“HDTGM is a fun podcast, the 3 hosts have a great dynamic and their guests are almost always an enjoyable listen.
But this. I was so excited for the premise and the fills up for conversation and review. So I hit play on the Fargo episode, as that is one of my favorite films. I immediately find Amy’s voice hard to listen to. Some of us (myself included) simply do not have a voice for radio. That’s ok, not a make or break.
They start the episode discussing Christmas Vacation, and she delivers maybe the worst take on a movie I have ever heard, and does so with a level of smug pretension that is borderline baffling. It’s a silly, classic Christmas movie. And at this point, I’m thinking of walking out on this podcast - mind you I’m driving and listening in my car, so I’m basically considering a duck-and-roll type of move. It’s like anti-entertainment with no value. But I keep going. Let’s give this a real chance, I have to literally eat out loud to myself.
The moment they move on to Fargo and her immediate reaction was essentially “meh,” I knew all I needed to know. I’mma stick with HDTGM.”
