| 0:00.0 | Hello, it's Miranda. I'm back with a new mini episode of Podforce One. This feature is a little more |
| 0:11.2 | topical and relevant to my day job as a columnist for The New York Post. Today I have some fun |
| 0:17.7 | teasing the nasty, know-it-all movie critics about the fact that despite their |
| 0:22.9 | best efforts, the First Lady's documentary, Melania, has had a record-breaking box office hall |
| 0:29.8 | in its opening weekend. Out there in the real America, the audience just loves it. I also delve |
| 0:37.0 | into the hidden messages and serious |
| 0:39.4 | intent in the lavishly produced movie. In a big blow to the Trump-deranged community, |

| 1:40.3 | sniffed the Hollywood reporter. A variety called the movie a shameless infomercial. |
| 1:46.3 | The First Lady is a, quote, preening, scowling, void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit |
| 1:54.9 | of propaganda, snarled the Independent. |
| 1:58.2 | The Guardian trashed the movie as gilded Drash, and two hours of pure |
| 2:03.9 | endless hell. Ha, haters going to hate. But that's not what the 99% said in hundreds of |
