It slipped my mind during my recent cold, but I'm becoming increasingly annoyed by the Five Live Mayo/Kermode Podcast.
Leave aside that 1 out of 4 are not Kermode, but someone else who hasn't seen many films,
Leave aside the annoying ident jingle that encroaches into the beginning and end of it,
What really annoys me is inviting the director/star of the latest film on the show to ask them asinine questions: 'Do you think it's your best work ever?', 'What was x like to work with?', 'What makes you so great?'. And then be really fawning about the film in question - 'challenging', 'remarkable', 'really well edited'.
The worst in recent weeks was last week with some American guy with a deep voice, and then two bozos live from the US.
Total discussion of films, approximately 20 minutes.
