  • A shame

    This podcast has gone way downhill since Vanity Fair let go of Richard Lawson and David Canfield. Glad Rebecca is still there but the new co-host is abysmal. Unsubscribing because of John Ross.

  • I think I’m done here

    John is actively damaging the show with his self-satisfied vapidness. He takes up so much space while offering nothing insightful.

    This show has become unlistenable. Don’t know who thought Lawson’s wit, knowledge, & insight would be improved upon with John Ross’ interruptions and blather, but, boy were they wrong.

Zendaya Is the Moment. Here's Why.
Q: What makes Zendaya such a remarkable star right now?
Her combination of talent across singing, acting, and dancing, plus a strategic fashion presence and disciplined project choices, makes her stand out as a rare, four-quadrant star who can lead both prestige drama and big franchise projects.
Catching Up On This Season of TV
Q: Joy, is there anything you've noticed when it comes to sort of the narrative of TV this year so far based on the shows that have been popping or not working?
Joy points to a shift toward genre-heavy shows like mysteries and thrillers, a nostalgia for comfort-food TV like The Pit, and a movement where networks are balancing ambitious storytelling with broad appeal to attract and retain viewers, signaling a quieter but more selective TV landscape than peak TV.
Mailbag! Plus, What that BAFTAs Moment Means For Sinners
Q: How did the broadcast choices affect the perception of the incident?

Mailbag! Plus, What that BAFTAs Moment Means For Sinners
Q: What's your take on the BAFTAs moment and whether it changes the Oscars landscape for Sinners?

We Have A Race! How the PGA and Actor Awards Turned Everything Upside Down
Q: Did you take away anything from the PGA watching from afar?
