[@LeethLee1]

great interview! very cool

[@pipinellio]

Fascinating, but left my hanging on one important question. Did Jann really listen to Enya?

[@hayatojp1249]

Japan have their domestic movies including animes and the number of screens especially premium screens are limited so hollywood movies release schedules adjust accordingly

[@icarus7195]

This guy sounds hella like Lewis Hamilton

[@liebo76]

¡nEVer!

[@dylanpierce_]

Johnny...Ed... you guys got to start doing episodes by yourselves to get all the interrupting & impatience out. It's hard to watch a show with great information & guests, but horrible structure or host awareness. IMHO

[@nobytes2]

interruption constantly is the hallmark of terrible interviewers, as someone who great man once said, we have two ears and one mouth, to listen more than we speak

[@reincarnationgaming4182]

It was very unbearable hearing Neill constantly cutting Jann off.
