Now it's time for a big (and long) TV/film review catch-up episode. No news or Top 3. Jimmy is finally using the new recorder so there may be some kinks to work out still. He also started by saying the wrong episode number. So please disregard "Episode 1510" as it's clearly episode 1511. Sigh. Thanks to reviewers Melissa (on double duty), David, Jeff, Therese and Ricky. Always such insightful and thought provoking reviews. Hope you enjoy!
