I really liked the A.O. Scott and Michael Phillips iteration and was sad to see it go, but I'm willing to give this a shot. The new hosts are Christy Lemire (AP film critic) and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (who?). The first episode was OK, but it was weird that one gave all the films a thumbs down and the other gave them all thumbs up (The Dilemma? really?)...I hope that dichotomy doesn't persist otherwise the show will be pretty boring. The segment with Werner Herzog reading a piece written by Ebert was pretty cool though. Also I did not know Ebert was married to a large black woman. Anybody else check it out?

Why does the silhouette of the dudes arm only affect the right side of the 'V' and not the left and most of the 'O'?

Count me out.
