The Existential Mr Rogers

RMB is a rare jewel amongst an overcrowded realm of talking heads. His in-depth knowledge of film and the entertainment industry in general are virtually unmatched. His show is basically his ability to extemporaneously speak on any question or subject that comes from an audience letter or question. He can give in depth analysis on all things entertainment. Just download and listen and you will hear for yourself.
