I had read the book once upon a time and thought it was decent enough, so I thought I’d give this a try. The episode is 41 minutes. The first 15 minutes “FIFTEEN!!!” minutes of this podcast was ads and him telling me about the patreon page. I thought Amazon did too many ads. The next 13 minutes were dedicated to letters written in, where the guy proceeds to tell me more about his patreon page and how great it is. Finally, with about 12 min left he says let’s talk about Ellen rimbauer. He then spends about 5 min reading the wiki page and then another few minutes just summarizing the plot. With 5 min left we finally get his thoughts. It’s a movie. It’s not good. It’s not bad. It just is. 90 seconds of “analysis” out of a 41 min podcast. And it’s only 90 seconds because he spends the last 3:30 talking about his upcoming podcasts , and, of course, the patreon page. How this podcast has a 4.7 rating is beyond me. He spent more than half of the actual “review” reading off of Wikipedia. UnreaI. I almost gave it 2 stars just for the audacity but then I thought better of it. There are so many better podcasts that actually talk about the topic they say they are going to talk about.
