TV Oracle Podcast #10: The Constant Smokers

The Tribal drums... The frenzied chanting... It can only mean the return of Survivor. The Oracles review the first few episodes of the Panama - Exile Island experience and discuss the new reality show breakout star, Shane - a contestant who quit cold turkey from a three-pack-a-day cigarette habit. Oh, how the sparks fly!

Speaking of cigarettes, the Oracles review George Clooney's smoke-filled Good Night, and Good Luck, an Oscar nominee for Best Picture. While singing the praises of Edward R. Murrow, the Oracles wonder if this lavish praise and idolotry of Murrow shouldn't have been a documentary instead of a somewhat-padded 90 minute movie.

After a review of The Constant Gardener on DVD (which did not elicit any strong responses in either direction), Blake introduces the revamped Final Word segment. While the intent is to limit this segment to one minute, time escapes us yet again. Ah well, there's always next week...
