The Business

Kim's insights into the actual workings of Hollywood set this show apart from the superficial and tabloid coverage this industry normally receives. Her guests and interviews are fantastic as well. I wish 52 Bonus Banters came out every year

Since it's an LA based show, I expected a left-leaning podcast but sometimes I'm still surprised about how confident the host is that absolutely no on in her audience is more centrist in their thinking. I like the "banter" part of the podcast, and most of the back-end interviews (if I see it's going to be a politically-themed echo-chamber exchange, I skip). Overall though, I commend the host's competence and interview skills.

Kim Master’s is truly a rockstar of journalism. She’s so bright and brings up fascinating topics and guests. I truly enjoy this show!! My only qualm is- she and her guests sometimes bring up so many industry names that they assume the audience knows, and it gets quite confusing if you’re not completely infused in all the details of the tv/film industry. Please explain the names you mention in detail, prior to bantering!

Banterverse is spicy, concise and entertaining! I really enjoy the insight and the updates but the bantering is fun and not bloated content. I also enjoy the diverse films and filmmakers that come on the show. Thanks!

Would hope that the takes presented on a show like this would have some verity and bite to them. On the contrary they often echo superficial Network and Studio opinion on issues within the business. Case in point the recent episode on the “Rust” tragedy. There is real depth to this story and if the authors would take the time to dig in and do some reporting they will find something far more complicated and compelling than the knee jerk take being circulated by industry leaders.
