In August, 2008, 18 mountain climbers reached the top of K2. 48 hours later, 11 people were dead.

With breathtaking cinematography and jaw dropping reenactments based on the testimony of those who survived the climb, the documentary THE SUMMIT puts you in the heart of events as though you are there.

Director Nick Ryan joins us (he’s the Irish voice on the phone) along with the heroic sherpa in the story Pemba Galjen.

Mark Monroe is our in studio guest and he wrote this documentary and his history is littered with some of the greatest documentaries of the last 10 years.  Specifically, his film THE COVE won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Film.  He also wrote THE TILLMAN STORY and CHASING ICE.

Mark Thompson asks Monroe about those films and about the riveting story that is the subject of THE SUMMIT.

J.Elvis Weinstein and Heather Ankeny join Mark!

ROUNDTABLE ROUNDUP SHOW….Some off beat items from the week’s news discussed by our award winning panel: Jimmy Dore, J. Elvis Weinstein, Heather Ankeny and Mark Thompson.

Warning: there is discussion of sex and some of it is a bit on the bizarre side.

The show starts with a story of self asphyxiation in Thailand… then it’s the sexual molestation cover-up in the Catholic church, Jimmy tells a tale of being in the literal hands of a molesting priest as a kid….

Paris Jackson’s suicide attempt prompts talk of “the fall of real information” and the utter irresponsibility of the media led by the celebritocracy reporters.

Jimmy goes after Harvey Levin and Mark defends Harvey.   Then Jimmy goes after Tom Brokaw (and Mark does not defend Tom) Google glasses as an every day gadget??

Gloria Allred has another press conference in which she announces she’s suing United Airlines because her client was exposed to a masturbating passenger for an entire cross country flight and we finish with Behind The Candelabra, the Liberace movie.
