Format issue
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 conversation.

Leonard Maltin could be more present and could also help his daughter out more since he’s the pro.

As a result, I found a greater appreciation for the medium and have experienced some wonderful...Read full review »
