In this episode of A Little Snack, a cloud of space debris wreaks havoc on cogent thought and complete sentences, resulting in poorly articulated points and not a little tedious nitpicking. You'll be lucky to escape without losing a few IQ points. Discussed: The new Alfonso Cuaron film "Gravity" and the relative enjoyment experienced by both podcasters while watching said film, whether Sandra Bullock is "cute" anymore, tether protocol, the handling of sound in 'Gravity', the most emotional moment in the film for both podcasters, how the film's artistic success can be summed up by a comparison to a certain early twentieth century author's fiction, the necessity of Sandra's backstory, and a WoW clarification from the last episode, a WoW pop quiz with past WoWs, and then a WoW that happens to describe some topical current events quite well. Also, regarding that title: no themes are analyzed in this podcast. The title's willfully misleading. Enjoy, folks!

Show #86 - Jeb Wheedon
On this episode of A Little Snack, Monolith talks about how, while flying, he endured the obscenity that is 'Star Trek: Into Darkness' and Bear Trap reminisces about the dearly departed author of techno-thriller airport fiction, Tom Clancy. And at the END of the podcast, (like good podcasters do), the meth-heads talk about the end of AMC's 'Breaking Bad'. Surprisingly, they manage to hold back the tears. Discussed: the best and worst Star Trek movies, at what point 'Into Darkness' stops being good and starts being the worst thing to happen to the franchise, Tom Clancy's lasting contribution to culture, his unusual connection to 9/11, Key and Peele's return and when to look for the return of Mousecop, a Word of the Week that isn't exactly what you would call fully baked, a Monolith moment that puts Bear Trap on the spot, what the podcasters understand about ABC's new show 'Agents of SHIELD' without either of them actually having seen it, thoughts on a few moments Monolith saw of one episode of the new NBC actioner 'Blacklist', and then spoiler-iffic 'Breaking Bad' talk in which the Trap and the 'Lith talk about the final 75-minute episode and the entire series as a whole and where one might reasonably rank it among all TV shows. It's good and you will enjoy it.
