“for the most part, i enjoy this show
the west side story episode, however, rubbed the the wrong way a little bit. i feel like it was VERY lacking in hispanic/latino perspective. the racial element of west side story is a HUGE focus in these films, especially the spielberg version and the nuance actors like ariana debose bring to their performances in the film. but
in this podcast episode, it only got a few passing mentions.
i wish they would have had a latinx guest who would have contributed their perspective, or even read some other source or article that discussed it. there was so much missing from their conversation, with kaveh even admitting he had no idea if the lincoln center was real or fictional, and saying that west side story did not warrant a remaking because in the heights already exists. overall, just felt really dismissive of the racial nuances of the story and i feel like they should have done a lot more research as well as presented some of the puerto rican perspective. it is a central theme of west side story, and it shouldn’t have been an afterthought.”

Katherine Howard esp gets it a Lot. Also...”Read full review »

i didn’t expect this...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a long time fan of Lindsay’s since her Nostalgia Chick days and have been following her since. Listening to this podcast has been an absolute treat and I Lindsay’s sharp wit with Kaveh’s dry sense of humor. I hope there will be many more episodes to come! Great job you guys!”
