We assume that by now you've either seen District 9 or decided not to. District 9 crept up on all of us, suddenly becoming the must-see film of the summer, primarily as an antidote to the glut of really bad films that had discouraged so many film-goers over the summer.

This Week: We were both relieved to get back to a normal show that didn't last just under an hour this week, so we spent our time talking about some fun things that are happening in pop culture! Like what? Sotomayor's confirmation, Splosion Man's Twisted Vision, and Into the Wild's lesson on community. All worthy topics. But just in case anyone thought "You know, theyjust don't do enough Top 5s anymore," you're crazy. But yeah, we did do a top five for you anyway: Top Five Movies We Like that Everyone Else Like Too.

This Week: In an effort to celebrate an arbirtary hallmark, we figured we'd countdown our top 5 bunches of things, an idea that ended up taking a REALLY LONG TIME and requiring two parts - the first of which is something like 50 minutes - to do so. In this part you can look forward to hearing our top 5 Movies we Watch Over and Over Again, English Novels, and Movie Moments. Good times.
