I disagree with everything you’ve ever said and likely I will disagree with everything you ever say, Dan Kois. Except when you hate something.
Dana is mostly too generous with mainstream films and too fawning on the indie stuff, but she’s 100% right when she hates something.
This review may say more about me than the show, but you’ve read it and there’s nothing either of us can do about that now.
Marissa Martinelli, Inkoo Kang and Heather Schwedel — who are these people?! One has a 12yr-old voice in a cartoon, with a constant upward inflection, and another says “like” ever other word. It’s a pity because once they’ve calmed down they actually have something to say. Except that they never understood what the foxes symbolized.
Do all the hosts watch the whole movie being discussed? I listened to “Joker” and one of the hosts sounded like he was just making stuff up, he revised two major plot points that would have been very hard to miss. At least watch the whole movie if you’re going to talk about the whole thing....
I love to hear absolutely everything about movies even those I will never see. Spoilers also don’t spoil things for me. So this show seems to be tailor made for me and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Unfortunately at the end of the first episode I saw the hosts announced that the show was going on hiatus?!?!
I just signed up for Slate plus for Dear Prudence and this was one of the first other Slate podcasts that I loved. Don’t get rid of it!
One thing : commercial breaks. I have Slat... more
Please come back! I love Dana Stevens and her methodical breakdown of movies I’m too scared or busy to see but want to know all about. Guests discussions flow so well and the banter back and forth is engaging. They are currently on hiatus? (2023) and I can’t find anything comparable. Other spoiler podcasts are just not the same. I’m going back and listening to the wonderful back log of episodes from 2006 so I am praying that by the time I catch up to present day that they will be back!!
