I found one speaker has much louder sound compares to the other two. Make it hard to listen to. I have to turn the volume up and down a lot.

Only listened to the brutalist episode, but I don’t how three separate people could miss the mark on a movie so badly. Hopefully you all are better at interpreting architecture than you are at understanding movies. No sense of history, no appreciation of filmmaking/acting as a craft, and a complete inability to think critically about what the film could be conveying beyond what is being presented on the screen. It’s like the movie was on in the background while you scrolled your phone. Honestly the episode was so frustrating to listen to that I had to post this.

So everyone agrees…thrilling. Intellectuals should avoid.
