4.0 out of 5 stars from 137 ratings
  • Embarrassingly bad

    For a podcast ran by variety it’s shocking how bad this is. From a technical standpoint the audio is horrible—cuts out, echos, volumes are uneven. Looking at other reviews it looks like that has been the case for years??

    Moderators especially Clayton are full of themselves especially when it comes to awards predictions, yet it feels like they either “predict” the consensus or every possible outcome then claim they’re right.

    Yikes—get it together variety

  • Bad audio

    Recent interview with Dwayne Johnson you can barely hear Clayton. No idea what questions are being asked.

  • Jenelle

    This podcast would be excellent if Jenelle would STOP talking all over the top of everyone else. That kind of thing is fine on occasion but she does it continuously. She has great input sometimes but her constant interjection comes off as extremely disrespectful to everyone else in the room. If she would just back it down a little.
