Customer Reviews
The implicit racism is baffling, also Giving takes when they haven’t watched it
I was listening to the most recent pod 35 under 35. One the disrespect to Justice smith and his acting by Amanda was appalling especially when she hasn’t watched the things he’s been in. He’s a great actor. Two their take on Lessons in Chemistry when neither of them have watched it and the watch only covered like 4 episodes maybe. While the show itself to other people besides the cynics on this podcast was a major hit. Also just the lack of people of color in this list and the lack of them covering/even watching smaller films is annoying to me.
They don’t watch any small good films on streaming platforms. And I feel a good idea for some pods would be to cover actor/actress movies that are a blind spot for them and dedicate a specific pods to these actors that they easily dismiss and give no credit to, (ahem Amanda, cough cough).
Sorry it’s really grinding my gears the implicit racism of this pod constantly. And the way Amanda says thing as if they’re fact and they are not.
Pompous, Empty Calorie Hackery
not a drop of critical analysis. sean doesn't have any idea what he's talking about but thinks because he his billionaire friend started a media company, his cut-and-paste-from-former-obama-staffer-twitter opinions hold more weight than any other C-list media hack
great pod but taylor swift?!
we’re really putting taylor swift in 35 under 35…. someone bring us back to grace
