This show started going downhill when the “ journalists” started wearing their political views on their sleeves, truly reflected the hypocrisy of Hollywood and the liberal hypocrisy that is rampant in the media.

Kim Masters is the only entertainment reporter I regularly follow. Her voice of reason in this tempest of media blitzes serves as a reminder that there’s still reliable journalists presenting headlines without a bias towards the opinions of shareholders. KCRW‘s “The Hollywood Breakdown”, hosted by Miss Masters, is always first in my playlist.

Regretfully dropped subscription after years of following.

Love the host but wish there more content. Doesn’t go in depth. Very small content for being only once a week. Please expand the show.

Nice slice of information each week. Perfect to queue between longer podcasts.

I love "The Business" podcast, and the part of the show I love the best is the banter segment. This is basically just the banter section in a stand alone podcast. I only wish it could be a bit longer and maybe come out more then once a week. If you want to hear about what's going on from people who cover the Industry this is bar far the best show anywhere on the web. Better then reading The Hollywood Reporter itself in my opinion. Great work!

This podcast brings up good points about the movie industry, however it also focuses almost completely on demographics and box office numbers (oh joy). Dedicating so much focus to something that means absolutely nothing to moviegoers is not a great idea. Also infuriating is the silliness of the hosts. Some of the things they say about the demographics of people going to see certain movies are just ridiculous. You're guaranteed to roll your eyes if you listen to the episode "Kids Movies Play to Adults". They're just making things up to hear themselves talk during moments like that. The worst part - however - is the length. This may be a free service, but when you have two hosts for a show, you should be able to squeak out more than 3-4 minutes (the average episode length as of this review). So it might be hard for a lot of people to justify subscribing to a podcast that only has a 3 minute episode every week (With 30 seconds of that time being spent announcing the title of the show, the URL and host names). Then again, some people may like a refreshing change in podcast length. I'd simply prefer anything longer. There's plenty to talk about in "Hollywood", and if more than one story was discussed per week, they'd never be left with a three minute episode.

This should be a half hour or hour. It is better than "The Business". John Horn is awesome and should have his own podcast as well. Go for it John!

Another great show/podcast from KCRW.

Kim Masters is great.
