Ep. 2 - Sunshine

In this episode, Dave, Devindra, and Adam review Juno, discuss the state of late night TV, lament the existence of format wars, and argue extensively over the merits of Danny Boyle's "Sunshine." Special Guest Myles McNutt joined us today from his excellent blog, "Cultural Learnings." (Apologies to Myles and to our listeners as the microphone quality wasn't that great. Please bear with us!)
