Lionel Chetywynd and my debut PJTV Show “POLIWOOD” – which will appear every Friday – has been posted for your viewing pleasure… and feedback, please. You can do that here or right next to the show online. (Yes, it’s free – non-subscription.) Lionel and I discuss Oliver Stone, Frank Capra, The Lives of Others and his own Hanoi Hilton.
Weekly, Lionel and I will be delving into that fabled (and often toxic) intersection of our entertainment industry and our politics. And we’ll have guests!

1. Steve:Wonderful. Is it possible to post links to during the program? There are many references to individuals and movies that may be unfamiliar to many viewers.
Oct 25, 2008 - 11:01 am 2. Roger L Simon:Thanks, Steve. I noticed the same thing too. When Lionel and I get to riffing, there are (alas) a lot of years between us and a lot comes out. Keeping up with it difficult for our over-stressed tech folks and editors. But we are looking into this.
Oct 25, 2008 - 11:07 am 3. heather:ditto, Wonderful. And I liked the ‘riffing.’ The story about the embargo on Lionel’s Hanoi Hilton and his interview with McCain is truly shaming to the guys at Warner.
I hope to see it after the election, though.
Please god, McCain is President then. Although I expect a huge lawyer foodfight whatever the outcome on the 4th.
Oct 25, 2008 - 1:40 pm 4. Scott:Very good,Roger,but trying to access it shut down my Firefox browser a couple of times…tried Opera and it came on just fine.I wonder if anyone else had that problem.
Oct 25, 2008 - 5:10 pm 5. heather:Scott: I use firefox, and I watched it via flash, and it worked just fine.
Oct 25, 2008 - 5:23 pm 6. Roger L Simon:Scott, some people have reported problems with PJTV with Firefox on some platforms, although fewer and fewer. I don’t have problems myself. I am on a Mac with Leopard. Still the preferred browsers for PJTV are Explorer (Windows) and Safari (Mac). I am glad to hear it is working well on Opera.
Oct 25, 2008 - 9:25 pm 7. Rob:I have tried to watch the video (basic level) three times. In each instance it crashes the browser (Firefox on a fast Intel Mac with OSX).
Oct 25, 2008 - 9:32 pm 8. Roger L Simon:Sorry to hear that, Rob. You could try this link…

Or just use Safari
Oct 25, 2008 - 11:28 pm 9. Martin Leaf:Was “No Country For Old Men” really about Islamic Terror ? Was Chigurh the personification of Islamic Terror ? Was there a strong Kabbalah theme throughout the movie ? Did this type of statement have to be hidden given Hollywood’s pro terror, anti America obsession ?
