Love OCC and Ross and Barrett. I feel like this pod is good for everyone—the gamers who have played The Last of Us, the readers who have read every word GRRM has written, the diehard Star Wars fans, and the commoners who are just watching the mainstream shows. The diehards probably love to hate, the commoners (my camp) can relate/agree/disagree to R and B’s theories and reactions, but everyone can enjoy two goofy friends have an animated talk about the latest eps. They’ve got good rhythm in their banter and I look forward to each episode drop. Keep up the good work, guys!
I look forward to listening to Ross & Barrett cover some of my favorite shows. Great recaps, insights, funny banter, callbacks & pop culture references. Also Barrett’s laugh always makes me laugh. Ross: 100% agree with you regarding too much coverage in the previously on, inside, and preview clips. It’s too much. Just stop. I want to be surprised and since theorizing is part of the fun, I want that to come organically from the audience based on the episode. Too many breadcrumbs steals some of the joy & mystery. So you’re not alone on this point.
Been listening since GOT and I love how Ross and Barrett have kept the pod alive. They continue to discuss reputable shows— if they’re talking about it on OCC, I’m watching. Totally trust their taste 100%. They have such great takes and are hilarious, genuinely good guys! I feel like I’m talking to a friend when I listen. If you’re the type of person who likes high quality TV shows (intellectually stimulating, great plots or just made well in general) and have a tendency to analyze or discuss/debrief with someone after watching, this pod is for you!
I love Ross and Barrett. Always have, stuck with these guys throughout GOT (even the last season), Succession, Last of Us, Severance, White Lotus. They are entertaining and I feel like I’m sitting with them while I listen to the pod and will even add in my 2 cents. Makes me look like a weirdo in my car but it’s cool bc it’s Ross and Barrett. I also have to commend these gentlemen on how they handled the latest White Lotus episode. Politics is never easy to discuss but they did it with such grace and confidence, made me love them even more!!!!
I made it through 2 episodes and had to stop. The whole show is a blow-by-blow of an episode but it winds up longer than the actual episode but without probing deeper into the content. I was looking for a podcast to cover the shows themes, provide insights, etc. and this wasn’t even close to it. I hope the hosts are better human beings than they came across as during the episodes I listened to because they really seemed like frat boys who didn’t grow up.
