DanOf QPR ,

Boom shanka!

Great show - excellent production and laugh out loud funny at times.
PS - the chicken wing eating sound effects were hard to listen to - but hey, I didn’t want to cook pasta after hearing that, I went to B-Dubs!

Nick McNulty ,

The Memba-Berries of podcasts

Whiel there might be an engaging time travel story in this podcast, it is lost amongst the numerous and tedious references to 90's culture. Remember Blockbuster? Remember Saving Private Ryan? Remember AOL? Remember Surround Sound? After a while it's too overwhelming and distracts from the main plot. It was a bit like the episode of BoJack Horseman that was entirely referneces to 2007, only without the self-aware humor.

Fronzel Neekburm ,

Want a cool time travel thriller?

Too bad. It makes up about 20% of this story. I know how streaming worked in the 1990’s. And all the 90’s nostalgia I can handle.

Hire a better editor.

And the chicken wing stuff was gross. Stop.
