  • A little care and attention please!

    Please research your guests before you interview them. The number of misstated shows, characters, etc. is insane.

  • Good show but too quiet.

    Good show. But you could do something about the sound quality.

    Voices are very quiet. Maybe speak about closer to the mic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sally Field on Dogs and Doubtfire
Q: What attracted you to Remarkably Bright Creatures, Sally?
I was drawn to the film's heart, the gentle humor, and the chance to explore grief and connection through an unlikely friendship with the octopus, which gave the story a universal warmth.
Amanda Seyfried talks Ann Lee and Mean Girls
Q: Why do you think Mean Girls has continued to have such a life?
I think it's just like, it's saying what everybody's thinking in a very unique way. It's taking down the bullies in the cleverest way.
Amanda Seyfried talks Ann Lee and Mean Girls
Q: Looking down your filmography, I could see how it might be [the hardest thing you've ever done]?
Yeah, yeah, I think it's up there with Mank. In terms of the challenge of playing the character, portraying this particular type of person, it did feel so foreign to me at first.
Amanda Seyfried talks Ann Lee and Mean Girls
Q: Was it hard to get this off the ground?
It was really fricking hard... people were just puzzled, really puzzled. It was very difficult.
Jean-Luc Godard, Scary Primates and the unstoppable rise of YouTube
Q: What do you think about the challenges faced with misinformation in online media?
While the ease of creating content is positive, there are concerns about accountability and the blurring lines between verified and unverifiable sources.
