The Head Mime riffs on Dog Shows

This week, the Head Mime reviews the 2009 film, "The Men Who Stare at Goats." Based on the non-fiction book of the same name, "Goats" was a star-studded sleeper that never awoke. The Head Mime examines the difference between the fictionalized version of the story portrayed in the movie and the true-life story of real goats, and re-enacts the crucial goat-staring scene for listeners.     Please subscribe to us on iTunes, and visit our facebook page at facebook.com/mimeseverywhere.

This week, in a nod to the domain one of the Head Mime's favorite podcasts, Lexicon Valley, we deconstruct the now ubiquitous phrase in everyday English, "A Perfect Storm." How did this phrase among all book and movie titles make its way so completely into all parts of daily conversation? Why not, "A Passage to India," or "Absolom! Absolom!" or even "The A Team?" Did some confluence of events occur, by rare coincidence, and combine at the optimal moment to bring the phrase into such prominence? The Head Mime explores the possibilities this week, on the Mimecast. Please subscribe to us on iTunes, and visit our facebook page at facebook.com/mimeseverywhere. Have a question for the Head Mime?
