So Many Commercials

Four commercial breaks in a 27 minute podcast? What on earth. Also why is everyone so world weary all the time? Dana Stevens hates every movie she’s ever seen and everyone uses the word “edge lord” too much

Great Show

I disagree with everything you’ve ever said and likely I will disagree with everything you ever say, Dan Kois. Except when you hate something.

Dana is mostly too generous with mainstream films and too fawning on the indie stuff, but she’s 100% right when she hates something.

This review may say more about me than the show, but you’ve read it and there’s nothing either of us can do about that now.

Fleabag episode

Marissa Martinelli, Inkoo Kang and Heather Schwedel — who are these people?! One has a 12yr-old voice in a cartoon, with a constant upward inflection, and another says “like” ever other word. It’s a pity because once they’ve calmed down they actually have something to say. Except that they never understood what the foxes symbolized.
