“I have listened to several AfterBuzz podcasts & really want to like them, but there is just something about the format and the hosts that is just not working. Just when you think they are finally getting into some decent analysis of a storyline, they stop to plug themselves or beg for iTunes reviews. It makes the whole show disjointed & messes up the entire flow. If you really must do these every episode, get it all over with at the beginning of the episode & then just focus on your recap. It also seems many of the hosts are just people on the fringe of the entertainment industry, trying to break in & not really fans of the show. They miss obvious plot points & don't seem to know what is going on! Sometimes I wonder if we are even watching the same show!
I just finished listening to the premier episode for season 3 or Revenge & it was a hot mess! Maybe the hosts need some extra time to actually watch the episode a 2nd time because so much of their discussion was pointless because they totally missed dialouge that the hosts ended up focusing on so much so it made them sound so uninformed! Hello....Charlotte lost the baby! Victoria actually said that out loud, so all the speculation about did she have an abortion, did she have the baby & give it up for adoption just sounded so ridiculous!
I love the idea of AfterBuzz podcasts but the hosts that can't comprehend what they watch week in & week out, plus the disjointed format with all the shameless self promotion is just making these shows very hard to listen to!”
