Little Gold Men by Vanity Fair

Why are they having guests join from VF that aren’t Oscar-obsessed? Anyone listening to this podcast is clearly obsessed with the Academy Awards. We don’t need to hear from “regular people” about movies.

I tried hard to be open-minded and like this after Richard and David left. I have given it a try, but this week I am parting ways. The new host is unbearable. I see Rebecca trying to keep the essence of what the show was, and I appreciate that. But after I found myself screaming out loud “this guy is terrible!” twice in a span of 5 minutes, I knew it was time to say goodbye to LGM.

Now in its 4th iteration and with Vanity Fair’s new mandate to be less critical and more frothy about film and TV, this is just not the same show it once was. They were already holding back on film reviews and criticism to keep the celeb interviews and ongoing and now it’s worse. The commentary is now made by “journalists” who are just stenographers of the awards race. Finally, not to be mean, but there are just some people who just do not have the voice for podcasts or radio.
