Jessie ruins this show. She talks too much, over talks and interrupts the guests and has little to say that’s of any interest to the listener. Majorly irritating and grating. Let Leonard run this show!
Leonard and Jessie compliment each other perfectly in these interesting and informative interviews with each asking probing questions to their guest and getting revealing responses. There isn’t any feeling of being rushed as guests are allowed to finish their revealing replies of a life in film. These interviews are about the actors life primarily. Highly recommend
I’d love to hear more Leonard Maltin and more guest speaking, less Jessie.
I’d like to give 5 stars as Leonard is a National treasure loaded with in depth knowledge but always accessible. His questions are informed and open ended, encouraging guests to expound on their experiences. Things get derailed once Jessie enters the conversation with long winded ruminations that are all about her and all the celebs she’s interacted with. She so into her own thing that she over talked this week’s guest (legendary producer Frank Marshall) multiple times. Let your guest speak!
I had found certain parts of what I had believed to had been this "Maltin on Movies" to had been vulgar (profane), unnecessary, unprofrossional, negative, and detrimental (or certain parts that could had been prevented if only what I had believed to had been this "Maltin on Movies" had involved only one regular host (or only one Maltin; specifically the Leonard one)).
