Chris and Jeff Morgan are joined by Matthew Wrather of OverthinkingIt.com and the Overthinking It podcast to discuss what it is his website does, Brechtian alienation (as opposed to an alien nation like Melmac), F. Scott Fitzgerald, Community, more things that happen in Film Studies classes, bottle episodes (again), Christopher Nolan, and the state of lighter entertainment entities in the modern era. Also, Saved by the Bell may or may not be discussed again. (Spoiler: It is.)

For the first time ever, Chris and Jeff Morgan have a guest for two episodes in a row, this time joined by TV critic Jerome Wetzel. They talk about upcoming fall TV, mostly discussing The Office and Community, the similarities between The Rockford Files and White Collar, Hugh Laurie, where you might recognize Stephen Fry from, Bob Bradley, Jurgen Klinsmann, Justin Verlander's near no hitter, and some of the roles Grace Kelly missed out on. Also, in another first, Jeff takes the time to admonish Chris for a rambling monologue that goes nowhere and gets the show back on track.

Aside from brief discussions of how awesome Real Genius and Breaking Bad are, Chris and Jeff Morgan spend pretty much the entire podcast talking about international sports. Topics discussed include Yao Ming, Shin Soo Choo, the Pohang Steelers and other Korean soccer teams, Bulgarian basketball, and the Chinese dominance of air pistol. Also, Chris does a spot on impression of a band saw in the background, for which he apologizes.

For the first time ever, Chris and Jeff Morgan have a topic before the episode. Indeed, they spend a fair amount of time discussing the Breaking Bad episode "Fly" and bottle episodes in general. However, they may talk about Saved by the Bell even longer. Also, they discuss the careers of Lorenzo Music, David Bowie, the annoying arguments people make in Film Studies classes, and the Gold Cup Final.

Also, Chris encourages political rancor of the manifesto variety before quickly backtracking.
