“The idea of this show is solid, but I think where it tends to miss is the host treating the subject of each episode as if it’s disposable fluff. On one hand, yes, we all understand this is silly internet stuff, but if it’s 100% trivial, why do an episode? There has to be a balance of also asking an interesting question - and treating it as an interesting question. I think Candice usually achieves the first, but often fails on the second, partly because of her cutesy delivery, but also because she seems determined to make everything seem light when it doesn’t need to be. I really, really like Nadira Goffe, who manages to effortlessly bland these two things. The latest ep on the new Bad Art Friend is a perfect example - smart, incisive, confident commentary that was also funny and charming. Make her the permanent co-host! She’s what a show like this needs.”
