I genuinely don't know how the hosts could also be editors of a current events magazine; their reporting and commentary on culture, especially abroad, is like the literati equivalent of a teenager telling you about this hot new novel called "1894" that just dropped, or like your grandma calling you to ask if you've heard about a new interwebs virus called "TikTok."
sometimes unreasonable

Well 3 out of the 4 use reason, but Matt is just a hater that parked his reasoning in Nov 16 and Catherine & Nick can’t carry the rest of the show by themselves. And too much talking over each other !
