It's Here! It's Finally Here! An Episode of CRIZZLE'S CRITICAL CONDITION!!!! Praise God! Praise Allah! Praise Dame Helen Mirren!

First off, I'm sorry.

For the six of you who were expecting podcasts last week, there's a really good reason you didn't get any: I couldn't get anyone to put them up.

But, dang it, it's a new day, and I'm hoping I can get on track where I can give you several podcasts this week. And today's installment is a doozy. I talk to the overtalented Phonte Coleman, one-half of Little Brother and the Foreign Exchange and quite the exuberant podcaster in his own right. But he's also a to-the-point film critic as well, as anyone who has seen his "Movie in a Minute" YouTube clips can attest.

We discuss what films he finds "hard," why he won't invest his hard-earned money in "Transformers" (good man!), what's wrong with Hollywood and other film-related issues. I also beg him to give the N & O a shout on his podcast. As you can see, we need all the help we can get. You can also download it here.

TOMORROW (HOPEFULLY): That long-overdue podcast with the Chapel Hill guy.
