  • Laughably Bad

    I listened to the 2024 Wish List episode and could not believe my ears. The hosts either were trying to prank me, or they have absolutely no idea what Apple TV as a platform or the company Apple as a whole are about.

  • More realism needed

    It’s not more cynicism needed, it’s more realism. Just listened to the recent podcast (argyle one) and you’d think the AppleVision product is some completely new tech. AR/VR has been around for years, Apple have just produced a nice looking one (see The Verge review for a good balanced review of it) The tech hasn’t taken off because people don’t want isolated experiences and alternative approaches are good enough without the downsides (weird thing stuck to face). Also Argyle film - total bomb at... more

Berlin ER and Immersive Arctic Surfing
Q: What do you think of the way that we meet this character, and do you have any theories about how she finds herself here?
I suspect it's going to be some sort of trauma or something that happened to Dr. Parker, possibly running away from something violent.
Berlin ER and Immersive Arctic Surfing
Q: What was your initial approach from birth to screen time?
Initially, my struggle was car rides, especially long ones, which led to my child being introduced to screens.
Prime Target, Dark Scenes, and Silo
Q: Did you have kind of a similar experience with purchasing and thinking about talking about the Vision Pro?
Yes, I've always known I wanted the first hardware from a new platform because I wanted to experience the growth of an App Store.
2024 In Review and Listener Q&A
Q: If you could bring back one TV show, which would it be?
I'd love to see Glee come back as it could provide some much-needed levity and music on TV.
2024 In Review and Listener Q&A
Q: What is the biggest marathon viewing session you've embarked on?
For me, it was Star Wars, but it was back when The Complete Saga was just the first six films. Due to the excitement, I had all my friends over and binge-watched it.
