I love The Mess Around! It flows a lot better without Zooey (and I love Zooey). Hannah is a natural and could read the proverbial phone book and I’d listen. Lamorne is charming. Together they are so much fun. Just another classic Winston and CeCe mess around!
The new New Girl rewatch with Lamorne and Hannah is SO MUCH BETTER than before!!! Don’t get me wrong, I love Zooey but this is more of a rewatch pod rather than random tangents and going way off topic! I also feel like the vibe is so much more fun and light! Thank you for rebranding & giving the New Girl fans what we strive for!!! 🤍🩷
Genuinely look forward to each episode now! Love everything about the rebrand. Title and theme are perfect. Happy for Hannah and Lamorne; they’re killing it & have great bestie chemistry
The new format is so much better and cohesive! Really happy that Hannah and Lamorne are back together to recap New Girl. They have wonderful rapport! My only complaint is the intro music or whatever you want to call that. I’m so sorry to whoever created it but it’s very chaotic and too long. I skip over it. The end where Lamorne says “Mess around podcast” would be sufficient as an intro.
Ok… let me preface this by saying that NG is literally my favorite show ever. Ever. Have watched it so many times. I was super excited to listen to this. I have listened to every episode now (13) and here is why I’m just all done. 1) As mentioned in other reviews, Zooey interrupts and constantly brings the conversation back to talking about herself. Super narcissistic. I was disappointed. 2) Lamorne is always trying to be funny and joking around sarcastically… which is awesome. But then Zooey or Hannah (mostly Z) has to constantly say “no that’s not true.” Etc. It’s a joke and everyone knows it. Why do you have to be so politically correct all of the dang time. Which brings me to my literal biggest pet peeve of this podcast… 3) the constant need to be woke and politically correct. You do not need to say that things were racist or cringey or disturbing every freaking episode. Everyone watching knows. Everyone is an adult. It’s a show. It’s on. It’s still streaming. For the love of God, I’m so sick of this. Can we just have a rewatch podcast without 10 minutes of you dancing around the “inappropriateness” of some parts. Which honestly, is kind of a slap in the face to the writers, which you are praising in the same episode. 🤦🏼♀️ I just don’t get it. It’s been fun. But I’m out. I’m going to go turn on the real show where I am allowed to watch and laugh and no one is interrupted.
I’m only like nine episodes in but so far this shows seems to be about 5% new girl recap and 95% about their lives or other projects they have been in. That’s fine sometimes and can be interesting but I was hoping more for info about the episodes and behind the scene stuff. Don’t expect that here. I’ll keep trying to see if it gets any better though.
