Romancing the Pod

Updating my review in 2025: I’m still listening and I mostly love the podcast now; it has definitely evolved in a great way. My only quibble is that I need Todd to stop repeating what’s already been said. Not just what’s already been said; what was JUST said. Example: in the Date Night episode (April 10, 2025), he literally repeated what Paige said at least twice: once when he repeated who directed the movie after she just physically said the words of who directed the movie, and the second time (minute 55-ish) was when they described the part where the bad guys know their address and might go after their kids at their house. This second repeat was so audacious and lengthy, I had to stop listening and leave this review. His tone is happy and he’s explaining something… that was just explained or said. It wouldn’t be so bad if elsewhere throughout the episode he wasn’t saying “yeah” or “of course” in agreement to what Paige is saying, using a tone that implies that she’s saying something obvious; the irony is that HE’S been saying obvious things the whole episode. Listen, I don’t want to leave criticism, but hopefully it’s constructive; that’s the intention. I frequently skip ahead 10 seconds without missing any threads of the conversation. I took the time to leave this review in case it’s helpful feedback and it can be improved upon. Again, I love how the show has evolved and grown. Going to resume listening to the episode now; keep up the great work. Old review: This used to be a good podcast, not my favorite, but I like hearing about movies. Todd and Mikey are in the midst of the lamest slap-fight I’ve ever had the displeasure of listening to. (I was going to call this a d*** measuring contest, but this is more juvenile.) It’s so childish. You’re making the energy weird, especially because neither of you is dunking on each other and you both look petty. (I’m talking specifically about the Oct 26, 2023 episode for Fools Rush In, but this feedback is not restricted to just that one.) End it. Talk about movies. I don’t listen to your episodes often, but every time I give one a listen, I remember how trying it is to hear you guys and how it doesn’t have to be this way.

I want to watch more romantic comedies just so I can listen to more episodes. Paige and Todd are the perfect hosts!

I’ve meant to leave a review for a long time but didn’t finally get around to it until today, because I feel like I should warn people: Listen to this whenever you want, but maybe not while you’re getting a back tattoo. Then you’re stuck trying to swallow your laughter while Paige and Todd expound on the Pierce Brosnan was in on 9/11 theory. That isn’t a great experience. But the show is.

This podcast is hilarious and I know my Thursday’s are going to be great when it starts by listening to Paige and Todd talk about these absurd movies !! Even if you haven’t seen the movie, the episode is worth it! If you want good Monday’s check out Horror Virgin #ripMikey

I’ve been listening to this podcast since Jen was on it. There are some that are entertaining but I’m 40 minutes in to the Girls Trip episode and we’ve barely gotten into the movie. Every episode Todd for some reason has to clarify something that Paige says which isn’t necessary IMO. Then there is the singing which is Godawful but this episode specifically is just Paige injecting stories about her personal life that isn’t relevant or necessary (drunk on a plane with bullets??) For two people who constantly complain about the pacing in movies, they need to keep the podcast on topic.

I like the premise so much but the dynamic is all off since Mikey left. Paige absolutely rocks and I love her but she’s a strong personality that overpowers And Todd, he always seems to be fighting Paige for the spotlight or something. You guys need that third person to balance out the anxious attachment energy of the show. And you’re picking terrible movies lately. There are so many bangers (classics) you still haven’t done - you don’t have to do the Netflix no-names that only UK viewers have watched. Come on now.
