Description: Your friends in podcasting have a great deal on their minds ... Cold weather in the nation's capital, the hell of home renovations, fire and long-term unhealthful air and the Olympics in Los Angeles ... And they discuss it all on this week's show. They also remember the late David Lynch, suggesting that no artist has ever loved Los Angeles more than he did. They discuss the latest in the Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively (and now Ryan Reynolds!) lawsuits, and this leads to a discussion of the "abuser's playbook". The programming glories of the Detroit Film Theater (at the Detroit Institute of Arts) and the Renzo Piano-designed Academy Museum (at the L.A. County Museum of Art) get celebrated and lead to a discussion about "old school" wide-screen filmmaking, and big screen "pacing", as well as cyber punk and yacht rock! Finally, analysis will be directed onto the Directors Guild and Producers Guild awards nominations and what they portend for this week's Oscar nominations. Oh, yeah, and the show opens with an epic Dean Haglund meltdown!
