This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan couldn't make it, and Sam couldn't do it at the normal time, and it was a holiday weekend, so rather than a regular current events show, Sam is joined by Alex to catch up on reviewing shows, movies, and books that Sam has consumed lately, mostly with Alex watching too. Uh, and Sam's dog Miley sometimes weighs in too, with Alex's help. And after the eight actual existing things that get reviews, they talk about things Alex wants to get created that don't actually exist yet. So yeah. That kind of week. Back to a normal current events show next week!
