  • Doesn’t Live Up To Its Potential

    While probably very nice people, Peter and Lisa have zero chemistry, nor the ability to elevate a lousy guest into a decent episode. In my opinion, it’s time to either experiment with new hosts, or mercifully pull the plug. “The Enterprise Incidents” takes a similar concept and does far more with it.

  • Inconsistent

    Sometimes presents an interesting commentary with memories associated with the production of the episode from the guest.

    Other times the guests don’t seem prepared.

    In the most recent episode the guest didn’t even know they were going to be watching the episode.

    I tuned out because the conversation turned into a discussion of the guest’s views on politics and religion.

    I was hoping for a discussion of his memories directing the episode.
