Customer Reviews
Love it but... needs to be better about spoilers
Great great podcast with an excellent, engaged and entertaining panel (big Joanna Robinson stan here). HOWEVER they really gotta be more careful about spoilers in the future. For instance, Uncut Gems has only been out for a few weeks in the states, and hasn’t even been released yet here in Canada, and they (without warning) totally spoiled the ending in the last episode, which is a huge bummer considering that I’ve been looking forward to seeing that film for months. Anyway, love the pod!
No more Katey!
Boo! Dead boring without her. Not worth listening to.
Really Disappointed with Conde Nast
Hi, I’ve been listening to this podcast since I was in high school (I’m now a college graduate with a full time job) I just wanted to express my extreme disappointment with the news of Katey’s layoff.
Throughout the years, my love of this podcast, specifically Katey’s thoughtful insights into awards season, has led me to support the magazine through both digital subscriptions, purchasing physical copies of issues, and proudly wearing vanity fair merch.
Katey’s the total heart and soul of this show. She is an amazing host so talented and skilled at what she does, totally unmatched. To say this decision is profoundly disappointing is an understatement. I will not be listening to any additional episodes or continuing to support VF in anyway.
