he's getting rid of his VHS rig & reviewed 'Watchman' as very well done &
true to the book <<as infuriating as that was>>

the comic buying part was weird and his mind was blown by 'Gumby'

Dave C reviewed Neil Gaiman on the 'Colbert Report' as awesome & worth full
price

Andy reviewed returning from the land of the Giant Drag Queens as not bad,
