After one week's delay, we're back with Interstellar! This is a fun one—my roommate from Oxford, who knows a ton about the theoretical physics involved in the movie, guest-stars, and many interesting conversations ensue.

This weekend, we're doing the oft-overlooked gem Shattered Glass, which, in addition to being notable for containing a good performance from Hayden Christensen, is actually a damn good movie in its own right.

I really enjoyed this; to be honest I'm rather blown away at your ability to improvise on multiple instruments for over an hour without it falling apart, because goddamn. The different layers of sound and overall texture were fantastic, and this is coming from someone who usually doesn't care for electronic music. Very much looking forward to the next one!

Doing visual effects in video form. I've gotten to the point where I'm considered "The Photoshop Guy" in several of my circles (well, actually the GIMP guy, but everyone just assumes Photoshop), but in terms of dicking around with After Effects and whatnot I'll just never get the motivation, as VFX isn't something I'd ever seek a career in. Editing is a different story.

What is the book that has most changed you as a person, and why?

Thanks so much to everyone for their feedback! Attempting a louder file for next time, and will definitely be using Zarban's program suggestion to balance the levels out.

Next episode is being recorded this weekend. If we waited for Interstellar to be released on home media we wouldn't be recording until two weeks from now, so we're going ahead and taking the plunge into Attack of the Clones. We're trying to keep a pretty consistent two-week record/release schedule, so two weeks after that will come Interstellar.

You know how you guys mentioned in this commentary that John Boehner looks like Jimmy Stewart? Well, he's got nothing on 80s Joe Biden, good Christ.

Such a shame. But he went out at peace, in his right mind and on his own terms, which is what he wanted.

I've only ever read Good Omens and The Colour of Magic. Now I definitely need to finally get around to reading all the others I wanted to; Mort, Small Gods, Hogfather, etc.

Bluegrass Fleetwood Mac is a thing. Humanity can die now, we've reached our pinnacle as a species.

Hey, they'll go great with Teague's shelves.

If authorial intent means anything, as well, in the novel Dick explicitly says Deckard isn't a replicant. Granted, this is an adaptation, but it's close enough to the novel in theme that I think the point stands.

Yeah, and talk about going out on a high note--this is one of the funniest episodes in a loooong time. I almost fell over at one point relistening to it.
