Phoenix watched Time Enough At Last and had a lot to say about the surrounding characters that back up Burgess Meredith's character Henry Bemis (who may or may not have Aspergers). Phoenix also relates his reading obsession with being a word junkie. Why is everyone around him a horrible piece of shit? Seriously? They're downright 'doggerel". Phoenix explains it all in this episode.
