"I'd like to walk that all back." In hot anticipation of Oppenheimer, we take a gander at a big classic: Dr Strangelove or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb (1964). Grab a snack because we get into Stanley Kubrick's directing style, the way we watch black and white movies, and how to go about our daily lives with the threat of nukes hanging above our heads at all times. (Pro tip: the trick is to stop thinking about it).
This week Mark and Jonny discuss episodes 165 and 166 of "King of the Hill", "Dale Tech" and "How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Alamo".

Oh, hi Mark! Welcome to Phantom Galaxy Episode 34. We return to kick off a big December full of podcasts with our first Cult Double Feature. Remember when looking in on and obsessing over the lives of seemingly mundane schlubs was the purview of the Truman Show? Reality TV vaporized that taboo long ago, and left us with a burnt-out wasteland of entertainment that sometimes still produces gems of absurdity. In this episode we look at two 'singular' individuals and the movies and cults they have inspired. First off, Nathan Seth and Chris study the cosmic badness of Tommy Wiseau's The Room and then review the new film 'The Disaster Artist', a manic account of the film's making. Then, we zoom into obscure cult territory with one of Chris' favorite movies; Windy City Heat or, How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Perry Caravello. Not only do we explore the small but obsessive fan base that has rallied around Perry, but we've also got a shout-out from the man himself! Jump down the cult movie rabbit hole for another crazy jaunt through The Phantom Galaxy! Phantom Galaxy is a genre podcast that releases every week. If you’d like to support the cast please subscribe free in iTunes, and leave a review for the show! You can also contact us and share your recommendations for show topics and stuff to review (books, beer, movies, whatever!) or leave us a Phantom Rant at Phantomcasts@gmail.com and check us out on Twitter @fantomgalaxy.

Galbicka, Gregory - Response Shaping and Percentile Schedules - or "How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Rank Orders" - In the Behavior of Organisms, Skinner detailed a process of differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a terminal response, subsequently termed 'shaping,' to create novel behaviors. Despite its fundamental nature in operant conditioning, shaping has little been studied, in either the laboratory or more applied settings. Owing to the dynamic nature of the interaction between shaper and responder, the 'rules' of shaping as typically practiced are qualitative in nature only, and shapers themselves are more often selected than shaped. Percentile schedules provide one means of formalizing these rules, generating as a consequence a more consistent arrangement between responses and reinforcements that may form the basis for an experimental analysis of the parameters involved in shaping, as well as easing the need to clearly delineate criteria a priori in applied settings. This formalization requires little mathematical ability. It does. however, depend on a perspective of viewing operant responses not as unitary events but rather as a population of behaviors clustered in time. This perspective is, I believe, in many regards closer to Skinner's original intent in defining operants.
