Last week David Pogueąs New York Times technology blog came in dead last
among the various news organizations covering the release of the
RiffTrax player,
http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/04/the-new-improved-heckling-of-mo
vies/ and since the column was weeks late and covered no new ground, we
let it go by.
However, our old pal Bob Garfield at WNYCąs łOn the Media˛ saw the piece
and apparently decided it was as good a reason as any to interview Bill
and Kevin, so now I guess we have to mention it.
