Ahead on this edition of Ozarks: Tontitown is in the middle of its 115th grape Festival. A lot of chickens, a lot of spaghetti and a lot of rolls are coming out of the parish hall kitchen. Plus Brandan O'Connell visits with me at the spot of some of his greatest inspiration or art: the aisles of Wal-Mart. And in just a few minutes we catch up with Roby Brock as he begins Campaign 2014 coverage, more than a year before election day. Yesterday he spent a day with Congressman Tom Cotton as he launches his campaign bid against Senator Mark Pryor. Today Roby is traveling with the senator.

Our ten clips saluting science! 1. Thomas Dolby and the 80s anthem, She Blinded Me with Science. 2. Greer Garson as Marie Curie in the 1943 movie, Madame Curie. 3. Those kings of nerd rock, Barenaked Ladies, sing The History of Everything, 4. Peter Sellers (and Peter Sellers) in Dr. Strangelove. 5. Blondie and that 80s anthem, Atomic. 6. The work of the Absent-Minded Professor becomes public to the citizens of Medfield. 7. Oingo Boing and that 80s anthem, Weird Science. 8. Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox and a DeLorean in Back to the Future. 9. Colin Clive, as Dr. Frankenstein, is somewhat proud of his creation. His attitude will change. 10. Tom Leher (of course!) sings The Elements. Apologies to: the other kings of nerd rock, They Might be Giants, all of those other mad scientists, The Andromeda Strain, Jesse Pinkman and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker (two of the best muppets). Maybe next time.
