Soda Speak

And now it's time to talk about the big one (according to Cody.)   In this series finale of Pop Talk, Cody MacDonald sat down with his  parents to talk about Lost. The ABC television drama show that aired  from 2004-2010 about a group of plane crash survivors on a mysterious  island. They watched this show while it aired and were addicted to it!  What are their thoughts?  ** SPOILER DISCUSSION**

Josh and Lyle pick an episode with a numerical palindrome as the perfect  time to discuss one of the most symmetrical men on the planet: Wes  Anderson. Did you know his mother's name is actually Texas?  I'm not joking. His mother's name is Texas Ann Anderson.  And guess what? He was BORN in Texas! Houston, to be precise. Can you  imagine how many kids in the school yard picked on him just for that? Well the jokes on them! This guy is in the Criterion Collection!  At this point, that's almost as good as having an Academy Award! Speaking of which, why the hell is the Academy Award taken so goddamn  seriously anyhow? I hate the Oscars. They don't stream fucking anywhere,  you need cable, and there's a commercial break every minute and a half.  It's like "Christ, all you millionaires have all the time in the world  to waste my fucking time and it's not even entertaining at all! Isn't  that the entire fucking point of the Oscars? To celebrate  entertainment?? Fuck a duck!" Owen Wilson.
