I've long said that a music or movie critic whose taste is awful is better than one who's right 75% of the time. With the former, I know if I'll like something damned near every time. Same idea with your friend.
More to the point, I have another friend who is always talking about tv shows and movies. My wife and I really value his opinion. If he likes something, we know we'll hate it, and vice versa.
