Forrest Wickman is an absolute doughnut
I recently listened to the Blade Runner 2049 Spoiler Special in an attempt to find a substitute for the lack of one from Empire Magazine. I was encouraged to see that Dana Stevens was hosting this episode and hoped that I would listen to a detailed account of the film and some interesting perspectives, unfortunately this was not the case. Dana was absolutely fine and mostly posed questions rather than giving her take (therby fulfilling her position as host), and Sam Adams explained his opinion well and gave an honest perspective, but Forrest Wickman is a clown and really let the podcast down. I have no idea how I managed to get through 40 minutes of Forrest (somehow culture editor at Slate) interjecting with his nonsense about this film. He repeatedly made very odd statements without backing them up with any sort of explanation, normally trailing off into incoherence. Whilst the film wasn't perfect by any means for me, (8/10) I do feel like Forrest had it in for this movie. Not sure I can remember one positive take from him on what is by no means a bad film. His criticism of Villeneuve was particularly funny. Hope this podcast improves by removing him from the show.Read full review »

I don't often watch movies in the theater but I like for them to be spoiled beforehand so I know what I'm getting into. I am so thankful for this podcast for convincing me to see movies I have loved, and showing me how to save time and avoid movies I would hate. I love getting in a bit of film...Read full review »
