New Year's is almost upon us as we take in Travis' pick of the Western horror comedy Cannibal! The Musical, with a pulled pork BBQ appetizer. This divisive title provokes a definitive discussion on what is funny and what is not. Eventually, as expected, this spills over into television and the merits of the career of Neil Patrick Harris.
