"We’ve been charged with telling new stories for a younger generation because they deserve what we all had — a mythology to call their own." Disney's announcement of new Star Wars films, theme parks, TV shows, and other goodies have us wondering — how much is too much? Do we need a new Spider-Man, a Fantastic Four reboot, more Star Trek, and another Avengers film? Where do artistic endeavors end and commercial franchises begin? Why do these stories keep repeating, despite our fatigue, and how do we keep them relevant? Special guest, geeky photographer and host of the On Taking Pictures podcast Bill Wadman.

Episode 59: Community, Community VS. Arrested Development, Top 5 TV Schools
“My umbrella concern is that you as a character represent the end of what I used to call ‘our show.’“ Community returns and we review the Yahoo! produced sixth season premiere. Does this new Community still have the same mix of meta, self-aware, existential angst of its former NBC self? Is there enough of the original cast to keep the show going? And what’s the deal with those tech problems behind Yahoo!’s launch? In the INFINITE CROSSOVER CHAMBER, it’s a streaming showdown between Yahoo!’s Community and Netflix’s Arrested Development. Class is in session as we rank our top 5 TV schools. 0:00 - 35:40: Community Season 6 Premiere; 35:41 - 55:20: INFINITE CROSSOVER CHAMBER: Community (Yahoo!) VS. Arrested Development (Netflix); 55:21 - 1:20:04: Top 5 TV Schools.
