These two are gold!

OMG, I'm so happy I discovered this podcast! These two are amazing together, and their conversations on watching this stuff for the first time are freaking hilarious. I pretty much just listen to the seasons where they watched stuff I watched, and it did not disappoint! I often found myself crying-laughing at their interpretations, hot takes, and the WTF moments they've had while watching. I can't wait to hear about what they watch next!

Laughing Out Loud

Jon Stewart once asked "Are you not entertained?". Well when it comes to this podcast, I am very entertained. I laughed til I snorted at the Ladies antics and their guest's commentary. I needed a light hearted pick me up and the time that I spent with them was well spent. Give me more of this dynamic duo.

So great! Everyone should listen to this.

I love the entire fast a furious movies and I loved the way you talked about it. This was funny and loved hearing the way you did your reviews. For the next season I think you should do the MCU *Marvel cinematic universe* I haven't watched the movies or tv shows,, but if you do it I will watch all the movies with you!!!!!

love it!

I've listened to almost all of the Star Wars episodes and they're so much fun. I love Nicole, I love Lauren, and their guests all bring something special to the conversation. I've learned a lot, too! Podcasts are new to audible and I was excited to find Newcomers here. I listen to a lot of audiobooks so it's nice to be able to switch between books/podcasts on the same app.

Really Enjoying the Tyler Perry Season

I just started listening to this show at Season 3; the Tyler Perry season. It is very fun to listen to these two along with their guests enjoy his work so much. They really are watching it through fresh eyes and some of their observations are absolutely hilarious! I love it!

love this podcast

if you are the kind of person that loves to hear a friend say they haven't seen a popular franchise just so you can introduce them and experience it all again through them. Then this is the show for you! Nicole and Lauren have unpredictable opinions, funny observations, and go over interesting trivia with enthusiastic guests, just a truly entertaining podcast whether you are a fan or a fellow newcomer!
