The Midnight Citizen 33 — “Too Much Tobacco”

56:21 — After a month of all work and no play, I settle down for another show in the studio.  Topics include changing a tire in early morning rush hour, Joe Bob Invades Birmingham, last month’s journal of podcast procrastination, early 90s Nickelodeon nostalgia, and MTV turns 30 (aka why are we celebrating this bullstuff?).  Also, my review of the Maculey Culkin psych drama “The Good Son” will have you throwin’ Mama from the cliff!

The Midnight Citizen 29 — “Super 8 Day”

54:50 — After months of stayin’ away from the pictures, I     go back in full force with “Super 8”.  Folks are describing this one as the perfect valentine to early Spielberg, a bunch of kids in late 70s suburbia making movies and dealing with aliens.  Why does that make me hesitant?  Listen as I talk about my reservations before leaving for the theater, and find out if I was right after I get home and give ya my full review.
