I totally agree with this, as an unrepentant phone scroller, I really miss too much character work to do it during this show
Sounds like this person wasn't actually watching the show. As this article clarifies, the plot and character development all happen with actors facial expressions. Which means if you're scrolling on your phone, you're missing it all.

me and the basketball sickos of philadelphia can all contribute to this project imo
If you are near Philadelphia, have 123 dollars, and roughly 28 cubic feet of space to store 1,600 VHS tapes in reasonably climate controlled conditions until I can get up there, I will retrieve this collection of almost guaranteed vital archival value and digitize its entirety.

This was a worthwhile critique of media that depicted gay men as sexless accessories for the self-actualization of straight characters, but it makes no sense applied to a show exclusively dedicated to the story of two hot dudes who love fucking each other.

okay but it's so funny to refer to the performances in Heated Rivalry as "wooden" it's like tell me you have never met hockey players before without telling me you've never met hockey players before. it's a show as much about the broad strokes of hockey culture as it is a romance

New episode of the #PodKaz is out. And if watching on YouTube is your thing, we're doing that now too

And if you’re wondering where to start, ask me or literally any other romance reader, we love to recommend books!

And ask for recs. I read A LOT. Like 200 books this year a lot. And they're basically all romance. And has been for years.

And it's so great to be in a moment where it doesn't feel like people will be jerks when I say that (not admit it - it's not a dirty secret)
If you're watching Heated Rivalry and thinking, "Holy shit there's all this sex and pleasure and fun and yearning and character exploration and I think they might figure it out and find happiness, is this even legal???" I am begging you to start reading genre romance, you are going to be thrilled!

Sorry, this was about soccer. Volleyball being this late is bad, but also not outdoors.

I just saw that FIFA is awarding a brand new peace prize that it will award at the World Cup draw on Dec. 5 in DC, and there's what, a 1% chance this award wasn't created to appease Trump by giving it to him first?

If you had strong feelings about Qatar hosting the World Cup, now’s your time to shine when it comes to critiquing FIFA and Infantino’s latest coddling of authoritarianism.
