Topic: Baftas

A minor controversy at the BAFTAs involving an actor with Tourette's syndrome prompts a discussion about the condition. The hosts recall Steve Jobs exhibiting a "head tick" during his 2005 podcasting announcement and compare it to similar physical tics seen in Stephen Miller and Adam Curry himself.

The hosts play a 2011 BAFTA speech by screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, who critiques the modern world as being built entirely on marketing and mass-produced entertainment. Kaufman argues that movies and media are designed solely to sell products, leaving people "lonely, empty, and scared." The hosts discuss Kaufman's perspective as a form of "hope" through honesty.
