Amanda is insufferable
Mar 14
……… besides Amanda being insufferable, Sean is a national treasure. Thus the podcast is worth it.
Amanda Dobbins Rules!

I just saw someone insult my dear podcast friend Amanda in these reviews and had to say she is awesome and I miss her when she is on leave. We need her to balance and banter with Sean and CR. The recent Tracey Letts 1982 draft was great! It is also amazing with Zach joins and Amanda can banter with her husband and Sean.
Five people all talking at once

We love whatever you do even when it’s five people talking over each other and utterly unlistenable you’re like Linda Evangelista you can do no wrong!
Get rid of Bob

Bobby Wagner is awful. He comes across as being very arrogant. He’s really unlikeable. The podcast would be much better without him.
DOBB MOB FOREVER

I've seen several reviews bashing Amanda and I just wanted to post on here to say Amanda, you rule, don't listen to these losers. You perfectly balance out Sean and I always love hearing your takes. You keep being you The people who hate on you are clearly outing themselves as misogynistic incels with no lives. Very sad stuff
Amanda’s voice is horrible

I really would listen a lot more if it wasn’t for Amanda. Her voice and her takes are insufferable. Please replace her immediately.
Please stay on track

I don’t think the hosts realize that their ceaseless banter and call backs to inside jokes make this podcast so hard to share. I’ve tried sending episodes about pertinent films to friends and they’re left confused who Knox is and what a luxury teacup has to do with anything.
Meh

Not great- Sean and Amanda have a very strong knowledge of what they believe. A good movie is, how movies are made, and the industry in general. My frustration is in their highbrow take on things, if it’s not art house it’s not worth watching in their opinion. Her voice is the epitome of a former sorority sister who is slightly buzzed with aggressive vocal fry. they talk about their kids, inside jokes and “stuff” that have nothing to do with movies. I’m not listening anymore, I just wanted to leave an opinion because as someone who 100% supports the theater experience and spends hundreds of dollars a year in the theater, I wanted to have a more well-rounded diverse open-mindedness in their selections and opinions. I was really disappointed.
Yikes

They just called Adrien Brody’s insufferable acceptance speech a “good speech” and they “loved” his demands to turn off the music, so I can’t listen to this podcast anymore. Their takes have always been all over the place, but this is truly mind-boggling. The lack of consideration to prepare a speech is one thing, but then to demand they turn the music off was next level narcissism. And they’re praising him? This is also the guy who literally sexually assaulted Halle Berry on stage… So very out of touch.
Sean and Amanda
