What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love FNL and wanted a podcast to follow as I rewatch. I enjoy their take and like the ratings they give (Coach Taylor Inspo-rating, Buddy sleaze-ball moment, etc.). The only thing I would change is the edit. I know to automatically skip about 10 minutes at the beginning, but there are times when the small talk lasts for almost 20 minutes, and digressions during the episode happen frequently as well. Otherwise, I enjoy it!

I found this podcast while watching FNL on Netflix in order to share the experience of watching and loving the show. After listening to quite a few episodes, I have come to love listening to your recaps, opinions/speculations, and tangents (and even the “Anthony gets political segments”). Y’all are super fun and witty and when you finish FNL, I hope you continue with another show (I’ll give you some suggestions🤞) or maybe just start over again. 😄 Please keep doing what you’re doing as you’ve been a nice reprieve during these stressful times.

KiKi TX · Oct 2021

I really enjoy this podcast. I’ve watched the series through 4 times and they’ve brought new things to my attention such as notable music and outdated pop culture references. I knew I’d like it when they introduced the Julie Taylor hate-o-meter.

NOTMovieDude1 · Aug 2021

Listening to hosts Josh and Anthony feels like tuning into a Dillon radio station on game day... filled with passion, small town charm, and laughs. They offer the perfect blend of structured segments, and off-the-cuff banter... makes it easy to follow. Their personal connection to the show is charming (one of them named their dog Riggins 🐶) — they know how to honor the show that we all love through their commentary, while also teasing and analyzing the characters and plot lines (or plot holes). Nothing like 2007 pop culture references 😂 You’ve got me rewatching FNL for the 4th time through. Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can’t lose. 🏈
