Pop Cultural Osmosis

So, what’s your favorite book you read before the age of ten? This week, our favorite turns into a free-flowing talk about some of our favorite children’s and YA literature. Then, we talk about the summer’s first doozy of a blockbuster, Iron Man 3. Plus, we watched four of Amazon’s original content pilots – but we weren’t too impressed with any of them. Our time-travel films this week were both the 1968 and 2001 versions of Planet of the Apes. We hated one and loved the other – but you’ll have to listen to find out more. Spoilers for Iron Man 3! Seriously, folks.
