Can’t Stop the Podcast: Reminiscing about Roger Ebert

Andrew, Jeff, and Ryan all gather around their microphones to pay one last tribute to the hero of film criticism and wonder what's going to come next.  No news or reviews this week, just a whole lot of great talk about Roger Ebert.

A selection of tributes we mention:
Werner Herzog talks about the death of Roger Ebert and, "What do we do now?"
A.O. Scott offers his thoughts.
Christy Lemire, whose touch on the show was all-too-brief, says goodbye.
Michael Phillips on Ebert, Chaz, and how classy they are.
Tasha Robinson, and many more, on what Ebert meant to them.
