    An almost-great podcast that misses the mark
    Pro: Tara and Sarah are great writers and bring a comical spin to the characters that I haven’t heard on other 90210 podcasts, where the hosts babble on with no clear direction. I laugh out loud often and enjoy the hilarious commentary. Con: speaking of commentary though, this isn’t a political podcast. I wish they’d leave out the totally unnecessary and unrelated rhetoric, and stick to the point. We listen to this podcast to laugh about 90210. If we wanted politics we’d listen to something else. It’s disrespectful to pepper us with negative comments and bashing, and assume we all think like you. Please just stick with the Kelly bashing instead.

    OBSESSED!
    I just discovered this podcast, and have been binging it like crazy, I was a huge 90210 fan, especially since I’m the exact same age as their characters were, graduate high school the same year, etc. so it’s like being right back in high school and college all over again! You guys are hysterical,excited to continue my binging days!

    I. LOVE. THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
    I just discovered this podcast about a month ago and I have abandoned all other podcasts because I love this so much! I have watched 90210 since the 90s even though it drives me crazy and Sarah and Tara seem to have the same opinions I do, which is awesome because any other podcast seems to sugarcoat the characters of whatever show they’re talking about. This one doesn’t and I’m here for it. Sarah’s comments during the clips especially always get me giggling. Thank you for making this and keep up the amazing work!

    DAVID!!
    One of my favorite podcasts! Just now catching up on the BH seasons and I’m grateful for all the laughs!
  • Lowra
    Makes me laugh so hard
    I love the banter between these two. They are hilarious and say what we’re all thinking most of the time.

    On my third round of listening
    90210 is my fav show and was delighted when I discovered this podcast. I was sad when I finally caught up and had to wait each week for new pods. I’m on my third go round of listening and it’s my comfort show I listen to when just going about my day.
  • megkelly31
    total catharsis and all around good time
    I was late to the game on this one but so glad I found this! I’m a newer listener quickly found the love for this podcast so much. Started with the Melrose Place eps and then went back and started listening to the 90210 eps and boy oh boy this has been fun. I’ve listened to several seasons of both shows and they all are great but I gotta say that Season 3 of the 90210 eps are just pure joy and hilarity and my favorite so far. Thanks for the laughs and for enduring the hardship of having to rewatch all these shows. It’s truly a public service!
  • Holster216
    Hysterical!!!
    I cannot stop listening to this podcast. The hosts are hilarious! I want sit and watch every show with them to listen to their epic commentary. So much better of a podcast than the one where the hosts literally starred on the show and remember nothing.
  • Remus_1986
    The best 😍
    Dave has the best laugh in the podcast universe 🤩
  • BH90210lover
    Funny!!!
    I love Beverly Hills 90210 and the characters but these two ladies are hilarious and Dave as well. I re-listen to a lot of them just for laughs.
  • john loui
    It was okay
    The podcast is just okay

    Something is Off
    I used to love this podcast and I’m a huge fan of Tara and Sarah. But, Sarah seems so over the pod and Tara is doing all the heavy lifting. I do enjoy the Patreon content where Sarah is much more engaged.
  • Andreacd
    So fun!
    You don’t even have to rewatch the show. They summarize it so we’ll. And their comments make me LOL.
  • liss1979
    Love it!
    I've been listening to this pod for years and I'm finally getting around to give it a review. Let me start by saying- if you're looking for a podcast that praises the show this is not it. It is a satire. They make fun of everything and I am here for it! Both Tara and Sarah are HILARIOUS. Even Dave gets some good ones in too. If I need to cheer up, I turn this podcast on. It's also very reliable. I can always count on a new episode every Monday morning. Love you guys! 5 stars!!!

    Unmissable - TV Pods Do Not Get Better Than This
    My #1 comfort pod, lost count of how many times I’ve relistened. Doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of either show, I’ve never watched a minute of Melrose & never will, it’s still hilarious, thorough & packed w/ lovingly roasted 90s nostalgia. I’d listen to Tara & Sarah (& Dave) recap the weather. Anyone who enjoys this - & everyone should - I beseech you to subscribe to the Patreon, best $5 I’ve ever spent! It’s brought me so much joy in this dark time. Again with Them constantly has me BARKING with laughter. I hope Jennie&Tori continue their godawful show for all 10 seasons & they too go on to do Melrose so it lasts for years. “Sorry to do it to ya” S&T, but as y’all say to my retinas with the visual aids every week, I’m not actually sorry.
  • Syreeta-CC
    Great for squeefs like me!
    I’ve been listening to this show non stop basically since the election to avoid news. Thank you. Tara and Sarah have been my reason for living in 2017/18. THANK YOU. Hang in there! I know it gets worse and not better but this show keeps me alive. *edit to add I listen to this literally every day. Best podcast and I can’t wait for the book!
  • USA02
    Love them!
    I laugh out loud at the Beverly Hills recaps. Sooooo good. Thank you!
  • Hb0974
    Reminds me of the good old days
    Used to get together with my friends to watch melrose place and these recaps bring me back to those times. Like hanging out with old friends.
  • AmyBSC08
    My pandemic friends
    I love this team. I enjoyed (hate) watching 90210 but am only pushing through melrose place so I can hang with my (pretend) friends at AWT.
  • robdog916
    The best recap of this series ever!!!
    I watched this series when it aired, love this podcast!! Listened to all the 90210 podcasts twice!!
  • SageSC
    The best
    I watched several early 90210 episodes on a rainy day yesterday. I literally hear Tara and Sarah the entire time in my head as I watched. It’s more fun to listen to the podcast than even watch the originals.
  • Audreyista
    Yay 90210, nay Melrose Place
    The 90210 edition of this show was so hilarious I used to laugh in public while listening to it. Tara and Sarah mock the show enough that it probably won’t be enjoyable if you’re an unironic fan, but it definitely made the hours and hours of my life I wasted watching that show feel more worthwhile if I can indirectly get some amusement out of them. Unfortunately, ever since they started doing the Melrose Place edition, even the hosts don’t really seem to be having fun recording the episodes, which makes the podcast much less enjoyable to listen to.
  • Rtothel
    Melrose Recap Salvation
    Watching an episode of Melrose Place then laughing along with the recap has made my Covid isolation a bit more enjoyable. I really thought I was the only person to hear the wet poot sound followed by Michael’s “Uh” in season 2 episode 17 “Michael’s Game.” But the full joy of this find of its host and producer exploding (pub intended) in this week’s episode made me climb off the elliptical laughing so hard. Keep them coming. And if you aren’t watching with them, the visual aids are a treat so look them up as well. Keep up the “pfffffft uh” good work.
  • mucheer
    I love these recaps!
    90210 and Melrose were two of my favorite shows growing up, and I love going back and rewatching the episodes and realizing how ridiculous certain things were. I live by the philosophy “I kid because I love!”, so making fun of these shows just makes me love them even more. Keep it up, ladies-you crack me up!!
  • lilstarrgazr
    Ugh
    I give a second star for the fact that they cut and interweave actual scenes from the shows into the pod and I acknowledge the work. The first couple episodes of 90210 felt funny and nostalgic. The hosts and I were laughing at the same kind of things. By the end of the first season, it was obvious that the hosts hated what they had decided to do. They hate all the characters and/or actors. They take great joy in making fun of the actors (Shannens speech, Luke being slim). Why continue doing this if you hate it. Couldn’t listen past the 4th season of recapping because the ladies became so miserable to listen to. Everything is an insult or the ninetiet thing that ever ninetied. Um...? Do better.
  • Smplylo
    I can’t
    The show is too analytical. I personally like episode reviews that are fun and a light hearted. These two seem like film snobs. Most lay people don’t know the use of terms like, continuity and adr. It’s cool those things were noticed, but I’ll be subscribing to another BH90210 podcast that’s a little less heavy. If you want a strict dry film critic perspective, this is the pod for you.
  • APB828
    You are doing a major service
    This is such a great podcast. I wasn’t allowed to watch this show due to my Felice like mom’s rules of it being full of inappropriate content. Now ~25 years later listening to this podcast has me in stitches realizing how bad these actors and characters were even though we were made to think they were righteous. I’ve had some difficult time and listening to this podcast has helped me laugh again so I thank you.
  • jessi b michigan
    Favorite pod!
    This is my favorite podcast! I can’t believe you’re almost done with the entire 90210 series. I was re-watching with you, but gave up watching episodes some time in season 7. Y’all are doing the lord’s work! I’m going to do a full re-listen after you finish the series. I love you Sarah & Tara. You make me feel like I’m hanging out with my friends. So much fun!
  • mrsarmani
    So hilarious
    They make u really laugh esp at the ridiculous parts of this show. Their hate for Brandon is esp funny although when I watched it at the time I loved him now I see where I was wrong
  • Knoxvillepixie
    Love, love, love
    Started yesterday and was literally crying laughing through the grocery store aka Joker style.
  • ShannyMac3T0
    I crack up!
    So glad I found this. I crack up while listening on my way to and from work! Thanks for this!!
  • Liger79
    My favorite podcast.
    You know something is great when you laugh out loud and you're alone. These three make every episode funny. I look forward to every one that drops. My husband is not a podcast guy- but he won’t protest if I put on the latest 40 something minutes of Sarah and Tara wittingly reminding us how terrible our role models in the 90s were. I went and rewatched the first season but quickly came to the conclusion that with help of the visual aids and recap of each episode that Again With This crew puts together, this podcast saves me hours of my life, by not having to re watch it all again. I'm embarrassed to gush to people about this podcast, because it is about 90210. It is however, so so funny, that I want everyone I know to have better walks, drives, baths, and any other activities that they do while listening. Cheers AWT and please keep them coming!
  • Flopbear27
    LOVE
    Favorite podcast ever, I’ve re-listened multiple times; this is my happy place.
  • franklin2317
    Rude
    Granted the new bh90210 is more on the dumb side especially the first episode But I love Brian Austin Green... he doesn’t support his children? 🤔 Rude comments about everything, not sure why they even are podcasting about this show🤷🏻‍♀️
  • Anom714
    Love this podcast!
    Love this podcast. I find myself re-listening to eps just like re-watchinig eps of the show. Yes they can be harsh on the show/characters but obviously it's a love to hate thing? that's how I take it & it's really a great listen. Makes work/exercise/cooking more interesting & def more fun. If you don't take this show, or shows that reviews shows, too seriously this is for you!
  • Rowan Bright
    LOVE!!
    I absolutely adore this podcast. I am finding myself making up reasons to drive so I can listen to it in the car uninterrupted. Their senses of humor and the one-liners are so perfect, and I love Dave’s little unexpected commentary. I just started listening and am already almost done with Season 1. Can’t wait to start on Melrose Place episodes!!!! I came back to edit this to say Dave interjecting the sound clips makes me ugly cry from laughter. So perfectly done!!!
  • CourtneyOLou
    Better than hate-binging the show
    I found this Podcast after Luke Perry died and I heard the host and a Special Pop Culture Happy Hour tribute episode. I was contemplating rewatching BH90210 but decided to listen to AWT instead and I’m so glad I did. This podcast has everything 90210 fans of a certain age want: great commentary, clips (so many clips!), an opportunity to revisit episodes for which you may have nostalgia. Thanks for keeping me company through preparation for and execution of a cross country move and my new favorite podcast to clean/unpack to.
  • DrChristy99
    Love it
    This is my favorite podcast. My only complaint is that they don't do more than one episode a week!
  • Renata$
    What’s the point?
    Is there anything these hosts enjoy about the shows? The answer is no. They hate the characters, dialogue, fashion, actors, set design, hookups, plots, hair, voices, families, pets, California, and the ‘90s. I dislike these two humorless hosts as much as they dislike the shows featured in the podcast they record. Listen for yourself and ask: what even is the point of this endeavor?
  • bertie425
    The Best
    I grew up watching 90210 then the reruns after college...and once again in the past decade on what was the soap channel. When I found this podcast, I was apprehensive but delighted after just a few episodes. Sarah and Tara are sophisticatedly hilarious, and I find it enjoyable to listen to another perspective. I listen to it getting ready or work, at work, in the car, etc...it always brings a smile to my face & takes my mind away from my current mid 40’s life. Tara has the best laugh I have ever heard and Sarah’s sarcasm is always on point. Thank you for this podcast!!!
  • Amo314
    Meh .... it's fine
    This show literally makes me laugh out loud at times. Other times I find their arrogance and self fawning annoying. Their idea of being woke is gushing over all of the African American actors but have little knowledge about family dynamics or abandonment and don't seem to care. They make sure to point out all of the mush mouth actors and then one said supposibly.And please stop saying I know all about addiction/alcoholism but it's just beer; that is one of the most ignorant statements that can be said. I do enjoy listening to it and every once in a while Sarah brings forwards the difference between what we thought when we initially watched it in the 1990s and how we think now. It's also laughably edited; cutting off the hosts as it goes into commercial. I do love the producer though. He cracks me up!!
  • Papaya_Eclair
    blisteringly funny commentary
    Boy oh boy do I love this podcast! I could (and do) hang out with Sarah and Tara for hours on end. I may be a bit late to the party, having only recently discovered Again With This following the death of Luke Perry, but there is no better salve for Gen Xers aching hearts then their blisteringly funny commentary.
  • WestMarinMermaid
    Helps me keep my sanity
    I am so happy you guys have a patron page now, just signed up. I have to say, I have a super busy two job work schedule. One of them being my catering company. I have a ritual with every catering job. I listen to AWT non stop while prepping and cooking. My family knows not to approach me while I’m cooking and listening to AWT. I’m convinced you guys are my good luck charm. Thank you for everything, you have no idea xoxo
  • Eileenmarathon
    My favorite podcast - best team ever!
    I only started listening to podcasts two years ago. So I thought I’d listen to some podcast based on shows I watched when I was young(er). What a gem! I love Tara and Sara and Dave so so much, that I literally had to find out Any podcast they are in. I pretty much listen to all of them now, but this one is my favorite for being able to make me laugh in the world that is not very funny these days. I feel like I know these people, and I’ll say things like “Bray it again, Bran” then realize no one I’m with understands why I’m saying it. I’ve listened all the way through season 10 and started listening again because it’s no longer just about the excellent recap, it’s about everything these amazing hosts add. Check out extra hot great and everything else they do, and I can’t believe now we get to go through Melrose Place too! Thank you guys so much - You’re the best!
  • Angrybird21
    Excellent podcast
    Loved BH90210 - it was my guilty pleasure in my 30’s. My job is pretty much monkey work for me so I started listening to podcasts. I am so freaking glad I found this one!! Didn’t know at first they were behind Television Without Pity, which was one of my favorite websites, and this podcast lives up to the true snarkiness that was TWoP. I literally giggle at my desk all day. What’s worse, I now hear Sara’s voice in my head when I’m behind idiots in the supermarket, on the road, or in the workplace. LOL And I die every time she calls Brandon or Dylan ‘Stunad’. Thank you, Sara, Tara and Dave, for making my last couple of years before retirement bearable!! And I can’t wait to hear what you do with Melrose Place.
  • lemonvernena
    Can you hear me now?
    How have these women done YEARS of talking about BH90210 (not a fan, don’t listen) and have no clue about what a podcast should sound like? If you are here for Melrose, be warned. This sounds terrible. Yikes. Like Melrose itself, a mediocre start.
  • EmmyfromBoston
    Great — but what’s happening with the audio today?
    Love you guys but Sarah and Tara sounds like they are in an echo chamber
  • LSheppard04
    Hilarious pod!
    Discovered this pod recently after they were guests on a different podcast I listen to. This podcast brings a lot of laughs and is an amazing breakdown of Beverly Hills 90210. Happy to have discovered this years later! This makes me laugh so much.
  • KW in Mesa, AZ
    The best!
    Heard about this podcast during Pop Culture Happy Hour and I love it. Tara snd Sarah’s snark drips of shade and I am so here for it! Going through the whole history now!
  • CaptivateKate
    Better than the show
    I stumbled upon this podcast a few weeks ago. Every few years I’ll binge watch 90210, but this time I wanted something different. I am so glad I randomly looked for 90210 podcasts, because this is better than I could have expected. It’s light, funny, and informative of how truly terrible this show is... yet it’s still the show I love to hate. Thank you Sarah and Tara for the fresh perspective.
