      @@michaeledgerton3508 They do seem to be one of the most genuine interview formats out there. I'd also recommend The Hollywood Report's CZcams channel since it's a lot like this but with more people. They do have a moderator that asks questions but the woman is a lot better than the man because she asks better questions and let the people talk more.

      Scott Frank said that she was actually improvised a lot. Fun fact. In her game against the young boy girev, when she walks up and down during the game, it was her choice. She just asked Frank if she could do it without telling the young actor in order to make it feel more real

      i think it's cause they're actually friends and not just acquaintces like the rest (or not even acquaintances, some of them). that's why for example the episode from a few years ago with cate blanchett and ian mckellen is so good = cause they know each other. i think variety should try their best to always pair them up like this.
