"The Show-Off," a cautionary film from 1954, courtesy of Skip Elsheimer at the A/V Geeks film archive, that "demonstrates that nothing scandalizes a classroom more than the wise-ass who sits in the back of the room. Sure, all the kids laugh at him but isn't he ultimately making things worse for everybody?"

"Takeru Kobayashi Cheated!" an explosive investigation by Gersh Kuntzman, who has seen his share of scandals as a veteran of the New York Post and the current editor of The Brooklyn Paper.

All hosted by Charles Star, a lawyer sans portfolio and a stand-up comedian sans recognition who lives in Brooklyn with his excellent wife, his awesome cat, and a newborn baby genius.
