IndieWire: Screen Talk IndieWire

This feedback seems to fall on deaf ears, judging by years of negative reviews. Anne, we love you but please let Eric complete a thought before jumping on his throat for daring to question your knowledge. Yes, you’re a Hollywood expert but the way you defend studio/award show decisions to your co-host has me side eyeing your objectivity (ex: Oscar category presentation decision). The hostile tone doesn’t help either. I continue to tune in every week, but at this point it’s an act of masochism.

For the longest time I used to be bothered about them talking over each other and Anne kinda bashing Eric. But now that Anne has been away for a bit, it’s clear that without their dynamic there is no show. And frankly Eric needs to kept in check as is very apparent when left to his own devices. So, Anne come back soon!

Lots of great industry info and hot takes, but Anne is constantly interrupting and dismissive of Eric. Sometimes he’s trying to finish a sentence (that I really want to hear) and she cuts him off and diverts the point. It must be so annoying for him and he lets it slide off him. Anne is so knowledgeable and experienced but jeez Louise, give Eric air. It is not a competition.
