The hipster friends you gladly left behind

“First of all people need to chill with the whole “Inkoo uses the word like too much!” criticism. Plenty of people do and it doesn’t alter the quality of their inputs.
That being said the quality of the inputs on this show can be severely lacking. I was surprised that they reviewed The Witcher after having only seen 1 or 2 episodes. How on earth can you know anything about a show after having seen so little of it? And yet they were so confident in their criticisms. This is a recurring theme. I also find that the main criticism of many, many films and shows is that something is too “stylized” or “twee”. I can understand that being a valid criticism when that is all a film or show has to offer but if a well written and well acted film/show is heavily stylized I don’t think it needs to be remarked on constantly. I also don’t think it’s a valid enough criticism to deem a film to be “good” or “bad”. In all honesty some of the regulars on this show remind me of my overly hipster friends in high school who were so above everything that it made them insufferable. I found it particularly rude that in your Uncut Gems episode Willa repeatedly referred to the gem mine as being in “Africa” despite the fact that other hosts and guests referred to it as Ethiopia and it was obvious in the film that it was Ethiopia. This is a form of erasure. If I was talking about a coal mine in England but I kept referring to it as Europe that wouldn’t do much to paint a picture, would it? Not to mention Willa’s treatment of Nichole during the Bridgerton episode. I think Willa needs to examine some ingrained biases.”

“I don't mind finding out the ending of a film before I watch it; a lot of times, knowing the outcome helps me better follow the picture. This podcast was great for that as well as for listening about movies that I had already seen and was still sort of wondering about. The dialogue isn't...”Read full review »

“Love this podcast! Wish they would do way more! I especially like when there’s 3 people in the discussion. I also wish they’d review more arthouse and high brow movies and fewer blockbusters. Dana DOES love movies, she just doesn’t have patience for mass produced crap (neither do I), so why are...”Read full review »
