Love Erik. Not a fan of Amanda at all.
Erik is cool. His website is pretty easy to navigate. I value his opinion. I like how they rank their predictions and give background and historical reasoning on their predictions. My BIG issue with this podcast and most awards prediction coverage is the lack of diversity. This lack of diversity can lead to insensitive comments as undervaluing certain individuals. On this podcast in particular, Erik doesn’t have a problem discussing race but Amanda clearly gets uncomfortable. She also makes micro aggressive comments and discounts Black and other POC nominees. Luckily, Erik checks her most of the time. For example, for a lot of the When They See Us nominees she says stuff like “they will just be happy to be nominated”. What? Some of these nominees have a great chance. Or when she said “we are tired of hearing Mahershala Ali give speeches” um girl, why? Very passive and micro aggressive. Would she say that about Coleman or Rockwell who might be giving speeches almost to back? Probs not.
