This episode is presented by State Farm. Life's full of decisions, big and small, and sometimes

about that entire career. But first, you got home from Venice roughly three years ago,

but they've just given out the prizes to the film festival and some interesting results, some somewhat

controversial results. I've seen one of four. So I spent literally my entire life all summer

in Venice. I saw all of the movies except for the ones that they gave awards to. I messed up.

I don't know. Well, it happens. You know, it happens. At these long European festivals, you just can't see everything.
