Summary

"Snow exposes complacently a complete ignorance," says F.R. Leavis in his 1962 lecture on C.P. Snow's "Two Cultures." "The judgement I have to come out with is that not only is he not a genius; he is intellectually as undistinguished as it is possible to be." The boys discuss this devastating moment in literary history and also enjoy a bit of banter about how handsome Hugh Grant is in this movie we watched.
