Review Roundup Vol. 1

Okay, so Karl Marx, Robert Altman, and Tom Hanks walk into a bar. It’s a shame that I don’t have a punchline for this joke, but as a consolation prize I do have a fresh episode of Planet of the Meerkats — and this week we’ve got a real doozy on our hands. It’s volume one of our new Review Roundup series, where Dave and Neil discuss the books, music, movies, and more that have recently piqued their attention. Is Dave getting paid by author Rian Hughes to promote his new science fiction/typography mashup novel XX? Is the 1993 film Demolition Man the most important film in the history of cinema? We’ll answer these questions and more, next, on POTM.
