  • Not enough women

    I’ve been listening for several years- where are the interviews with women? I think it’s time to say bye bye

  • Interesting guests with an annoying host

    Sure, sure, the guests are acting icons and I’m interested in what they have to say but I find the host, Scott, more often than not annoying. First, the voice. Ugghhh! Second, he does this “mhmm.. mhmm… hmmmm” back to people like Gary Oldman or Robert DeNiro which is rather disrespectful and unprofessional. Third, what kind of a professional interviewer says constantly things like “I guess, kind of…, sort of, ummm, maybe, I think “ there are no standards in America anymore for anything.

  • Excellent

    I’m not a Hollywood follower but enjoy this podcast so much. Scott Feinburg is an excellent interviewer. He clearly does his homework and asks great questions. I learn a lot and it makes me feel more connected to the human behind the character. I highly recommend!

  • Do not give Alec Baldwin a platform

    Boohoo, am I supposed to feel bad for Alec Baldwin? He wants to retire? I bet the woman he shot and killed wants to have such problems. Why are we giving him a platform? He needs to take his fake Spanish wife and disappear. They should take the 7 brats with them. This is a topic I can't imagine anyone being interested in.
