Been binge watching old Unsolved Mysteries episodes. Jay could be interested in this one. The first segment is on Brandon Lee and the alleged curse that plagued him.

Oh man, that was the most awkward interview in FJ history, but it had me in stitches. Mr Kluger is a good sport for coming on the show, but I didn’t feel like he made any convincing arguments to support his opinions and his harsh rating, and then just his forceful plug at the end… come on. He’s lucky to be dealing with three nice Canadians, even if one of them makes random jerking off jokes that must sound very odd to people not familiar with the show.

Oh and Sean just a quick Glossary note –
Frank coined the term Criterionitis in episode #483 (The Drop) which I just listened to, which leads to the debut of Classitosis an episode later in #484 (The Equalizer)

Fun interview. It wasn’t the Vincent Gallo v Rodger Ebert I was hoping for, but it was funny. Even tho it would’ve been classless to rip into an invited guest, I would’ve loved it. I thought Jay was pointed. Unfortunately the reviewer wasn’t a formidable opponent. His bumblings were weak, which is not something you would expect from someone who gave such a harsh review. If you’re going completely shit on something have balls to back it up.

That reviewer, to put it mildly, comes off as a dense worm. Kudos to him for coming on and all that but, yeah… he’s kinda gross.

Great, fun interview. That reviewer has another strike against him because at one point he says he “thinks he has” the bluray.com app to organize his physical media titles and that it’s great. You either have the app to organize your media titles or you don’t. If you “think” you have it, you’re probably not using it and you certainly can’t weigh in on whether it’s great. I’m surprised he didn’t “think” he saw Cursed Films. Without psychoanalyzing too much, that’s the kind of thing you say when you are intimidated by the person you’re talking to. So good job, guys for keeping him off balance.

Great interview, fellas. I thought for a bit that he might be swayed to see that he was unnecessarily harsh, but in the end, he dug in his heels, and stuck by the review. I’d be interested to know if he saw either of Jay’s other docs, and what he thought of them.

I liked how Jay was his usual dry self, and in fairness the reviewer took it pretty well.

I never thought I could literally see a shit-eating grin on someone while listening to a podcast or talk radio, but I finally did every time that douchey reviewer opened his mouth.

I say this as a total compliment to your guest, of course

“Why are you so mean?” Absolutely classic. You’re a hero Jay.
