Customer Reviews
Not the same
I hardly have time to watch movies anymore, but I never miss an episode of this pod. Love Richard, Chris, et al, but Katey’s voice is sorely missed. Getting rid of a woman host and following with an all male panel is not great. Really disappointed in Vanity Fair.
Sounds Tired
While I’m still listening and enjoy the still-existing pundits, this week’s Roundtable discussion, in particular, seems so clinical, has an personality of “I’m just doing my job,” tired, and not remotely interested. Who’s picking the topics? Can we have some more guests? I assume it’s the higher-ups/production level, not on-air talent, driving this new format and—as someone who’s been listening for years—please don’t try to force a square block into a circle hole.
No more Katey
Sadly, I find myself skipping the episodes when they come out now that Katey is gone. It just isn’t as engaging or entertaining without her. Love Richard though!
