  • The Kennedy’s

    I so enjoyed hearing about the great work Rory Kennedy is doing through film and truth telling.

    It’s unfortunate her brother has taken a different path than the rest of her family of doing “goodwill through good works” for the betterment of society.

    Thank you! ✌🏽

  • Mostly anodyne, often boring

    The host said it should feel like “we’re all at brunch together screaming” (which is already an incredibly tired concept). The interviews lack focus, the reviews aren’t revelatory, and the chitchat isn’t charming or funny. The first 3 episodes of “Obsessed” are about a 5 year old sitcom (way to stay current), Isaac Mizrahi (hot off his latest runway show … in 1998), and a documentary about Chevy Chase (a cast member from SNL 50 years ago!). If my friends were screaming about Abott Elementary and... more
