    Struggle session helps the shift go by. Top shelf.
  • El Phantsmo
    Great show but…
    … too many intrusive ads
  • LeftistTechBro
    Great pop culture show
    Just good takes
  • Expat2006
    This podcast saves me money
    Both of the guys bring something to table. I appreciate their honest takes and weeding through the endless movies, streaming, and tv shows so I spend my precious time and money on media I’ll actually enjoy. Thanks guys!

    What Equal Talent!
    Leslie is great… and so is Jack!
  • pantsmafia
    Unequal talent
    Leslie’s great but Jack has nothing to offer.
  • Dave Salman
    Excellent excellent show
    Don’t listen to the grimy haters, Struggle Session is an awesome show with astute commentary and analysis of movies and pop culture, plus the hosts have great rapport and are fun to listen to. You’ll find out about lots of great new stuff.
  • NicknamesAreDumbLA
    Bad
    Relentlessly negative and contrarian. Bizarre takes. Just seem like nasty people to be around.
  • Iusefender
    Good lefty media podcast
    Not many places you can turn to for insightful commentary on American culture and politics from a truly leftist perspective. Highly recommended for the freaks and geeks
  • Berniebro rick
    Leslie and Jack are amazing
    Been listening to these guys for a long time. Great perspectives on all great issues in our media and culture and world….do a live show in Dallas guys!!
  • KassieZ
    Terrible Name
    Extremely poor choice in podcast names. Creators, maybe you should have googled it before making it your brand.
  • diegbro Munzo
    First time; long time
    The show has ebbed and flowed over the years and sometimes the media they talk about isn’t exactly aligned with my tastes but for my money the Sesh is among the best of the best.

    I want a dollar for every time you say "like"
    Horrible communicators. All of them use the speech crutch "like" over and over and over. I can't listen.

    Great
    Great podcast!

    Great podcast
    Just found you guys a few days ago. Been working my way through your episodes. The 300 episode was great. Really enjoying the conversation. Jonathan from Silver Screen Video Podcast
  • fishstolen
    One of my fav podcasts
    I am a long time subscriber to their Patreon. I highly recommend you check out this podcast. Been way better since they got rid of that third host.
  • aredax
    great podcast!
    and LLIII doesn’t have a trust fund!
  • The Dead Pets
    Listened on a whim and loved it ever since
    Just skip this review and just listen to the Batman V Superman episode and the episode of Jack reading Movie Bob’s book. It’s been really cool to see Struggle Session grow over the last few years. I don’t always agree with Jack and Leslie but they are always entertaining and insightful. The addition of Shannon, Emma and Hether as correspondents was a great choice and really helps break up the different types of episodes and create a unique feel for the different types of media they cover. Highly recommend signing up for the bonus feed through their Patreon, most of my favorite episodes are from there. I’m not a shill, just sincere 🤗

    You’re reading Quibbi?
    This is what counts as critique these days? The people who run this podcast couldn’t run a lemonade stand never mind a business.
  • Cantucky
    Trust-fund revolutionaries!
    It’s nice that rich suburban kids finally have a voice! See you at the breadlines, comrades! (Kidding, they won’t be there. Rich people die warm in their beds!)
  • JCB___
    The best
    My favorite show to listen to where I disagree with the host’s pop culture takes like 95% of the time. Politics always on point though
  • bjpcolo

    sorry
  • Anonymous Fan (AF)
    Thanks for the free 30 day patrion trial
    They hooked it up. Although I disagree with ESB being the second best Star Wars movie, I love the show. And they are stand up guys.
  • dogbertland
    Can’t get past the name
    “Struggle session” refers to a method of torture used during the Cultural Revolution, which often resulted in the victim committing suicide. Would you listen to a podcast called “concentration camp?”
  • kaiseronarolla
    It’s all previews
    I like show but like do you guys ever post full shows here? It’s all previews for patreon content.
  • MikeyND87
    Pretty good
    It’s ok. I can’t afford to see all These first run films, and do not have the financial ability to have all the streaming services they cover, so I might get to listen to 1 in every 10 episodes. leftist podcast that utterly depends on capitalism and exploitation for content. Make more guest appearances on podcasts I’ll actually listen to!!
  • HESSEL plisken
    Excellent thinkers
    I especially love Leslies takes on “problematic” faves. It’s okay to be ambivalent about the entertainment that you enjoy, I cannot recommend this enough. They always have amazing if not outstanding takes.
  • Moakmatulak
    Snooze
    Came here for the leftist takes, was excruciatingly disappointed by literally every one of jack and leslies opinions on everything. There is no actual leftist analysis happening in any of these podcast, either free or patreon subscribed. They’re unfortunately elevated by other podcasts who also tend to have bad takes but are at least fun to listen to. Skip for sure.
  • corn shorts
    S-tier podcast
    If it’s endorsed by the chippa, you know it’s a good show

    Y I K E S
    Someone just retweeted a clip of these people into my feed, and having heard of the podcast before and needing new stuff to listen to, I listened to it to see if I might like the show. It's from a patreon thing where they read from someone's memoir, making fun of the guy's grandmother dying. I mean...I can't even put into words how pathetic and mean-spirited this is. What can I say but yikes?
  • Gi buttersnaps
    You don't have to
    Agree to listen
  • Ghostface986
    Positive vibes
    First people I’ve heard not crapping on this game. It seems people are becoming more and more set in there ways about games. I relish in the weird, and the different. “Pallet cleansers” are my jam. Great podcast. This game made me want to listen to podcasts.
  • josieh
    Trash
    If you’re looking for garbage takes on everything from pizza to David Fincher from a bunch of closet INCELs you’ve found your new favorite show.
  • lord jamon
    Worthless
    Show is boring and the hosts are smug and not funny. Total garbage
  • Mazirian the mag
    Smart guys
    Good stuff 👍
  • Awesome podcast!
    Great Pod!
    Love this pod, the hosts are great!
  • rdp_not_a_bot
    I'll check it out again in 6 months
    I see the popentioal for a show I'd enjoy but the guest commentators are frustratingly lackadaisical. The Akira episode was the one that broke me. But I will come back in a few months to see how things have changed.
  • tehcid
    Community is a good show
    Community is a funny show! Escapism is good
  • mrposit

    Yuhhh
    Doods!! Fn love the show! I’m trying to become a Patreon but the website won’t let me:( love you guys!
  • YeahsYeahYeahs
    dude fired the cohost for being critical of identity politics on reddit and lied about it
    what a lame.
  • fleshandbrand.com
    Pop culture with a leftist twist
    Love this podcast. I’m an action and horror fan, love pop culture and I’m a socialist, so this podcast blends three of my favorite subjects at once. Insightful searing pop culture and political pundit commentary.
  • mammaldodging
    Struggle stressin
    Great politics, bad takes, what’s not to love
  • Mike0887
    Good podcast
    Although older podcasts were better. Modern podcasts aren’t as good as the ones from back in the day because today’s podcasts aren’t old.
  • ATomSrrvo118
    Great Show Lads!
    One of the only good pop culture podcasts in existence. These dudes know their stuff.
  • jonbruh
    appease the algorithm
    hail the all mighty algorithm
  • An Aspiring Neuron
    Fun socialist podcast
    Love these dudes! Hope they can keep this going for a while.
  • 5er syop
    Fun, relatable, and unique
    This podcast is a breath of fresh air. While other podcasts in this american life have become pundits gauging the success or failure of pop culture or paid commentary, these guys actually like the stuff they talk about in the here & now. All things considered, it’s a great show.
