In that it’s not lazy, it’s not afraid to be smart or critical and it’s actually good journalism.

Canada3 months ago - Always Compelling
Always compelling with thought provoking conversations between the hosts and between them and their top notch guests. I particularly enjoy the thematic episodes on things like Melodrama or the adaptations of Stephen King’s work (though my favourite Salem’s Lot didn’t get a mention). Always compelling, so long may this podcast continue.

Ellen’s opinions are sometimes predictably cynical .. is it a Gen Z or a Millennial thing? Much is judged through the lens of hindsight, decades of internet discussion and general frustration with our devolving society.
Understandably so, and her viewpoint is still crucial. Agreed or not, her takes are always thoughtful and rele... more
