For this week's entertainment-themed Round 2 podcast, Catherine and Terri chatted about the star-studded Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special that took over NBC this past Sunday night. Though they both missed the red-carpet portion (red-carpet portion? really?), Catherine recorded and watched most of the special, while Terri dipped in and out of it and caught up with online clips. They mentioned some likes and dislikes about the special, reminisced about Saturday Night Live of old, and generally wondered if this is really where anybody would have expected the scruffy disrespectful comedy show that started during Terri's high-school years to end up. (To watch clips that Terri mentioned, you can find Paul Simon in his turkey suit on Vimeo and John Belushi talking about feeding fingertips to the wolverines on Yahoo!)

Speaking of over-hyped self-congratulatory star-studded entertainment, we'll be live-tweeting the Oscars on Sunday, and hope you'll join us. Look for the hashtag #OscarsPRP, and study up on Terri's 10-Point Comfort Scale for Oscar dresses to get in the mood for our red-carpet commentary.
