Culturefest is on the radio! ?Gabfest Radio? combines Slate?s Culture and Political Gabfests in one show?listen on Saturdays at 7 a.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. on WNYC?s AM820.

On this week?s episode, Slate Brow Beat editor David Haglund joins the Culturefest to first discuss House of Cards, Netflix?s new original series, and how to watch and discuss a TV show that is released one entire season at a time. The Gabfesters then ponder Vine, the new video-sharing app from Twitter that makes every smartphone user into a six-second video auteur. Finally, as the Academy Awards approach, our critics discuss the Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook, David O. Russell?s romantic dramedy. They consider where it stands in the David O. Russell oeuvre, the movie?s strong performances, and its portrayals of mental illness. ?

Here are some links to the things we discussed this week:

Julia?s pick: Seasons 1 and 2 of Law & Order (the pre-Jerry Orbach years), which offer a fascinating portrait of the issues that preoccupied NYC in the 1990s.

David?s pick: Janet Malcolm?s classic nonfiction work, In the Freud Archives. And the Staples Singers 1965 album Freedom Highway.

Dana?s pick: One of the best comedies of the last 20 years, David O. Russell?s 1996 movie Flirting With Disaster, featuring an all-star cast including Ben Stiller, Patricia Arquette, T?a Leoni, Alan Alda, Lily Tomlin, Mary Tyler Moore, and George Segal.

Outro: ?Freedom Highway? by the Staples Singers
