Renowned film critic and Mic’s childhood friend Justin Chang from LA Times/Vulture/Variety joined the boys this week for a wild wild episode! The boys talk about the ever-lasting tension between creators and critics, if critics’ opinions matter at all, and the appropriate ways to consume criticism over the internet so that you don’t get hurt and feel like jumping off a bridge! Yay!
