Evan's opening monologue was lifted almost entirely from The Immortal Hulk #11 by Al Ewing and Joe Bennett. You should read it!

Jon Stewart, formative for many of our politics during the Bush era, returns with his second feature film Irresistible. Theoretically a political satire about how money in politics erodes democracy, how the consultant class fails us, and the entertainment imperative in news media, this film tells us more about the sexual pathology and dated criticism that liberalism has to offer in this time of crisis.

Elaine Pauls, superstar poster and podcaster from Sports Are Gay, Alberta Advantage, and Format: Guardian joins us for this conversation.
