Customer Reviews
Exactly what I've been looking for!
Sharp, personal and in-depth analysis of Lovecraft Country from black women, and with amazing guests from the JUMP! I mean honestly: Courtney B. Vance, Tony Goldwyn AND director Victoria Mahoney already?!
Like a cold, sweet drink that hits the spot, this is just what I was looking for as a companion to HBO's official podcast. The interview with Victoria Mahoney especially was so enlightening! Much appreciated...
Disappointed
I’ve listened to every episode of this podcast and I’m so disappointed. The host don’t seem to A. Like the show B. Understand the genre C. Have knowledge or background about the book the show was adapted from D. Have guests (with a few exceptions) that understand the show. Their reviews miss important points from the show and they insert issues of colorism into the show a lot as if they take issue with casting choices and how characters are depicted based on skin tone. I wanted to love this podcast but I finished every episode feeling angry and disappointed. If you like the show don’t bother listening to this podcast.
Splitting hairs
One of the hosts takes this too seriously. Now she can’t tell the difference between biracial people (Leti) and white people? Way too critical in the last 3 or so episodes. She should just write her own show or quit watching for her own mental health. It’s a bit unsettling how hard she’s taking this.
