I want to start by saying I did not grow up watching these types of movies and have enjoyed getting to go back and watch them now. That being said, I did have a problem with the flow in this episode. At the end of first segment Tony said "we may have gone long but who cares" then I found it very disturbing how Tony all of a sudden at the end of second segment cut to a break right in the middle of Jaye's passionate speech about Planes, Trains and Automobiles. It was rude and an inappropriate time for a break. As a listener, it took me out of the moment and I found it difficult to get back into the discussion. It came across as if Tony wasn't even listening to what Jaye had to say and because it wasn't him talking, Tony decided enough was enough so to speak. Tony at that point seemed to only be concerned with the clock. The length of the show, be it longer than most, or length of each segment is not as important as the content of the show. This is not the first time I've noticed this.
ReplyDeleteAgain, as a listener, Im not focused on when a break is taken. I want to stay in the moment and not be interrupted for an unnecessary break. If this is the path that ZvS is going to take, then you are going to lose a listener.
This is all constructive criticism of the show and should be taken as such. I have noticed that when someone writes something in that Tony doesn't agree with he seems to get defensive and attacks the listener. This is why I have waited so long to write in.
I truly like ZvS and have been turned on to new things that I may have not otherwise. But the frustration with the interruptions finally went over the top for me with the above example.
