Customer Reviews
Guests Matter
It can be hard to rate interview podcasts as the guests can dictate how good the show is. When Maher has a guest with interesting viewpoints, it’s a great podcast. When he doesn’t — which is rare, luckily — it’s easy to skip that particular episode. The lack of structure is also a boon, yet it can be frustrating as a listener when Maher and his guests forget to come back to a topic.
Ugh. Bobby Lee.
He could be so funny but he’s just sandpaper. Abrasive and harsh. He looks for reasons to beef with whoever. Even big dumb oafs like Bert. Or simple morons like schaub. He is fingernails on the chalkboard of podcasting. But some folks love him and I don’t hate them for it.
He is better than hawk tuah girl. He’s done things and offers the world something more than spit tips
Malcolm McDowell
I have been a fan of Malcolm McDowell since 1972 when I saw a Clockwork Orange in Brussels Belgium. I was spellbound the first time I saw it. I love Beethoven, I don’t love violence, but this movie
With the colorful sets, the music, the brilliant acting made a positive impression at a young age. This interview with Bill Maher was very interesting. It showed the vast knowledge that Malcolm has as a cinephile which outmatched Maher’s knowledge. I saw them see anyone to outmatch Maher, who is very knowledgeable, but Malcolm outshined him. The interview was very interesting and the two men teased each other mercilessly. I love Malcolm McDowell.
