Their critical love for TV series, film, food, and music shines through in every episode, allowing listeners to experience and dissect different aspects of popular culture in a fun and entertaining way. The inclusion of guests also adds variety to the show, bringing fresh perspectives and insights.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the hosts' ability to make you laugh out loud. Their snarky banter and pop-culture riffs never fail to entertain, creating an atmosphere that feels like you're hanging out with friends. Even if their movie choices are not always familiar to you, it's still enjoyable to love it or hate it along with them.
While The Totally Tell Me podcast has many positive attributes, one potential drawback is its chatty magazine format.

This week, we review Halloween (2018) starring Jamie Lee Curtis and directed by David Gordon Green. It's the latest film in the long running horror franchise and a direct sequel to the original 1978 film also simply titled Halloween. Our guest this week is Dylan Gallagher of the band vverevvolf. We also give a thrilling follow up to last weeks discussion about timeshare scams and whether or not Laura has fallen for one, plus Laura recaps her trip to Indonesia, and Dylan fills us in on how to diet while simultaneously eating a giant tub of movie theater popcorn.
