Re: Japanese Monster Movies. I have to admit, I haven't watched any since I became an adult. Probably my loss. But any time I need a bad dubbing fix, I just tune in Iron Chef.
Re: Talk Shows. For a soft interview, Ellen DeGeneris is the best around right now. She's sweet, she's funny, she lets the guest be himself, or herself, and it's a friendly show. For a hard interview, Greta van Susteren (on FoxNews) is at the top. She gets her facts about a subject, and then gets the information she's after from the interviewee. None of that pompous self-aggrandizing, the way that other talk-show personality behaves on his FoxNews show.
