Happy Halloween! Join us (David McVay, Mirren Lee and Jacob Oberman) as we have a little Halloween fun. We discuss Kevin Smith’s new film, “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”. The controversy that it’s ad campaign is causing and other censorship subjects like internet censorship and the issue of the R rating for video games is given life yet again.
Jacob and David review the new Australian film, “Monkey Puzzle” and David and Mirren review the film, “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People”.
With the US Federal Election looming, we of course take a look at a couple of interesting strategies that celebrities are using to endorse Obama.
Due to the conversational and candid approach we take to the show, the episode carries an explicit tag for frequent bad language.
