On this week?s episode, our critics discuss the year in movies including the best of 2012, standouts previously discussed on the Culturefest, and Gabfester favorites. Then, Slate columnist Dan Engber joins the conversation to discuss the NBC reality show The Biggest Loser, obesity in American culture, and a study that sheds new light on the link between weight and mortality. Finally, the critics consider the American shopping mall and how it came to be, its unique place in popular culture, and whether we?ll miss the mall when it?s gone.
Here are some links to the things we discussed this week:
Julia?s pick: Tom Hooper?s 2008 HBO series John Adams.
Outro: ?Valley of the Malls? by Fountains of Wayne
