Phoney and irritating
This is a pretty lame affair, as one might expect of something pumped out on a daily basis. The commentators hold forth sagely on the grosses of films despite having no real knowledge of film financing marketing budgets.

Although some of the opinions expressed are astute and idiosyncratic, the overall impression is of something rote and over self-conscious.
