"Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since you've no place to go,
Here's our show, here's our show, here's our show."
 

Ah yes, we're back again with another show full of disappointments, but also some impressive films. John "Bachalon" Schlembach was unable to join us this week due to some scheduling mishaps, but he'll be on sooner or later. And since it's that wonderfully chilly time of year, heat up your hot cocoa and curl up next to the fire with you iPod, while you listen to Episode 6 of the Picture Show Pundits.
