I Think You're Interesting

The entertainment industry is brimming with interesting people who are responsible for your favorite movies, TV shows, and more. Join Vox’s critic-at-large Emily VanDerWerff every Thursday as she speaks with the very well known, up-and-coming and need to know folks responsible for the most exciting projects in art, entertainment, and pop culture – diving deep into their influences, inspirations, and careers in a frank, uncensored fashion. The series finale aired in December 2018.
I’ll miss this podcast
12/21/2018
In a Vox podcast system clogged with mostly politics and news, this was a breath of fresh air. I enjoy the other podcasts, but this was the one thoughtful pop culture podcast I’ve found. Great guests, fascinating insights, and a once weekly respite from the dreadful news and politics of our time. I will miss this a lot. I hope whatever replaces it can capture the scope of I Think You’re Interesting’s ambition.
Great Interviews with a Smart Host

VanDerWerff is a really fantastic interviewer, and each episode is a great dig into the minds of the subject. I like how the show tries to get deeper than just a typical profile on an actor or writer or whatever. It’s just so well organized
Of course!

Todd VanDerWerff's fatal flaw as a writer, beyond awkward construction and a constant need for a second draft, has always been his insistence and reliance on the first person. He can't keep himself out of his reviews and articles and he's never told me anything about himself I wanted to hear. So it makes total sense that his podcast would be called "I THINK YOU'RE INTERESTING," which is not just a self-centered approach, it's also a cloying and patronizing statement. It's particularly funny that he aims that sentiment at people far more accomplished, far more talented and far better known. I Think You're Interesting? To quote Broadcast News: "Who the hell cares what YOU think?"
Boring

These guys are just boring. I miss slate’s culture gabfest. Much quicker, smarter, and more humorous and witty discussion.
