No joy
This is not a podcast for people who enjoy movies. Most of the time Dana and her guest will ignore crucial plot points clearly lined out in the film in order to strengthen their dislike of the film. I've never heard her give a positive review and she doesn't seem to enjoy movies. I don't know why she was given the podcast if she doesn't at least find a little joy in going to the theater. Is every movie she reviews perfect? Heck no. But there's a difference between pointing out a few weak things and smugly dumping all over a film. This isn't a bad podcast. The host and guest host usually provide some insight to the movie being reviewed. But fair warning, they take their title of "critic" seriously. Even when they like a movie, they find 10 things to gripe about. Apparently they can't just enjoy themselves at the theater anymore.Read full review »
