There's so much to like about KPCS - amazing guests, time to get to know them, funny banter and a relaxed environment. HOWEVER, every time I watch an episode I find myself shouting at the screen, "Shut up, Kevin! Let your guest talk! Stop pre-answering the question you are asking!" The missed opportunities are painful to watch.
Some celebrities are even more likable than the charactors we originally fall in love with, Chris is one of those for me. Also kinda cool to learn that he and Anna are from the Seattle area as well. Love this show, so glad I found it.
The way he describes hunting is what a TRUE hunter feels. Not an asshole in the woods with a gun, but a real hunter. From the pleasure of being out in nature, to the remorse for the life you just took. That is what hunting is really about. NOT just killing an animal!
FULLY agree to a point - and Chris said it the best I've heard, but where I depart is that (deer/elk) hunting is a lot of luck and a little skill. With a long rifle, not much skill is needed. So, there should be a LOT of remorse for taking that life. Humans ape the rest of the predators and do not readily accept that life is very precious - not top of mind. But humans know better. Life is VERY precious. Hunting preserves habitat so it is a necessary 'evil'. if the meat is eaten by the hunter or donated to be eaten, then fine all around.
I notice all the comments deriding Pollack for 'talking too much,' etc...I have to disagree. Pollack is damn funny and has a wealth of knowledge and stories about the industry he and his guests work in. This is the first installment I have seen and I am realllllly looking forward to watching a ton of episodes. More power to you, Pollack!
I like him. I even find Sam quite amusing, too. Yes, they talk a lot, interrupt, and are snarky assholes. That's their shtick. I can totally understand some people not liking that shtick, but like you said, if someone doesn't like it perhaps they should stop watching.
So it’s a train and it’s going smoothly down the track. Everything is going great. You have a drink in your hands and then all of a sudden Kevin and his sidekick converse and totally derails the conversation. Fuck!
Who gives a shit what Kevin and Samm are doing, theyre a part of the show and the format of the show is a dialogue , two way street, two or more people talking, It was a great KPCS!
I just discovered this awesome show the other a day so I’ve been binging it without realizing how old it was...I kept waiting for them to talk about Jurassic World or Passengers and then I realized they hadn’t happened yet 😂😂
haha ikr. i get that it's tradition or whatever but makes no sense. This guest is a contemporary A list actor, and honestly doing kevin a favor. Sam is not funny but does seem like a natural replacement for Kevin.
I love that Megan M knew that live they didn't need the rights in #131 I would like to see Chris' video phone in of Little Sebastian as much as I'd like to see MM's Larry King Game submission
I understand Kevin Pollak is a known personality, but far out he puts out zero chemistry. I thought this would have the feel of a green room or Chris Hardwick podcast. But man its stale. The first 30 minutes felt like i was in a dentists waiting room eavesdropping on two accountants conversation about the weather and how they went for a walk. Which is a shame because they get great guests. Maybe Kevin should bring in a more colloquial host and just produce the show.
Normally really like this show, but as noted below KP really under played. Went whole interview without realizing Pratt was the smartest person in the room.
They need to calm down about being flagged for copyright. U can sing any song you want especally a made up song on a tv show without being flagged!! They do this on every show
Good God, Pollak! Ask a direct question and stop wandering. I really like Chris Pratt but this thing really needs to be slimmed down. Levine, write research but please don't speak.
This is a perfect example of what a nice, down to earth, awesome guy Chris Pratt is. This Kevin guy won't let him talk, answers his own questions, spends the first 10 minutes talking about his own movie, CONSTANTLY interrupting, and Chris just sits there and behaves like a nice guy. Either that or he's acting. You know he's got to be irritated. And his sidekick, ugh. I'm sorry dude but who are you? Brad Pitt gave you the time of day and you had the nerve to ask who HE was??? I've never seen his face anywhere! I wonder if Chris's comment about douchey guys in Hollywood not getting work because of their attitudes was a hint to this dork.
Sam's question to Pitt was sarcasm/irony. Instead of kissing Pitt's ass, he made a joke of it by feigning ignorance of who he is. Of course he knew who Pitt was, and of course Pitt knew that he knew. And of course Sam is WAY lower on the rung of fame than Pitt is, and knows it.That's why it was funny. I bet Pitt thought it was funny, just like when Pratt told him to get his feet off his f-ing coffee table.
Pratt is almost perfect except for the obsession with hunting. He did an article with Hunting a magazine that sounded way colder than how he described his love for it here.
01:25:40 So wrong. Who Tweeted rule is that only one rings in with the scoring based on that ring-in. Chris rang in and was wrong. Didn't matter that Kevin got it right. The outcome may be the same (only Sammie - Kevin's minion - knows for sure), but da rulz are da rulz!
This is probably my least favorite KPCS ever. 1) Samm Levine is at his most annoying. 2) Kevin Pollack launches on some ignorance. The Mayans are still here a-hole. Native people aren't all dead. It's a shame because I enjoy Chris Pratt otherwise.
"not a fluid interview"... yes, because all fluid interviews are edited (as ice said) and/or rehearsed. You really have to wean yourself off the "THIS IS WHAT AN INTERVIEW LOOKS LIKE" Tip: watch some Craig Ferguson Late Late Show episodes/interviews here. Of course, you could also just call this a conversation.
