The eleventh episode of The Media By Us pan-media podcast, Talkie Talk.
In this episode, we have Brent, Chris, TJ and David talk about The Third Man (last week’s homework), discuss their Watchlists, some brief Oscar category news (sorry… it never ends), before going into the main topic: Rotten Tomatoes again, this time Certified Fresh movies (>75%) that we don’t like. It gets pretty real. And we hope you’re in the mood to hear about Space Cowboys, because you will. A lot.
