Original-Cin’s Jim Slotek, Bonnie Laufer, Karen Gordon, Liam Lacey and moderator Gene Valaitis talk about the “Bird Box Challenge” (people doing things blindfolded like Sandra Bullock in the Netfix movie). Is it the next logical step, after the Tide Pod-eating craze, in winnowing the population of stupid people?

We also celebrate Joe Pesci coming out of retirement for Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman (and predict how long Daniel Day-Lewis will stay IN retirement), wonder whether 50 years is “too soon” for Quentin Tarantino to be making a Charles Manson movie, and ponder the logic behind Disney remaking its animated classics as CGI-assisted live-action movies.
