Dave and Mac are triumphantly reunited, following Mac's diabolical computer crash three weeks ago. Sadly, this unfortunate setback booted Mac's Vampire/Dragon novel out of the "Write a novel in one month" contest. On a happier note, the boys spend this episode dissecting Bob Zemekis' BEOWULF in 2D and 3D and the quirky new documentary THE KING OF KONG; suffering the wasteland of new television due to the writer's strike; Mac's take on Cartoon Network's live-action BEN 10 movie; and perusing the upcoming releases for December 4th, including PIRATES 3, SUPERBAD, NANNY DIARIES, 24: SEASON 6, and BSG: SEASON ONE in HD. While it may take them a couple episode to regain their groove, Ambush Topics like these will carry them through: Hammers on film; Creatures with more than one head; Memorable tentacles; Who wins in a tag team cage match between Aragorn & Boromir and Inigo & Westley? You make the call. Enjoy!

Fear the horror of dealing with Canada Customs. Cower to Kent's love interests of the 1970s. Thrill to the raw insanity of Robin Williams in Mork and Mindy: Season Two.

But he did get to wash away his distaste with a nice chaser of HAPPY DAYS: SEASON TWO, while waxing philosophical on "Jumping the Shark," the death of drive-in theaters, life without plumbing, and listener mail. Meanwhile, poor Michelle, who can't get a word in edge-wise, eventually has the opportunity to share her thoughts on Saturday morning cartoons.
