I do enjoy this podcast to go with my girls rewatch but it could be a little more organized and I don’t think the male host likes the female host very much. It’s distracting lol he is always making little side comments or undercutting what she says and the whole “OUR podcast “ in the return episode like oh god you know what she meant. I thought it was just me but I saw another review that mentioned it so I know I’m not crazy. If he can get it together and they can slow down and let each other talk more (and the guests) it’d be a smoother listen but overall not bad. I’m also still on season one so hope it gets better.

Was an original Girls watcher and was the age of the characters as this show unfolded. The hosts are too young to talk about this era and the whole “you’d only understand if you live in NYC” is getting very tired. One host hates nearly every character and relates to Marnie (need I say anymore on this?). It’s giving Gen Z Millenial tiktok discourse.

People don’t even know what vocal fry means anymore..they just love to call something vocal fry

I would love to hear a girls recap but I am so distracted by the way the hosts parrot podcasts like seek treatment and straightiolab. I wish this podcast was hosted by different people.

If you have never lived in New York thank you will not understand almost anything they’re talking about. Not a podcast for regular people who like film and TV at all.

If only they’d talk more about the show. All over the place in structure

Clips of this podcast on TikTok ar what inspired me to rewatch Girls, but the poor production quality and professionalism of the hosts are a disappointment. The audio mix is terrible; the hosts and guests are constantly talking over each other at different volumes; and there’s wayyyyy too much meandering filler full of extreme vocal fry.

I love the GIRLS content, but even more than that, Amelia and Evan help this little 25 year old mess, feel less like a mess ❤️ It’s comforting to hear other people my age talk about how weird being 25 is, because lemme tell y'all it’s WEIRD. Anyway keep on keeping on bbys 🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻❤️

The vocal fry is way intense. But it is a fun take on one of my favorite shows.

I tried so hard to love this because I love girls so much. I don’t think the hosts understand the characters well. Which is okay they are very young. Also I’m so sorry to say but one of the hosts is insufferable to listen to. They are constantly shooing on the other host and taking this whole podcast too seriously. The fact that one host is screaming into the mic while the other you can hardly hear is uncomfortable to listen. I also do not think they are funny. A lot of the jokes are very sheltered you can tell they come from money and have very little life experience. Again all of this is fine, however they shouldn’t make jokes trying to relate to things and characters they do not understand.

I was really excited to listen to a rewatch podcast of one of my favorite shows Girls however was very disappointed when I tuned into this podcast. I only made it about 4 episodes in when I couldn’t bare to listen anymore. I was expecting was in-depth discussion of the series with attention to the nuanced topics it covers but instead, the hosts turn every episode into discussion about themselves and their ideologies. Yes I understand that some introductions are in order when beginning a podcast but the focus continued to stay on the hosts themselves rather than the Girls series, even several episodes in. I don’t think this should be called a rewatch podcast and anyone looking for that should look elsewhere.

Evan and Amelia… babes… I’ve never felt so strongly about a podcast as to leave a review, but I had to. I know you mean well but this podcast is not what it could be, and not what you think it is… I think maybe it’s because neither of you can generate unique thoughts while speaking into the microphone?? which sounds terrible? but every time I try to listen to this podcast I sink into misery, 1) because I’m actively losing precious brain cells and time on this planet, and 2) because I fear for a future (and present) in which this show is an acceptable form of entertainment and / or review… i can only listen to about four minutes before the dread sinks in… i know the pod is supposed to be funny, but this is so serious to me. The vocal fry + dumb dumb convos + transplant gorilla grip on the fraction of nyc you inhabit is just not working for me. and I say this as a veteran transplant myself. Living in bushwick as thirty-somethings does not entitle you to run a podcast, especially about THIS particular show — it should in fact deter you from the very venture… please, you can’t keep doing this. it’s literally ruining my life. But I do have to say, I like the instagram content, and I love both of your dead-eyed stares in the video clips. I’m so sorry but it had to be said, it would eat away at me otherwise. I truly wish the best of luck to you both and blessings as well 🫠

This pod is hosted by two incredibly smart incredibly funny incredibly beautiful members of Generation Z who are rewatching a show about Millennials. Millennials, we blew it, we owe Lena a thousand apologies and we need to listen to Amelia and Evan forever.

Amelia and Evan are hilarious and witty in this incredibly unique pod where the dichotomy of Gen z and Millennial is beautifully explored (and at times dissolved) by their banter on rediscovering GIRLS. In the name of nostalgia, femmehood, and queerness, I love this freaking pod! To the reviews complaining about sound quality / the hosts’ voices: respectfully grow up <3 this is a free podcast and I for one appreciate a pod that isn’t hosted by some robotic, monotone, emotionless, whispering straight. There, I said it <3

I want to love this podcast but the audio is a mess. Evan always sounds too quiet so I end up turning the podcast up and down constantly and it really affects the listening experience. You have so much good stuff to say! Please make it a better listening experience.

I love the show Girls and was excited to follow along. And then…..the way they talk with the drawn out words and vocal fry. Immediate ick. Sorry but if they decide to speak like humans I’ll try again.

Congrats on being gay Evan, had no clue. Love this pod plz never stop

Big fan! Evan and Amelia you are such a funny peek into genZ Brooklyn culture, and your takes on the GIRLS and how they represent 2012 culture are so interesting. HOWEVER, the Iris Apatow episode really illustrates how a (very) boring, unfunny guest who clearly didn’t take the time to analyze the episode can ruin the weekly ep. Pls keep booking comedic guests who are GIRLS diehards and who deserve a spot on this fun show :)) Also thank you for your cultural updates - without you I wouldn’t know Cha cha matcha is cringe.

Such great hosts & comedians! Love the Girls nostalgia

Thank you for singlehandedly curing our “Girls” withdrawals <3

Every time they speak, I’m like, “they’re both just like me fr.” I love this podcast and it’s so comforting to hear people that love Lena and Girls as much as I do. This podcast makes traffic enjoyable <3 10/10 recommend!

Love listening to these two dissect Girls - they’re the fun queer Gen Z younger siblings everyone wishes they had. Love the Tulane references too since I went and taught there briefly but forever live in fear Evan will know someone who took my class and hated it/me and will say it out loud on the pod lol

I watched this show live in college/early 20s and it was wonderful. So happy to hear that the next gen sees the genius of Lena but is not afraid to throw a critique or two. Also listening to these 25 YOs makes me laugh. The one hilarious thing i must say is that whenever the hosts are introducing the guests they always use the pronoun “they” even when the guest has she/him pronouns. I guess its a gen z thing to neutralize the genders. Once i heard the hosts do this i now notice all gen z does this lolololol. I guess its a safe bet to do that either way. Anyway, listening to this podcast makes me realize that except for the pronoun fear, gen z is exactly like us; it’s very comforting to know that youth is universally difficult and sticky and i love hearing these kids discuss the pinnacle show about youth and relating to it 15 years later.

I love their chemistry. Very funny and sweet. Great guests!

The hosts are beyond hilarious and the guests are some of my fave NYC comedians :) also so fun even if you aren’t currently watching the show

Amelia and Evan are the Gen Z little siblings you need in your life. As our hosts navigate the chaos of their 20s, the pod has this beautiful meta quality while they discuss the still relevant masterpiece of identity formation and culture that is Girls. They approach Lena’s work with sincerity and wit. TY from a New Yorker in sf : ) Great to have company on the revisit, and to discover a work of artful interview and critique in its own right. The Algorithm serves. P.S. my take on ppl hating the last season: they’re confronting a resistance to change w/in themselves// they don’t want Hannah to grow up?…it’s still v good

to dance to the snippet of “Who’s That Girl?” Two Gen-Z Brooklynites examine ~the~ voice of the generation above them

I started watching Girls in 2015 and I couldn’t believe how amazing the writing was, how incredible the acting was, and not to mention the beautiful soundtrack. I just remember sobbing after each episode because of how touched I was. Finding this podcast a few months ago, has made me relieve and feel all of the feelings like I was watching the show for the very first time. This podcast makes me so extremely happy.

Love the premise of today’s Brooklyn 20somethings reacting to Girls. Love the window into their world. And love that this magnificent television program is being celebrated. Thank you for your service.

Engaging but droning enough to do laundry to, a fine line they trapeze beautifully

I think if this podcast existed when I was watching Girls live in college I would have understood it WAY more. Also no offense but if you complain about vocal fry?? Extremely 2010 core! Grow up!

Binging this along with my yearly GIRLS viewing. I’ve been waiting for this kind of commentary! Thank you!

I don’t even need seek treatment any more, this cured my addiction!

PLEASE get binchtopia on the show

I love listening to HBO Girls Rewatch! I LOVE Evan, he makes me laugh!

I listen religiously and highly rec

If you’re a diehard fan or still making your way through the show for the first time, this podcast is the go-to guide to looking back on Girls. such a fun silly time to kick back and listen with two hosts that feel like your immediate best friends and talk about such a fun silly show

their guest curation is everything and they make me laugh, what more can i say💖

Makes me cackle and they always have the most interesting guests + great chemistry with them!!! I think a lot of the negative reviews aren’t really getting the degree of performance that the hosts put into this. They clearly know the show well and are ready to analyze it, but don’t take themselves to seriously which makes it more fun and interesting ((Also if you complain about evan’s diction I feel like you’re being a little homophobic…))

If HBO “Girls” defined my late-teens and early-20s, HBO “Girls” Rewatch Podcast defines my mid-20s. It is so nice to revisit this show with two people who seem to think that they too, are the voices of their generation.

Such a great podcast. Really takes a show that shows it’s age and makes it funnier for a newer generation. Everyone in these reviews hating is old and ugly.

These two are so consistently funny and genuine. This podcast popped up on my social media and entirely convinced me to watch Girls for the first time (thank god) Give it a listen.

Love these girls. So fun to revisit with them 💖

Evan and Amelia will have me rewatching Girls til the day I die. Their hilarious yet insightful take on one for the best shows on television had me hooked from the start- I can listen to them talk all day. 10/10 must.

Don’t even like Girls but could listen to Evan and Amelia talk about it for years…decades even. So funny, stupid, and perfect <3

Rally loving this pod! Appreciate your takes on Girls (as someone who also is in their early 20s living in Brooklyn) and think it’s great to get to hear from a different guest’s perspective each week. Also one of my favorite follows on Instagram hahahahaha

Love this podcast and listening to it

I tried. I was 22 in 2012..not sure if they quite understand these characters and no to the wokeness. Although this podcast isn’t for me I do love their passion and hope they continue to push through.

I can’t understand 90% of the words Evan is saying.

The vocal fry and upspeak is so INSANE at first I thought the hosts were being ironical. They’re supposed to be representing Gen Z but sound more like California valley like omg totally girls/guys from the 80s. However, their Insta is cute and they communicate much better in written form so check that out.
