Listening to /film after dark with Armond White.
/facepalm
Worst week of /filmcast.
Why is worse? I don't agree with his opinions - for the most part. I think he actually makes some valid points regarding film criticism and film fandom. I think the reason I dislike him is the air of smug superiority he has among those who do not meet his standards. But it was a great episode because they had someone whose opinions were contrarian and divisive. It's pretty easy to have someone like say Kevin Smith on the podcast - no one is going to get into too heated debate and the hosts and their listeners are obviously fans; put someone that is an magnet for controversy and who many of the film geek community hate, treat him with respect, let him voice his opinions and argue them, that's harder. And they pulled it off.
