The problem with this podcast is that Mr. Belloni invites people to discuss interesting topics but he doesn’t let them talk. Eventually he does all the talking because apparently his opinion is the one that counts. That makes for a really boring podcast.

Find someone or something that you love more then Nathan Hubbard loves Taylor Swift and is pretty much begging for a job with her

MB is the ultimate yada, yada when his guest challenges a flippant stance. Topics and guest are great, what he discusses is great. He’s just a jerk 40% of the time. Producer Craig rocks!

…but that last episode was like an advert for Accenture services. Ugh. It gave me shivers listening to “consulting speak” for the first time since retiring. But love the banter between Matt, Lucas and Craig!

Talk about Hollywood namedropper, shill for big Hollywood execs like David Laslav so he remains on their Christmas Card list. Supporter of Disney and the big wig CEOs while the writers and actors striked. Does that not say it all? Ugh

It seems like every episode with certain guests has barking dogs in the background. The host seems totally fine with it. I have to skip ahead through the dog barking because it’s unlistenable and miss those parts. Otherwise, the opinions are usually fine.

You guys have a really good show, but you’re literally lose stars every day if you continually call Don lemon, a “real journalist“ Please do not confuse what journalism actually means and what Don Lemmon actually brings to the profession good God

this guy is the least engaging listen in the genre of hollywood-reporters-podcasting. nice newsletter and thats his lane and he should stick to it because as an entertainer with a voice on a pod, he comes off as nothing more than a california bro reading you a spreadsheet rather than a personality.

Making fun of Charles Melton’s kimchi? I thought perhaps this podcast was just boomercore but it’s just flat out bigoted and ignorant. Don’t care how much Hollywood clout they have but it’s just outdated and mean.

Great podcast, but NOT that guest. She is awful, changing her data to support HER beef.
ChevyLA1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/24
Once again, Matt continues to dismiss the power of reality tv. The only reason I have Peacock is for the Bravo Hub = for the reality world. If Apple had a strong library of reality tv, I’d probably be there too.

She didn’t address one argument besides studios should lean into making movies that are women made regardless of quality or entertainment value or commerciality.

I felt like I was losing my mind listening to her, that woman was insane and totally out of touch with reality. Matthew is great though

My favorite podcast. Great commentary. Smart insights. And frankly a lot of fun. For me, this is MUST LISTEN content. Matt Belloni’s hosting style and quick banter is infectious. Look forward to each episode drop. Bravo, to everyone at The Town!

For the love of god why is this middle aged mediocre white man being interviewed on this show. He’s a sexist imbecile who makes only dated references and has nothing interesting or insightful to say. Bringing him on just demonstrates poor judgement by the producers of this podcast

Would be five stars if the host wasn’t so insufferable.
Heuro via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
Matthew needs to allow the opinions of others to be heard and he needs to listen! Stop interrupting on a constant basis. The SNL episode he can’t seem to stop talking. I like the guy and find the topics interesting but it’s hard to overlook his aggressive tone.

Informative, concise and fun. The best way to get perspective on what’s happening in the business.
Tinker Seafun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/24
Who are these listens giving the 1 or 2 star reviews? What are they giving the 90% of garbage that’s out there? jeeze. Matt is a great host. He loves the banter. He’s down to earth, knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Great voice and always informative guests. 5 stars!

Only reason why match up stunk was Rodgers hurt. Otherwise would of been top shelf. Fluke

Seriously one of the best podcasts available!
JPUphl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/23
I just tried listening to the episode about Paramount and am shocked by how much Matt keeps interrupting his guest and arguing with him. Let the man talk!
Evanismtndewman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/23
Great pod. Followed MB from KCRW. Terrifically broad take on Hwood with great guests. Interesting, insightful and fun. Highly recommend.
Ela-lala via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/28/23
Great show. Love the topics and insight into the Hollywood business machine. Word of advice however, sometimes the show is clearly factually incorrect and/or allows guests to talk nonsense without being corrected or challenged. That’s the only negative. As long as you can filter and spot the...Read full review »

Poor performance may have had something to do with the lack of ability to promote it?!? As they say, your slip is showing. Your basic misogynistic view is clearly evident. If this had been a movie with the Chris’s that wasn’t able to be promoted you would have fallen over backwards to explain...Read full review »

As a former media pro, this is smart and fun content. Insights abound, and it makes me laugh.
Sands529 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/04/23
That’s all. Good format. Good topics. Bad host.

God forbid Apple use some of their stockpile to support a great artist
jwspiess via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/29/23
Mallory Rubin wrote a great book about the MCU. Let her talk. This episode sounded like Matt using Rubin to merely bounce his own conclusions off of without treating her like an expert guest in the subject (which she is). Not your best. You have to let people actually talk.
RCollins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/23
Matt is excellent, knowledgeable, so enthusiastic, and fun to listen to and hear about the entertainment industry.
LeslitaSimone via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/23
I’m not in any of the industries covered in this podcast (media, entertainment, news) but I still love it. The host knows everything about everything. Puck: can you make a similar podcast about fashion + beauty? As a fashion CEO I would live for an industry insider podcast like this one. Maybe...Read full review »

The definitive industry podcast .
JudestriosD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/23
I’m lowering my score from 3 to 2 stars. Kept listening. Host is unfortunately too much for me to take; so full of himself. Also it’s like Hollywood has zero women working in it because he never interviews any women. /// I was turned on to this podcast about two months ago. I love hearing about...Read full review »

But for the love of god, Matt, it’s called Warner BROS Discovery. Not “Warner Discovery”
LeoBecker2048 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/23
I really like your podcast but please upgrade the audio quality. It’s legitimately bad!
The gamer dhsjs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/23
I’m new to this world. The host explains things very well. It’s easy to learn! 5 stars!
rhen356 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/23
i used to love this show until the writers strike, bellini has acted incredibly dismissive of their concerns and continually called them ridiculous, attention hungry, irrationally twitter angry, ect. I don’t have any affiliation with the writers or california really, but this was incredibly...Read full review »

Belloni does a great job as host of this show. It’s a must listen.
Fernando Infanzon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/23
One of my go to listens during week. Prob one of my fave podcast to listen to right now. Provides great insight and debate on insider details on Hollywood and surrounding business around it.
movies4real via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/23
My favorite non sports podcast. The pace and content make it a must listen for me as soon as I’m able each episode. Does a tremendous job educating on an area I’ve always wondered about but would never prioritize. Well done!!
kfunkle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/23
Listen as Matt has all the information available to him and still comes to the wrong conclusions and sounds completely out of touch.
