United States4 months ago - Insufferable Joyce
What is with Joyce Ng’s annoying habit of naming actors only by their first names, like she hangs out with them? ( ‘Timmy’ for Chalamet…please!) she tends to dominate every discussion, and not with any discernment or wit. I loved Joey Noto’s insightful, sometimes acerbic commentary on films. She has ruined this podcast for me.
