What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I feel as though we’re all sitting at the table with Ren and Lizzie for this deep dive into the material. These sisters are insightful and hilarious, with a delightful helping of obsessive. So fun.

cpfromnl · Oct 2026

The hosts have thoughtful insights and I appreciate how thorough their analysis is, including pointing out details I never noticed despite multiple rewatchesI Constructive criticism, I do recommend a tighter edit of the episodes, there’s a lot of repeated thoughts (Ren especially repeats herself numerous times, almost like a verbal tick) and at times they pause so long between speaking I think the episode has frozen. A little tinkering will make the episodes sing!

I have been listening since day one and a loyal listener. I look forward to each episode every week. Their analysis of Heated Rivalry has made me stay at the cottage for almost 8 months. I even re-listen to every episode again. I love their chemistry and make me laugh so much. (Tuna Melt Kisses…IYKYK)
