I don't care how deeply in debt this festival is.

And it's also Bear Trap and Monolith! On this week's episode, the Trap struggles to make sense of a Ben Affleck-directed "Stand" adaptation, and 'Lith talks a bit more about his views on "Breaking Bad". Also discussed are early opinions of Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, the new FX show, "American Horror Story", and the tantalizing possibility of a sequel to one of the best comedies of the 90's, "Dumb and Dumber". Oh and then we make an ill-advised foray into politics with a discussion of the Occupy protests. Enjoy this one, folks. Really enjoy it.

Where you been spending your nights?

Well, for both Monolith and Bear Trap, at least one of those nights was spent watching the season premiere of AMC's 'The Walking Dead'. Listen in to this week's podcast as our two favorite know-nuthin's talk about how the zombie show Darabont built is faring at the beginning of its sophomore season. Spoiler alert: not too good. Also featured is a live demonstration of Siri, the new voice recognition software available on the new iPhone 4S. In this podcast you will hear Siri's response to that age old question: "What is the meaning of life?" We also talk about 'Green Lantern', Ryan Reynolds, the new DC Comics Superman reboot, Superman vs. Batman, what scares us, and then we talk about two new trailers: 'The Avengers' and 'The Raven'. We're mixed on one and pretty negative on the other. Tune into find out who gets the thumbs down.

See? You can make a good decision when you try.

After a sad week for Apple and fans of innovative geniuses, Monolith and Bear Trap discuss the impact and legacy of the late great Steve Jobs. Monolith surprises all with some eloquence on the subject. Bear Trap surprises no one by providing none at all. And then just to take the energy down a notch, the discussion shifts into inspiration in art and what motivates us to do creative work. It's kind of navel-gazey but, you know, just let it play in the background while you surf the net. Whatevs. We enjoyed ourselves. Some highlights: Listen to the girlish delight when Bear Trap finds out from Monolith that one of Metallica's early albums is called "Kill 'Em All", find out how a 12-year old Bear Trap thought film scores were created, and discover the truth behind Monolith's previous life as a practitioner of the performing arts. You know what to do next.
