Craig and John discuss the impact of Star Wars knocking down all the records, both for the industry and big-screen sci-fi.
We also look at yet another start-up that promises to separate hits from flops, the shocking revelation that critics are humans, and three new WGA proposals. Finally, we look at ways to let an audience know a character’s name.
Note: This is also the long-promised vaginosis episode.
