She’s Unlistenable. Truly.
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.

But it’s valuable and maybe even important to revisit and understand the great movies, the ones we all share as part of our collective culture. Paul is mah man,...Read full review »

I’m a big fan of both Paul and Amy already, but I love the premise and execution of this show! So many of these movies have fallen out of the public eye despite being on the AFI list - it’s great to hear them get their due. What’s not to like?
