During last night's open thread I brought up the "science" in the movie Interstellar. I think I was being a bit misleading there, making an implication that the physics behind some of the movie's concepts were incorrect.  I wouldn't know - I didn't watch the entire thing.  I ended up turning

Last week's theme for Request Line was "chemistry".  It took a little while for the Commentists' reaction to gain steam, but once it did, it got EXPLOSIVE!  In tribute to that, the pick of the week goes to Game Time Decision, whose request of "Volcano Girls" by Veruca Salt ticks
