Well, I was expecting some actual analysis, maybe some actual studies/cases. But the article is quoting an actor (famous for movies like Shaun of the dead, Hot fuzz, Paul) in the title. This is a fluff piece, not something worth discussing.
I think the title framed it like a serious study. I wouldn't mention it if the title was "Simon Pegg on sci-fi", or "Simon Pegg talks about adults' response to sci-fi", or similar.
As soon as you write something with an authoritative sounding / study-like title, my first reaction is to judge it as one. The title/envelope matters for framing the discussion.

Actually not just an actor, but a writer of sci-fi with some serious credits.
But even if he was just a layman, and it was his opinion, that's just as good. That's what discussion is about, an exhange of opinions and arguments.
Not everything has to be "studies" and "statistics". Not everything is a Journal (nor are most "studies" and "statistics" illuminating and valid).
