Ben has a sleepover party, Katherine drains her sinuses, Thanksgiving is coming, we review Incredible Hulk, some of you hate Expelled, and Advent is coming!

Kat's been taking the boys all over the place, we're taking a shopping day Tuesday, Netflix is ruining our lives, you guys add to our advice, and we discuss the good reasons to go to church.

This week: The election is over and camping was a success. We review Son of Rambow, The Hustler, and Into the Wild. We hear from you and answer (in a roundabout way) the question - things I wish I knew before I got married.

New cameras can't capture the essence of homecoming week vandalism or the fun of sleepovers, Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show is long on humanity (and profanity), your kids aren't going to hell if they trick or treat, and cycles of faith are just part of the human condition, not part of God.

This week: Fridge fixes and fall festival time. We talk about SNL, Palin, and a host of Hulu related time wasters.We read from your mail (answering questions about families reactions to NFP). Chris asks about Walk to Emmaus and we fill in a little about Crusillo.

This week, we go to ANOTHER wedding, our fridge died, The Orphanage is supper scary and we shouldn't be liturgy nazis.

This Week, we recap our trip to Savannah, talk about how great ER was, and hear from your emails.

CST #101: In this episode, the weather is changing and homeschool is off to a bumpy start. We review Baby Mama and Made of Honor. We hear about a listeners camping with critters experience and have a little rant session on the single-mindedness of the media.

A humid camping trip, hungry raccoons, the lack of sunscreen, new shows on Hulu, lots of email, and what this show has meant to us for the last hundred episodes.

Dog bowel events, Tropic Thunder, John Adams, and what we expect from our parish priest.

This week, Mac's getting a day off, we need to pray for the Gulf Coast, we revisit Casino Royale, and talk about a painful topic...circumcision!

The Boys started school, we read The Road & other stuff, lost of voice mail, and talk about the Catholic view of the "Personal Jesus".

Mac goes back to school totally unprepared, Guitar Hero III sucks Mac in, and we look at the Church's position on gambling.

Mac's last week of freedom, Ben discovers capitalism, Flight of the Navigator doesn't hold up, and we discuss what makes our marriage strong.

It's been a big week...especially around Kat's tummy area. We talk about everything from video games to books and revisit NFP.

We're back from two weeks off and a road trip to Blakely. Updates on Kat's mom, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles is boring, ER is not, Hulu rocks, and Penelope is good for the whole fam. Catholic stuff focusses on holding on to too much stuff.

We celebrate the 4th with good friends, fireworks, and a potato cannon; we tell you why you shouldn't see Wanted and should see Wall-e; and we look at the passion of St. Paul.

We are still on a high from the CNMC; we review the Happening, Lego Indiana Jones, and Bella; and talk about why we do what we do.

We didn't get a new show out this week, but we got several requests to post this online. This is the short "film" we used for one of our presentations at the CNMC. We were supposed to come up with a segment on blogging. This is what oozed forth from the creative spigot.

The week has involved lots of play dates, a rusty saw, and grizzly portrayals of trench warfare.  Colby stops by to tell us about the Ridgeline and we talk about God the Father.

Red dye and mysterious allergies, Mac sees First Blood for the first time, we recommend The Prestige for a second time, and Katherine takes the long way around to connect breastfeeding to the sacrament of marriage.

Not quite a show this week.  This is the only 10 minutes we could sqeeze out of 90 minutes worth of trying.  Too many interruptions... too many children... etc.

We're back from Chattanooga, Mac is almost a Master of Education and he's 32, Kat reviews Lars and the real girl, we talk about the Spiderwick Chronicles, and we've solved one of mankind's most mysterious... mysteries.
