Closing Tabs started as a weekly look at news we didn’t cover on the site throughout the week. As the site has grown, however, we’ve moved away from reporting most news (you can catch most of it regurgitated on other sites anyway) in favor of more original opinions and editorials. Still, that news is out there, clogging up the tabs on our browsers.

We'll admit it - Woody Harrelson has very little to do with this week's podcast, but when you find a picture of him looking like a madman, you can't pass it up.

We credited Eli Roth with the creation of the “torture porn” sub-genre of movies - a subsection of film where creative and graphic ways of torturing victims on screen superseded plot or character development. I think it’s time to give Roland Emmerich credit for the disaster porn sub-genre.
