Dreams do come true.  Eventually.  We welcome ourselves back from an impromptu holiday vacation, which we don't even refer to in the show, because this episode was recorded before Christmas 2017 (as is the next episode as well).

Ahem.  Where do we begin with this week's exploration into 1987's Wings of Desire?  Well, for one, it's an awesome film.  Arty, stylish, slow, but cool.  So cool that it was eventually remade into a Meg Ryan / Nicolas Cage tearjerker.  Typical.
