Movies referred to: Star Wars, Serenity, 12 Angry Man, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, The Davinci Code, cigarettes and Coffe, Night on Earth, Being John Malkovich, Synechode, NY. They try to frame an outline for a movie idea Jeremy has had for years. The idea of TFICast the movie is talked about. Jeremy and Erik each come up with a movie idea.

Comparisons to OJ Simpson are made. Jeremy brings up a touchy subject of sexual offenders.

Jeremy and Erik mourn the loss of their younger counterpart and wonder what the future of TFICast will be with two old curmudgeonly guys rambling on.

This leads into an extended discussion of Dianetics and (this is the word Jeremy can’t figure out) Chiropractics. Jeremy is unable to muster the courage to take the Theten test but does take the NASA certified Chiropractics test. It turns out the Erik also visited the same booths on another day.

Next Keith tells a story about how to lose a girl in one drunken night. Then Erik reminds us to be wary of the omelette cook on brunch line. Micheal Jackson’s death is glossed over as is the movie Poultrygeist. Plus much much more in this slightly extended three-way TFICast.
