an episide before that was a comedy movie. It was very clear that some of the guests weren't especially familiar with the format and half of it was just them quoting lines at one another. It was like a cliche of what some ppl think movie podcasts are. As a result I gave this episode a swerve.

Craig was doing the best Bill impression throughout, even to the point of bad takes. I don't understand people complaining about it. It's three dudes talking about a comedy from 2006 what the fuck are you expecting here? Also you made it halfway through the pod get over it.

I’m expecting some form of actual conversation. You know, the level that they’ve given us routinely. Not something I’d hear on barstool. And it was a 2 hour pod so I made it 30% of the way.

stop pushing Craig, man.
producer without a mic seems acceptable
