Hit or miss for the episodes, but it’s the editing/audio that annoys me the most. Get a post team and a pop filter!

I’ve enjoyed listening to The Town for its interesting perspective on the intersection of commerce and art. However, Matt’s repeated derision of several Black celebrities has been increasingly off-putting. Whether it’s unconscious bias or not, it’s noticeable and frankly, disappointing. Unfortunately, this has made the podcast unenjoyable for me, and I’ll no longer be listening.

Please keep bringing on executives, distribution chiefs, and explore more on the indie film front.

I have to agree with another reviewer..he is snarky and a bit dismissive. In addition to his prickly interview style it was evident he had not done adequate research on the subject the guest was there to talk about. It’s like he just read multiple articles on the topic in the trades. There were multiple times when asking questions, he would say he’s playing devils advocate. He didn’t have to tell us, it was very obvious. When he transitioned into talking about the guest’s 2nd legal case he said ,”Now this one I have an opinion on.” Oh, jeez! Buckle up!

Why does everyone have a lisp on this pod? It’s good info but the lack of clear oratory is distracting. The only skill needed on a podcast is a clean, articulate delivery. The guests lisps are even worse. So odd.

I’ve never heard someone be more snide and self righteous about every topic. This host is painful to listen to and he’s just talking about entertainment news. They need to recast, immediately.

Just listened to the podcast on Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. To say Matt is biased against Baldoni is an understatement. His favoritism toward Lively is evident. Not to mention the fact he had little knowledge of the case and doesn’t realize the Lively has absolutely nothing to back up her claims. Baldoni is the party that had provided evidence to back his claims.

Of course this soulless show platforms Baldoni’s lawyer. Gross move by a gross show.

I love this podcast and I appreciate that Matt doesn't hang so far left on most issues and instead understands that some policies are just plain business. The interview that impressed me most was his interview with Scott Galloway about the bottom-line gains and losses of the WGA strike in 2023. Matt isn't afraid to give a platform to someone who says something unpopular with industry mouthpieces. I'm not saying Galloway was 100% correct, but I'll bet his comments will influence WGA board members in the next negotitaion, whether they admit it or not. Thanks, Matt! Love the show.

It is crystal clear by the way that Matthew speaks about animation that he doesn’t respect it as an artform. It’s an incredible shame considering that animation is a huge part of our industry and box office.
