EPISODE 055 - TV... or not TV. That is the question.

This week's non-movie topic:
"Every year, September brings a flurry of excitement to hearts across the country. The dog days of summer are winding down into the color-shifting wonder of fall. But more importantly, the new television season begins! Tonight... we're gonna talk about that in our Non Movie Topic. What new shows have you been dying to lay your eyes on? What returning shows are going to have you in their vice-like grips once more? We'll also be discussing favorite shows of the past, and the different ways you watch."
