EPISODE 041 - Let's Have Some FUN!

This week's non-movie topic:
"As the saying goes, 'All work and no play makes flick want to rip your head off, squeeze it into a trash compactor, and use the rest of your body parts for evil scientific experiments designed to shock and horrify the world. Just before he takes it over.' On the bright side, the world never really has to worry about that with all of the wonderful movie entertainment out there to distract me from my homicidal rages and world conquest schemes.

So how about you? When it comes time to kick off your shoes and do something just for the fun of it, what is it that really floats your boat? It can be a full-blown hobby, or something you like to do just from time to time... you know, to ease the tedium and monotony of everyday life. What do you do just for fun?"
