Interviews: still really bad.
As a massive Ghostbusters fan I’ve tried again to listen to the podcast. I gave up some time ago as Simon’s interview episodes are painful to listen to. Part Alan Partridge / part Headteacher; not listening to the guests, cringe worthy questions & generally being toe curling bad. Listening to the Ernie Hudson & Gil Kenan episodes nothing’s changed; in fact it’s got worse. From name checking the wrong film to Ernie Hudson, completely getting characters wrong (Walter Peck was never mayor) & then the ultimate in Partridge statements; telling Ernie Hudson he’s ‘really glad’ he ‘exists’. I can’t understand why any film studio would let Simon anywhere near their press junkets - most of his questions are either a) totally loaded or b) bear no relation to the film being discussed. I thought the Kermode interview was bad but these were absolutely painful.
