Syracuse University Professor Robert Thompson is widely considered the world authority on entertainment and pop culture. In this episode of Central Current Radio, Thompson and host Dr. Rick Wright enjoy a wide-ranging chat, from the fallout from Janet Jackson’s infamous Super Bowl “Wardrobe Malfunction” to Thompson’s picks of the best…and worst…TV shows ever. They also talk about what’s going on in Thompson’s very important corner of SU’s Newhouse School, the Blier Center for Television and Popular Culture.
