Wow, I can’t believe I forgot to post this show! We get angry about #occupywallstreet, several bills that threaten internet creativity and distribution, My Little Ponies, and Victoria Jackson. There’s just so much to get mad about!

Another exciting and mildly unnerving Re:Fresh episode for you. Nate, Will and Joe talk about feeling really old, we honor the Cinemetropolis tour, Al Franken defends Net Neutrality, and Japan’s smooth erect purple dong. We’ve got tons of great tunes so listen close, you might learn something.
