Indiewire: Screen Talk Indiewire

Please pay attention to the volume control. Quite often, it gets really hard to hear what they are saying. The volume of their voices keep switching between extremely loud in one moment and then too small even with the highest volume setting. I’m not sure if it’s because they are moving away from a mic, or sound editing is not good. Whatever the reason is, it’s really annoying to constantly adjusting volume!

The best way I’ve found to keep up-to-date with current events in film on both a micro and macro scale. Genuinely get so excited every time a new episode is released.

Not worth your time, folks. The Big Picture (The Ringer) does a similar pod and executes it MUCH more professionally and enjoyably.

Here, the hosts are so obsessed with making sure that their points are heard that they interrupt and talk over each other to the point where you literally can’t even make out what they’re saying. I don’t know if they’ve deluded themselves into thinking their audience appreciates the banter — we don’t. I came for insights, which have been rendered unintelligible by way of oneupmanship. Seeing as how this is th number one complaint on the rest of the iTunes reviews, the hosts clearly do not give AF about the listener (your) experience. Why give them any attention when they’ve proven how little they care about their listeners? A great majority of the blame can be attributed to Anne Thompson, but Eric Kohn certainly has his moments too.

Again, steer way clear of this one, people.
