TV critic Dan Fienberg, from The Hollywood Reporter & The Fien Print, joins Nick to discuss Jon Stewart's return to "The Daily Show;" the final season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm;" FX's new version of James Clavell's "Shogun;" Dan's "TV's Top 5" podcast, and much more. Then, Nick and Esmeralda Leon talk about the idiocy of Criss Angel - Mindfreak; an obscure VH1 dating show called "The Pick-Up Artist;" and they talk about classic movies that many people haven't actually seen like: "Casablanca," "Gone With the Wind," "Titanic," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (which Esma actually watched in her high school's health class!) and more. They also agree that both "Top Gun" movies are awful, and have a rowdy discussion about that...and they taste test some French candy. [EP223]
