The second season has come to an end and what a long, strange trip it's been.  John takes one last look at the episodes that made up the season and offers his thoughts on the season as a whole before moving forward into the third season.

 James Bond continues to hold the lead at the box office.  In fact, Spectre and The Peanuts Movie managed to hold the top two spots, beating out this weekend's new releases.  But can their reign continue as we move into the holiday sesaon and some of the blockbusters that are on the way?  Michael Falkner has this weekend's movie releases and more on a new Weekly Podioplex.
