What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

this is the funniest podcast in the world. i have listened to literally billions of hours of podcasts over the last decade and this is the only one that has made me cry laughing (on a number of occasions!) it’s impossible to describe but Hollywood Handbook is flawless

richelleolsen · Jun 2023

I’ve listened since The Realty Show Show. I’ve loved The Boys forever and I still do, but I’m finally admitting that they’ve lost their mojo. They’ve seemed tired and bored for a good while and it’s not getting any better. Back in the day when they did little improv stories they were so funny and adorable. I remember dying laughing when Hayes drove backwards in a race car and went to buy Peeps and Sean cooked and ate strong dragon eggs and climbed trees to find kites and fought with religion and got chased by a bear. Those were the good old HH days but I guess they’re gone forever. I’ll keep listening because I love them but I’m sad and I sure do miss the old boys.

If you do not laugh while listening to this podcast, there is something wrong with you. Their most recent episode almost made me pee my pants.

maxam67 · Jun 2021

Very funny. Kind of an acquired taste and takes a few episodes to “get it” but when you understand their humor it’s fantastic and a completely unique podcast.
