It doesn't end there as we answer several more of your questions and power through all our regular segments including Over/Unders, Buy or Sell, Watch This or Watch That and the brand new game that's sweeping the nation... Would You Rather? And on top of all that I give you a few nuggets from my interview with Rian Johnson (Looper), which will be going online later this week.
