   It's all the way through.  The movie segments have the riffing   
   entirely in the left channel and the movie soundtrack entirely in   
   the right channel.  The host segments have Joel, Crow and Servo's   
   voices entirely in the left channel and everything else (Magic   
   Voice, background sounds, etc) entirely in the right channel.   
      
   It's really odd, and makes the episode somewhat difficult to watch.   
   I wonder how it ended up that way.   
      
   For what it's worth, I just checked the recording of Cave Dwellers   
   that recorded last weekend and it has normal audio.
