*When your Venice film festival correspondent says his least favorite aspect of his trip to Venice was the films that should be a massive RED FLAG….he’s commentary on the films was more focused on the already ridiculed number of minutes a standing ovation each film got as a stand in for quality.
Now in its 4th iteration and with Vanity Fair’s new mandate to be less critical and more frothy about film and TV, this is just not the same show it once was.

I have to stop listening. John is so meanspirited, smug, and rude. I can just imagine him reading all of the reviews from similar folks who have made an exodus from the pod and dismissing us as haters. But that's not what's going on here babe! You need an attitude adjustment. Such a shame
The hosts are rather average - little insight, sound young and green, uninteresting takes, no evidence of applied intellect, jump from subject to subject without exploring anything in depth
Very like... annoying... like... hosts.
John is not only slow-witted but has poor taste to boot. (Everyone else is doing their best). He has given a new favorite hate-listen in podcasting. How he made it to Vanity Fair is ludicrous. He's vapid, sketchy on facts, and has low brow taste.
Spare us all and get this guy off the pod. And perhaps a nasal strip too? Yikes.
