They also talk about the news of how IFC went behind the MPAA’s back with their new film, “The House That Jack Built”, and screened the unrated version without obtaining a waiver first.  They wax on how broken the MPAA system actually is, and also who’s job it might be on the starship Enterprise to clean up the holodeck after someone spends a little “me time” in there.
