After giving their long-suffering listeners a week's reprieve from witless podcasting, Monolith and Bear Trap are back to abuse your eardrums. Its just the sort of thing they do. As summer makes its inexorable turn to fall, Apple fanboys' thoughts turn to new iPhones. In this episode of the Little Snack, a very nearly substantive discussion of Apple's big day and the reveal of the long-awaited (too long?) iPhone 5 breaks out. Also talked about: other things that are, of course, more interesting than new Apple devices. Discussed: how the updated Nano may be the clearest sign Jobs is truly gone, iPhone 5 features, whether or not Siri got fixed, the new iTouch, the greatness/terribleness of 'Battleship', how movies can substitute the satisfaction of familiarity for actual quality, the basic implausibility of the bat signal (we had to get Batman in there somehow), 'Snow White and the Huntsman', Kristin Stewart and Keanu Reeves as "blank slate" actors, bad wigs, where the presidential election stands, why the Obama convention bump is so unusual, how 2016 will play out, one possible future for the Republican party, and a question about a Navy Seal/author answered by the Snack's resident military mind. Hope you enjoy it!
