  • Rough production, decent content. Use a noise gate before compression. The breathing and gasping noises are unbearable.

  • Target audience issue

    The show is not meant for people who actually had any graduate level education so it ends up being a show for those who lacks in any academic training but wants to feel a little pretentious. Not meant for those who even took Film Studies 101.

  • What people are willing to say this openly??

    Made it about 20 minutes into their review of The Brood (one of my favourite Cronenberg movies) before I had to nope out as one of the presenters gushed over the attractiveness of the killer of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO.

    Up until then I had genuinely thought people were only willing to express such beliefs anonymously via social media.

    V disappointing.
