Great analysis of Ryan Reynolds. Stories like these are important - Hollywood breeds awful people. On another note - I was surprised by the awful Kenley Collin’s interview - you’re a journalist and she just threw out accusations and screeched with no substance. I can’t stand Cohen, but this was a weird flex for the show to have such a non-vetted segment.
Why are you allowing Andy Cohen to advertise his podcasts on yours? You hate him? Kind of grossed out. Thought you were better. Ugh.
Thank you for your service, Maureen and team. Everything I see and hear that the sheep blindly swallow like they’re hypnotized, someone is finally here to call out. I feel seen and heard!
I like gossip but MC loses credibility by hating on absolutely everyone and finding the most banal details to blow up into fake scandals. Too negative.
I usually hate pop culture podcasts but I love this one. She’s hilarious and it is a wonderful light listen. I save it for the weekend!
