justinmh05 1968 Posted February 28, 2014 Another incredible and informative episode. I love Network - so I was intrigued by this in depth discussion of the film. Can I request another in-depth episode on the Jean Doumanian season is SNL? Share this post Link to post
Kickpuncher 5012 Posted February 28, 2014 Great episode. I haven't seen the movie in a while, and I don't think any pre-existing knowledge of it would be necessary to enjoy this. Share this post Link to post
PhillipMedoc 648 Posted February 28, 2014 Even though it strayed somewhat from the usual format, this was a fantastic ep. When Jake's enthusiasm is matched with a guest equally passionate and knowledgeable, great conversation results. I could have listen to another hour. Share this post Link to post
Lukas Holmes 2287 Posted March 2, 2014 I think this was the best episode yet. It was different than the rest of the episodes but I loved the format. A really interesting topic mixed with a lot of data from both parties and clips that added to the trivia. Just a great all around episode. I've never seen NETWORK so I'm heading out to get it and pick up the book. Cheers! Share this post Link to post

Quasar Sniffer 4174 Posted March 3, 2014 Fantastic film. I'm passionate about listening to Jake being passionate about things. Great episode!This is why I love the Fogelnest Files. Jake finds ways to make listening to discussions of classic films like 'Network' just as fascinating as discussions on public access TV insanity. 1 Share this post Link to post
