“Oh, everyone's a critic. Even those who have no idea about what they're critiquing. This is a cultured panel, but seemingly cultureless outside the realms of pretention. I'd love to believe they could have a well-rounded education in all-things cultural, but when they bag on George Carlin in the wake of his death without understanding the cultural impact he had on the future of comedy, they lost me.

They work at Slate. I'm just disappointed they're dullards.”Read full review »

“The reviewers tend to overanalyze popcorn movies to the point that all the enjoyment is gone. Additionally they are pretty elitist and tend to think that anything popular is bad unless it is something they like personally. There is some good information there, but overall the personalities are...”Read full review »
