“I’d like to give 5 stars as Leonard is a National treasure loaded with in depth knowledge but always accessible. His questions are informed and open ended, encouraging guests to expound on their experiences. Things get derailed once Jessie enters the conversation with long winded ruminations that...”Read full review »

“I had found certain parts of what I had believed to had been this "Maltin on Movies" to had been vulgar (profane), unnecessary, unprofrossional, negative, and detrimental (or certain parts that could had been prevented if only what I had believed to had been this "Maltin on...”Read full review »

“Don’t miss the interview with George Stevens Jr. It’s a fascinating history of AFI and Hollywood, he is so articulate, a true gentleman.
Strongly suggest Jesse not join the show or stop speaking and take a back seat.”

“I may not always agree with him (who always agrees with somebody else anyway?), but Leonard Maltin is one of my favorite film critics. His Movie and Video Guide is an invaluable resource for movie fans if only for its sheer scope. But it’s his relationship with his daughter Jesse that really...”Read full review »

“There are some occasionally interesting guests here, but: The daughter is almost unbearable. Apparently Maltins critical sense does not extent to his own family. I’m completely aware of how hurtful it might be to read something like this, but someone *has* to say it. She’s trying desperately to...”Read full review »

“Jessie is so obnoxious, always interjecting, and does anyone really care about her opinion? It’s a shame because Leonard is great and great guests. Almost unlistenable! Eliminate the daughter!”

“If you read through the bulk of these reviews, they all say the same thing- it would be better with just Leonard as a solo cast. I was one of those reviewers who’d wish that Jessie would let the guests speak. But- ya gotta commend the gal for taking notes. She’s much better at not interrupting...”Read full review »

“This is the kind of podcast you put on in times when you need warmth. Maltin on Movies is an exceptional adventure in each episode where I learn more about an artist I love, or an aspect of the film world that I never knew existed.
They are fans of each of their guests, and hold so much...”Read full review »

“Leonard Maltin is a legend in the film critic area. I started listening to this podcast initially because I used to watch Mr. Maltin on Entertainment Tonight. I respect his opinion. When the show started, the format was interesting: Baron Vaughn and Leonard would select an actor, or a genre, and...”Read full review »

You two should know better & at least offers some supplemental material...”Read full review »

Then I listened - and what a wasted opportunity. Leonard and Jeanine are old friends so it’s a shame Leonard forgot there was an audience...”Read full review »

“I agree that this show could be great, but isn’t. It’s partly Jesse, but more than that it’s the lack of structure in this “shoot the breeze” format.
She’s clearly trying to bring her love and knowledge of movies (and her dad) into the interview, but she doesn’t really add much to the...”Read full review »

“As so many others have observed, Jessie constantly interrupts the guests — and her father. If she weren’t Leonard’s daughter, she would have been dismissed from the podcast long ago. Leonard also speaks too much, frankly, but at least he’s legit with regard to film history. However, listen for...”Read full review »
