Great panel. Justin Chang is one my favorite film critics.
Huge Justin Chang fan here, and the rest of the panel looks great, too. Looking forward to this smackdown!
I love Justin Chang. He's very punny.
Oh, what a heavy-hitting group! I'm excited to hear some strong opinions on an interesting year.
I wish to welcome these distinguished panelists. Every Smackdown I feel like Nathaniel has out done himself, what a great line up. You guys are one of the few bright spots during our pandemic summer.
I LOVE Justin Chang. These panels have been amazing lately.
Take me to the dunes, Ali.
Welcome panelists! I'm looking forward to reading your opinions for 2005!
This is so exciting!! Can't wait for the smackdown!
Looking forward to the Smackdown and def sent some bucks your way. So appreciate you and the Smackdown, Nathaniel.
Great panel! Nathaniel, you are surpassing yourself!
Yet again, when Nathaniel is the booger of the group you know it’s a fine looking bunch!!!
I'm getting some Nikki M James vibes from a few panelllists. I think this Smackdown will be robbery free. (Unless Nathaniel has a 89er type grudge against Adams or Weisz?)
Kenneth: He does have a bias against Adams. Hopefully he will behave professionally.
