This week on the show, Bryan and I look forward to Super Bowl forty-five.  We look back on the history of the media spectacle that has become bigger in the US than organized religion (scary!).

Oscar nominations also came out this week, and we make some early predictions for some movies that we haven’t even seen yet (just like everyone else).

Check out the show notes, as needed, and thanks for listening as always.
