Granted, I’ve only listened to the Tim McGraw / Faith Hill interview because I LOVED 1883. The host does not listen well, asking Tim repeatedly about Season 2 and about Broadway, after Tim has already answered the questions. Tim was very nice about it, but I lost patience. And then the host...Read full review »

...ever not mention his husband? LOL Seriously, though, this competent celebrity journalism. If I’m interested in the guest I tune in.

The Big Ticket has been one of my favorite series to listen to during the pandemic. Marc’s childlike wonder and genuine interest in each of the interviewees is wonderful. Thanks for spreading a little positivity.

Great guests but two problems: sometimes can’t hear the interviewer’s questions OR the interviewer is too loud and can’t hear guest’s responses . Also, and this is a bit snarky, but Interviewer also sounds so much like The Cookie Monster from Sesame Street that at first I thought he was doing an...Read full review »

The new host of this show seems more interested in tabloid-bait questions (“which avenger was a stripper?”) than actual thoughtful questions. Additionally, he has a quieter voice which alone is fine, but get the man a microphone that will pick up his voice! I had been ok with ignoring this new,...Read full review »

Playback with Kris Tapley was amazing. Whatever this is.....isn’t.

This is supposedly a professional podcast with an industry view. Yet that’s no longer the case with the new host. See that good rating? (4 stars at the time of my review). That’s due to the previous host. If you look at the recent reviews, you will see this podcast rates 1-2 stars at best....Read full review »

Would have loved to listen to the rest of the Keanu episode but turned it off after a spoiler in the first 5 min

I loved Kris Tapley's podcasts. His in-depth knowledge and questions for his guests were a film lovers dream. Marc Malkin who seems to have replaced Kris Tapley is an enormous let down. His star struck childish giggling, his tabloid superficial repetitive questions are a wasted opportunity to...Read full review »

Malkin is a good host I enjoy his interviews and can’t wait for more!

Playback had: a professional host with real opinions and sometimes challenging questions for guests; interesting interviews with filmmakers that spotlighted sometimes mostly-ignored movies; amazing, funky theme music. Big Ticket has: a host with intolerable giggling that asks weak surface-level...Read full review »

I really like this podcast , very interesting and not the usual questions put to the guests, a nice honest fun podcast with great content.

Nothing personal, I just want to have Kris Tapley back or at least a reason for the change.

Nothing personal to Malkin just stating my belief

Lazy interviewer. 3 podcasts and 9 interviews 1 set of questions. Even the actors sounded bored. His speaking voice was muffled in some of the interviews. I can only hope this gets better.

If you can’t bring Tapley back, then y’all need get this new interviewer to stop asking STUPID QUESTIONS! Scarlett Johansson is a grown woman who’s been acting for 15-20 years and he’s going to ask her a childish, immature question about having sex with the Hulk?! How old is this spaz?! How dare...Read full review »

It’s only the first episode with the new host/format, but the first Endgame conversations feels much more guarded and commercial than past Playback episodes. This feels much more like sponsored content that I access at arm’s length as opposed to the intimate conversations that would make me feel...Read full review »

It’s amazing how great the access to talent is, while simultaneously hard to understand it can be thanks to terrible mic issues. A little cash for production value would take this to a 5star rating in a heartbeat.

I listened to multiple episodes & really enjoyed hearing the interviews as well as the awards conversations that happened in earlier episodes. All of that enjoyment ended when I went back & listened to the episode where they discussed the then upcoming release of the film Birth of a...Read full review »

I stumbled upon this podcast after the Jonah Hill episode was released. I think I was linked here from Twitter. After I listened to the great conversation lead by great questions from Kris Tapley, I went and download all of the past episodes. This podcast should be way more popular than it is....Read full review »

After seeing Blackkklansman made me curious to learn more about the cast. Fantastic find. Keep up the great work—and thanks!

Is a wet blanket personified.

The interviews are solid. Kris does a nice job of getting them relaxed and talking honestly about their work. His questions could be more challenging and focused, and better-prepared, but the interviews are interesting, nonetheless. When the hosts start talking about the Oscars it’s almost...Read full review »

I’d give it 5 stars if the audio levels were paid attention to. Kris is a great interviewer and has a very laid back sense about him.

In light of the womens movement sweeping Hollywood and culture at large, I am extremely disappointed to see that out of the 60 or so podcasts listed, less than 10 are with women. Bummer. Especially since it is hosted by a woman.Just another example of how our culture is still overwhelmingly...Read full review »

I enjoy these talks between artists discussing their projects, career, and other artists. All spearheaded by knowledgeable & passionate artists at Variety.

Very good Podcast. Please more.

This is hands down one of the most professional interview podcasts that covers filmmakers and the like in Hollywood. Smart, insightful, and very entertaining stuff.

I only listen to episodes with guests I'm interested in, but the ones I've listened to I've enjoyed. Overall, a solid podcast.Read full review »
