    Great cast guys I love it. You guys are professional sounding and have chemistry. My only complaint is your hate of Laura. Not because of what she does or how she acts, you hate cause you can’t stand the actress Emily Browning . That just seems like a wrong reason to hate the character Laura. Emily is beautiful and in my opinion is doing a great job at portraying Laura. But hey, it’s your podcast and your opinion . Keep up the good job guys.
