After a podcast where the only thing everyone could agree on was the Trap said something wrong about something, our intrepid yakkers venture forth once more into the breach to speak about that which must be spoken about! Like, you know, toilet paper. Discussed in this episode: Kindle's Lending Library, Amazon Prime, Franzen's grandiose (and not terribly helpful) overstatement of the case against e-books, permanence in art, a Droid/iPhone comparison: one user's generally useless observations, 'The Descendants', the old white men who decide which movies get Oscars every year, one reason women may be underrepresented in the Academy, the weird and sudden uproar over contraception, the peculiar running style of George Clooney, the 'Phantom Menace' poster and teaser from back in the day, why the likelihood of a viable third party candidacy this year is low, and, whew. Man. Bunch of stuff. About an hour and a minute long. Enjoy it, friends.
