David Morris, Ph.D.; Alec Tefertiller, Ph.D., & Lindsey Maxwell, Ph.D. Season 2 Episode 33

This week, the Nuts talk about the Oscar nomination controversy surrounding Andrea Riseborough, which leads to a larger conversation about how technology rules typically trail technology innovation. David watched the much-maligned series Velma so the rest of us don’t have to. Other topics include the streaming show Poker Face, streaming movies You People and Vengeance, and the debate over whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich. The Nuts end the episode by discussing AMC’s decision to introduce tiered pricing in its theaters. Also, Alec may or may not eat pigeons.
