  • Just like they’re from a different world.

    Katey probably loves The Studio and thinks it’s a very topical reading of our times for the nation which is a good indicator of how out of touch with anything outside of Hollywood these people are. Just an unbelievably smug host and gaggle of contributors.

  • Quit predicting

    Oscar season ruins so many podcasts. I’d rather hear Katy and Chris talk about the actual movies rather than acting like sportscasters. Oof.

  • Like this better than all the other film/tv podcasts

    I have been listening to several film and TV podcast over the last few years. A couple of them are quite good. But I was glad to stumble upon this podcast. I’ve liked every episode, which is definitely not the case with the other shows.
