NOBODY EXPECTS THE... uh, actually, I think everyone expects the Catholic Inquisition In This One. So yeah, Allen has a review for a fantastic show for us today. It's Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, which is a bit of an exaggeration of a historical character, sure, but that doesn't make the show any less great. As for next week, we have one question for you... WHAT'S IN THE BOX?! See you all then. -Stig Høgset.
