We start with an update from Mexico, where the discovery of remains believed to belong to 43 students teachers who went missing six weeks ago has set off massive demonstrations. Then, why is there a no-fly zone over Disneyland? In our weekly TV roundup, an open letter to Sunday night television. Next, we hear from Bill Nye the Science Guy about the debate over evolution versus creationism and why he believes it’s key to American progress. Finally, we break down the scientific accuracy of the film Interstellar.
