Customer Reviews
entertaining and educational
While all art is subjective, Zack and his wife make a lot of really good points and gives good advice. They are also a lot of fun to listen to. Zack is someone who is making it in the biz so he knows a little bit of what he is talking about. ;)
Waste of time
If you want to hear two people bumble a review, then by all means listen in. I watched episode 12 and was not impressed. Husband and wife limp along, making senseless small-talk, and instead of inviting the target of their critique on to the show, they just make stupid assumptions of the intent and trash the artist. I am an amateur photographer hoping to learn from people with more experience than me, and instead I hear two people making very lame comments about their interpretation of someone's work. Don't waste your time.
