      <title>Ring (1998)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><i>The Ring</i> was pretty big back in 2002, but it’s based on a Japanese movie of the same name. Or maybe it’s just <i>Ring</i>. Or maybe it’s *sigh* <em>Ringu</em>. Whatever you want to call it it’s a good film and a good place to start a podcast.</p>
