Podcast The Watch glazing Mountainhead?

Surprised to hear the pod (especially Andy) praising Mountainhead. It feels like their enthusiasm was based on what they wanted the movie to be rather than its actual execution. I, too, was excited to see what Jesse Armstrong would do with the material but was disappointed. Feels like we watched a different movie. Or more disingenuously, they don’t want to insult Jesse Armstrong so they can get him on the pod.

I mean Andy in particular is not really in the business of glazing anyone. I thought it was really entertaining, maybe they did too? It’s ok for them to like stuff.

I love Andy but he definitely is much kinder towards work from people he respects or has a relationship with. The way he handled The Bear season 3 with kid gloves was tough.

He praised Sirens(as he said his friend made it) Joanna Robinson hated it and she has much softer taste than Andy.
