The Tom & Caro Show episode 2
There are few things in entertainment that cause more hand wringing than review scores. Just hear that a prominent critic banished your favorite video game or movie to the realm where one star failures go to die and you can feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. How dare that monster be so callous, so blind! Under the Skin is a masterpiece!
Sorry, I’m getting off track here. Caro and I spent almost an hour (much longer than we planned) talking about this very topic. We figure about the good aspects of review scores, because we’re so fair and balanced, but delve into the bad side of assigning art a numeric value as well.
And if you want a solution to this whole situation? Well, if you listen to the end, you may be disappointed, because we don’t know. But the journey is more important the destination anyway. Who wants to go to Disneyland when you can just drive on the beautiful 101?
