Before you get excited, let me share some facts about this episode: the first three things we talk about are 'Star Trek', Apple news, and Batman. That's correct. The Unholy Trinity of Little Snack Boredom. Now, before you unsubscribe from this podcast, be aware that, if you do, you would be missing a discussion on whether the USS Enterprise could withstand full immersion in the ocean, a brief, poorly done, and inappropriate Bane impression, as well as a description of 'Sherlock' actor Benedict Cumberbatch that stays just (and I stress 'just') this side of an admission of manly love. Yes, you have to wade through drifts of coal to find these diamonds, but they're there, friends and listeners. They're there. And even if they're not there (and they're not), doesn't the raw mindless power of pure habit compel you to listen? Enjoy! Discussed: iMac production moving to US, the degree to which public relations played a role in the announcement, what might happen if Apple didn't care about PR ever, 'Star Trek: Into Darkness' teaser, similarities between the first Star Trek and its first sequel (based on teaser footage alone), Cumberbatch's hair-style, who the villain of 'Into Darkness' might be, Blu-Ray versus streaming video, where Monolith left off on his first re-watching of 'Dark Knight Rising', a low-information discussion is had regarding the Disney-Netflix deal signed this week, the geek-off Stephen Colbert won in New Zealand, some information about who the likely 2016 Democratic nominee might be, and thoughts on politics moving into a more fact-based realm. Hope you like it.
