Wait. So this isn't a movie about Jay Leno causing other hard-working comedians to starve by stealing their jobs and now those comedians are fighting back in an all-out epic, two-part roast?

A word with three whole syllables in a title? What is this - Shakespeare?

I'm not saying you are but I would never place responsibility for that on the work itself.

As I noted elsewhere here, I believe they are overselling its popularity - such as in the case of claiming there are "5 million Serial obsessives" - presumably on the base of misinterpretation/misrepresentation of facts and/or misreading of the pop culture climate. Which is ironic given the criticism directed at the…

As fellow Serial obsessives know—and there are more than 5 million of us now—Rabia Chaudry is the family friend of Adnan Syed who initially brought this case to Sarah Koenig at This American Life.
