Episode nine of Couch Surfing finds John and Scott discussing the
differences between comics and movies as viable mediums of
storytelling. Scott talks smack about dormitory living and
teenagers, ensuring our audience doesn't get too big. John reviews
Justice League: The New Frontier, which he finds entertaining but
feeling very truncated. This leads into a discussion about the
live-action counterpart, which still seems to be moving forward.
The two of them question the credibility of i09.com, after a
contradictory article on the success of science fiction in movies
and TV. They push for a new measurement system to replace the
Nielsen Ratings, while praising the merits of watching TV online.
The following artists can be heard in this episode:
MGMT, Kaiser Chiefs, Coldplay, Tuatara, Eminem, The New Pornographers, Rod Stewart, Ash, Linkin Park, Devo, Elastica, Goldfrapp, Regina Spektor, Rilo Kiley, Stars, Cornrowz, Aerosmith, Vast, Danny Elfman and Republica.

I think this was the episode when I decided to become a devoted listener.
Yay - now you just have to get the rest up ASAP, cause I talk about Couch Surfing in Hypersensitive Ep 08 and link to it in my shownotes. So ... get cracking, mister! :)
