“Kermode clearly knows his stuff, can be insightful and sometimes very entertaining but he dumbs down too much in this show (his other output is far sharper). But the BBC is utterly mad if it doesn’t do something with Robbie Collin, who is a stunningly articulate reviewer. He has such a pinpoint accuracy of language, amazing descriptive powers AND wit (which dare I say much is cleverer than Kermode’s, who may just have been in the game too long?) I loved the most recent episode with RC and Ben Bailey Smith - they had a great dynamic together. Except it cut off at the end, bad producers! 😠 Please give Robbie a podcast. I’d listen to him all day. But please don’t ask back Clarissa, she struggles to string sentences together.”
