"This review isn’t funny, which buries the lede, because Poog is, raucously so. If you give Poog a try, prepare to draw weird looks when you crack into laughter on the bus chasing after Berlant and Novak’s virtuosic digressions, or beckon your partner to hear the uppermost pringle as perfect analogy for a classist society, or feel a little less alone when this pair of geniuses makes material out of their deepest insecurities, desires, and fears."

"...on another level—it will have you gently, gorgeously weeping with laughter and writing down in your notes app quotes...Poog feels less like a zany brunch and more like a religion. "
