Yes, it’s been a while, but it’s possible (and I do stress possible) that things will be looking up for the podcast shortly, the reason for which I explain in the show. And as much as I hate Black Friday (and I do apologize to the world for that horrible export), I actually was able to get an item that to me is incredibly valuable. Otherwise, there are lots of trailers, lots of Fox-for-sale news, and of course the expectation for The Last Jedi.

OMG, I found a factory sealed DIVX Disc. I should send a picture sometime. Wanted to see murder on the orient express in 70mm but TOO BAD, they only showed it for a short time before switching over to the DCP. I’ve lost interest in motion picture anyways. Jim’s always bugging me to come over and watch a movie, but I never care to arrange something.
70mm film – 2017;
Show the film in your multiplex’s smallest auditorium, and only do it for 1.5 weeks before switching over to 1080p video.
