The whirling Dixons take a moment from their hectic schedule to breathe and podcast. The Hobbit circles fresh directorial meat. Marvel rebirths the serialized short format. Kent listens to Star Wars in concert while viewing National Geographic, and Michelle drinks a Slurpee while under attack from annoying superheroes. Oh, and a lack of sleep keeps our mom from continuing her five year mission. Maybe next week.

Email your questions, comments, and suggestions to Kent and Michelle. And be sure to check out their new site at ViewFromTheCouch.com.
