Tuesday Sep 30, 2014
Be careful what you ish for or you'll end up with episodes like this one. We discuss the three-breast duping and the attack on Emma Watson before reviewing the series premieres of Scorpion, Gotham, and Blackish. Our fixation on LOST also returns as we ponder its legacy. No, we haven't changed our minds about Season 6. Not even a little-ish.

The world ain't never had a a friend like Robin Williams, so to celebrate his life we recount some of the best stories we've heard about how he touched people (not in a Patch Adams or One Hour Photo kind of way). We also discuss what depression actually is and why Aladdin seems to be a forgotten Disney movie.

The world's a-changin', and we're ready for it in The Midside. While none of us are shocked at Marvel making Captain America black and Thor a woman or how awesome The Strain's premiere episode was, Elliot is so unable to understand why women have such a problem with nice guys that Justin has to break it down for him. Join us for the discussion or we'll find you and toss you into a giant hole in Siberia.

Happy Cancellation Season! Which of your favorite shows did you lose? I share a few of mine before we discuss if ratings are the best standard for cancellation. Similarly, we also wonder if the bottom line is all the movie industry should care about.
Midside superfan Drew (@drewm_55) also stops by this week to try out for the third hosting spot by delivering Yahoo Answers Answers in his Canadian style. That’s right, we’ve gone international.
