Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 9.1k ratings
  • Trashy story about Hollywood

    I don’t think the details associated with “intimacy coaches” and their methods for Hollywood actors making R rated movie scenes qualifies as beneficial reporting.

    There are better elements of culture to highlight.

    This is the same NPR that begged for donations after federal funding was pulled.
