This was the more unprofessional segment on radio that I have ever had the misfortune of listening.
The movie 'critic' was ill prepared for the movies he was supposedly critiquing for the listeners. It was obvious that he had not even seen one of the movies he was reviewing. To add to the annoyance Ms. Udoji would not even let the poor guy finish a full sentence and jump in with her even more uninformed & inane chatter.

And what is the point of your "Mother of all trailers" gimmick. Just to confuse the listeners about the context and genre of each movie being 'reviewed'? It is definitely not funny and does not belong in a movie review segment where the listener would like to form some opinion of the movie being discussed for his benefit. As a listener I don't want to be guessing about which line featured belonged to which of the three movies. If your sound mixing crew wants to showcase their talents in mixing and ovelaying clips to do comedy I am sure there are better venues for it than a movie review segment.
