If you liked "Dinner with Andre," then wait for the weekend, order in some Chinese and kill some very meaningfully spent time. The "cast" is uneven - which makes for nice juxtapositions. My favorites: Hammeroff, Ramachandran and the grad student in her mid-twenties (can't remember her name right off the bat). Hammeroff - an intellectual "tank." Ramachandran - succinct.

Although this box set was a bit pricey it was a high quality DVD production hosted by a talented ... Read More

If you are looking for fancy animations or backgrounds you won't find them in this set. The person simply sits in front of a blue background and speaks on their field. I'm not quite sure if it's entirely worth the $40, that's the only reason I ... Read More
