Fernando joins me on the 30th ep to hash out a long-time debate of ours: binge TV watching vs. week-to-week TV watching. We touch on the major shows that've shaped our tastes, and outline the pros & cons of both methodologies.

At 1:18:25, we analyze Lena Dunham's celebrity and her HBO show "Girls," now in its 2nd season.

We also tease an upcoming viewing project for the show. I hope you listeners will join us in viewing the directing canon of a classic comedian and actor Fernando and I love.

Here's the talk Ethan, Dan, Chris and I had the same night we recorded the "Devil's Racecourse" crew commentary. Ethan quarterbacks the discussion with topics he came up with to pick our brains. We cover juice cleanses, horror & reality TV comparisons, the dubious predicament of supporting bad filmmakers by enjoying their bad movies, stealing vs. buying movies and music, and how responsible creators are in ending franchises (like The Dark Knight Rises and Mass Effect 3) to the fans' liking.

This special archive episode was recorded back in June with Angela Swisko, who was my guest on the 2nd episode. We talked zombie movies, video game movies, horror and why they all get a bad rap.

My good friend, Curtis Thompson, returns to the show to talk about The Wachowskis' "Speed Racer," after proclaiming his love for it the last time he was on. We touch on a plethora of other topics, but get ready to maybe see another side to this underrated film. It certainly made me want to revisit it after hearing what he thought. Enjoy this special deluxe episode!

Isaac M. Colon is a tattoo artist at DC Ink on U Street, near Ben's Chili Bowl. Through mutual friends, including my girlfriend, I was able to get in contact with Isaac, sit down and talk about growing up in DC, his love of art, poetry and music, and what inspires his renaissance life. We touch on his love of Joss Whedon and his hatred of the new Bond flick, Skyfall.

In the second half of the show, I share my Favorite Things of 2012. That begins at 01:01:45.
