It's the return of guests Zack Handlen and Tim Lehnerer as we talk about Luke Skywalker's hovercar, the connection between sinus headaches and nihilism, and Cory McAbee's relationship odyssey "The American Astronaut". And, oh yeah. It's my birthday!

When a family sitcom needs to regain an audience, a new kid is trotted out. When a horror franchise is in trouble, it's time to combine moth-eaten forces of evil. "House of Frankenstein" sets the bar for horror franchise shark-jumping. All that, and an absurdly appropriate analogy to the comic industry!
