When did everything become a review?

This week, Bret and Josh get into the rise of rating everything — from restaurants and products to national parks, movies, and even life itself. What started as a helpful tool has somehow turned into a full-time habit.

They break down what reviews actually help (and which ones are completely useless), why written reviews still beat star ratings, and how things like hiking trails, Airbnb stays, and even sugar-free gummy bears have all entered the rating economy.

Along the way: Busch Gardens, Cedar City food hunts, movie takes, and the realization that not everything needs a score.

Because at some point… you have to stop reviewing things and just live them.

When did everyone become an expert on everything… immediately?

Bret and Josh cover a little bit of everything this week — from 5AM track meets and roller coasters at Busch Gardens, to business trips in Europe and the universal ability for people to have strong opinions on things they just learned about.

They unpack how we went from thinking things through… to reacting in real time — whether it’s breaking news, gas prices, or whatever’s blowing up online.

Also: why you should trust Josh on the Denver Broncos roster… but maybe not global geopolitics.

The real question — are we actually forming opinions… or just reacting faster than ever?

This week we talk reboots, remakes, and why Hollywood keeps reopening stories that already had an ending.

From Top Gun getting it right to Jurassic Park, Karate Kid, and the growing list of revived shows like Scrubs (and the potential of a Knight Rider..wha???) and other 80s/90s TV favorites, we ask why some reboots work while others feel completely unnecessary.

At what point does bringing something back honor the original… and when does it just feel like Hollywood ran out of ideas?
