    I found JP's comments regarding McCain bizarre. It is precisely because his outburst at Carney was so out of character that anyone noticed. McCain is regularly criticized because his typical stance towards the left winger interrogating him is to apologize for the whacko birds on his right flank. And FWIW, I'm 30, grew up loving Wayne's World, and had never heard of Art Carney prior to this podcast.

    I think the reason people don't go to the theater to see movies is because it's incredibly expensive. Going to the movies used to be something you did with dinner, but now, two people plus popcorn and drinks sets you back $50 (way too much for drek, even if you get to hold hands in the dark). The only reason to go see a movie in a theater is for special effects. If you want to see movies with characters, non-network TV is where it's at.
