After two and a half weeks with no new Snack, your two favorite dummies have quite a lot to say about light bulbs, Star Trek, air-conditioning and Batman. Enjoy it guys! (Just kidding, out of those we only mention Batman once, and it’s really hardly anything at all). Discussed: The media’s coverage of the Boston bombing, the rightness or wrongness of the decision to shut down Boston for a day to aid the police in their manhunt, who the podcasters believed were the culprits in the first hours after the bombing, unavoidably poor segues, the new ‘Man of Steel’ trailer, the new ‘Thor: The Dark World’ teaser, exciting news for fans of Daredevil, why Daredevil didn’t entice the podcasters when they were wee comic collectors, “superhero movie fatigue” and the unlikely possibility of attaining this state of being, an exciting Word of the Week, a brief note on a revisiting of the film ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’, a new Monolith Moment (which turns out to be violent and, oddly, masochistic), a possible title for the podcast is suggested and a lurid scenario resulting from this title is imagined aloud, Seth McFarlane’s Oscar performance is redeemed (sort of), and Game of Thrones episodes 2 and 3 are torn open and their entrails examined on this edition of A Little Snack.
