Latest Podcast: “The Man in the High Castle,” “11.22.63,” “American Idol,” Oscar Noms, “Pete’s Dragon,” “Rizzoli & Isles”

It’s the best movie-review show out there, and it was a blast to be invited to think celebrity thoughts out loud and on their podcast air.

Now if I can only figure out how to be on Serial without actually being harmed or accused of a heinous crime…

All right, Episode 20 posted a few days ago, so it’s more like the semi-latest edition, but my point about doughnuts being treasures that should be kept under glass stands nonetheless.
