This week we talk about the minds of serial killers while Jeff tries his best to avoid the buzz around the new Star Wars Trailer.  We also cover Middle Earth and the jerk of a fallen elf turned wraith, named Kelebrimbor, who possesses a dead guy to bring him back to life just to be more of a jerk.  Oh yeah, Shelob is a sexy spider lady now too because … why not ruin a fantastic mythos?  Enjoy all this and more on episode 31 of the Cynics Media Cast!
