HOLLYWOODLAND - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love this podcast and look forward to new episodes every week. It’s so fascinating to hear the little known facts & stories you’d never guess came from such huge stars. I love the way the stories are told as well- the format is unlike any other podcast I listen to.

I absolutely love and recommend this podcast the stories that you think you know but really don’t know all the details and it’s told in such a wonderful way. The telling of each part of history is intriguing & interesting. You go away from each episode having a bit more knowledge. Not to mention his dreamy voice :)

This is an AMAZING podcast! I just finished the David Lynch episode. I liked it so much yesterday, I’m going back for a second helping today! I listen to this and the sister podcast, Disgraceland, weekly. Between the New Original Content, Bonus Episodes and Rewind Episodes, Jake and the team at Double Elvis will keep you entertained all week. You might just learn something along the way as well.

I’m listening to the early episodes. The complaints about the style of narration just go to show that people have different preferences. For me, it works. But I do agree with others about the over-the-top swearing. It’s one thing if it comes in naturally and believably, but too often it seems gratuitous and like a kid who just started swearing and now does it way too often and without context. I really hope there’s some improvement on this as the show goes along.

I’m concerned by reviews saying you seem a little too enthusiastic about horrible things, especially violence. Sure hope that’s not the case when I get to those episodes, or I won’t be hanging in.

I generally love your show, but you all but blaming Asia Argento for the suicide of a known depressive ADULT Anthony Bourdain was nasty work. I’m not an Argento apologist, far from it. I don’t particularly like her, but blaming someone who has a long history of being abused since she was a child for the mental illness of someone else, is, and I say this as a sufferer of depression, gross. If you thought you were being nuanced, you failed.

I love the content, but the lazy diction of the mush-mouthed host makes about half of the episodes unlistenable for me. In some later episodes he speaks like he’s taking it a bit more seriously, and those are much better. Such a shame—I’d give it 4/5 stars if the host could just speak like he had some brains.
