Interview was good but could have used better audio on Eric. Opening banter had way too much of Greg’s juvenile teasing of Rebecca. I will listen to episode 2 in hopes of improvement. Update: nope. All episodes show why they are actors…they don’t know how to freely banter without scripts. She laughs constantly. So sad. Could’ve been a contender.
