  • Will keep listening but,…

    Love Nina’s enthusiasm but its a bummer all Louis is able to contribute now is “right” and the occasional “oh please”. She just won’t take a breather lol the personal anecdotes/ tangents just aren’t very interesting.

  • Oh no

    The new host has really changed the heart of the show. Now there are entire segments based on the most empty pieces of pop culture such that it feels like Threads: The Podcast. I hope Louis can go back to solo hosting or a rotating group of guest hosts.

  • Give it TIME, still listening💕

    Lewis is still Bae😍 and I like Nina! I’ve been listening since the beginning too but I will NOT give up! Ira left and we’re all sad but he’s moved on and so should we. Things take TIME and I like Lewis and Nina’s relationship. Kyle B is also a fun guest host so having another one on every now and then is great too. It’s still fun to listen too because there are a MILLION podcasts and this is just another one to unwind and listen to. They’re still doing their thing and I’m glad this is still goi... more

  • How to kill a podcast in three episodes

    I’ve been a long time listener of Keep It! Since the early days. Each time I would listen, I felt like I learned something and came away a tiny bit more cultured. I loved the focus on high brow, classic movies, and refined takes. The new host was okay for the few times she hosted, but I’m not sure if she demanded more creative input or the show is just trying to include her more- whatever the case- my I.Q has dropped listening the past episodes. Are you seriously covering a sensational blip of a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Petal for Your Thoughts
Q: How hard is it to film a rom-com compared to other genres for you?
Monica explains that rom-coms combine love, humor, and chaos, and notes the importance of genuine emotional responses over stiff performance, with a focus on making the world feel alive and chaotic in a controlled way.
Full Disclosure Day with Matt Rogers and Kyle Buchanan
Q: Which Spielberg performance stands out most to you, and why?
The classic answer is Harrison Ford in the first Indiana Jones film for vulnerability and warmth, which sets a benchmark for complex heroism that the newer film doesn't meet.
Full Disclosure Day with Matt Rogers and Kyle Buchanan
Q: What's your take on the end of Disclosure Day and why it doesn't work for you?
The climactic reveal and the reaction to it feel forced and not grounded in how normal people would respond, making the final act feel more like a Banksy exhibit than a lived-in moment of newsbreaking realism.
Full Disclosure Day with Matt Rogers and Kyle Buchanan
Q: What do you think makes Olivia Rodrigo's latest album distinctive in how it blends influences?
The album feels specific and mature, signaling that Rodrigo is getting more defined as she becomes more famous, with a cleaner voice and a willingness to collaborate with artists like Robert Smith to push into alt-rock territory.
Backrooms With A View with Samara Weaving and Bryan Safi
Q: What attracted you to the role in Carolina Caroline, and how did your chemistry with Kyle Gullnur influence the performances?
Samara explains that the chemistry between the leads felt authentic and was essential to the film's energy, and that collaboration with the director and co-star allowed them to organically develop scenes, even rewriting the ending to better fit their dynamic.
