No proper writ-up this week as I was really lazy and forgot to time-code everything and make notes while we recorded.
We went through the usual topics of What We've Been Watching and Terrible Movie Challenge (Disaster Movie is F*@king awful and the worst movie I've ever seen) .
Then Travis and I set Superman Returns against Man of Steel. We argue our cases as to which is the better movie. We also have some thought about what DC/Warner should do if BvS: DoJ fails.
* What we've been watching.
- The Ninth Gate; Archer; Extant: The Leftovers
- Better Call Saul; The Walking Dead; 11:22:63
(00:00:00-00:30:00)
* Terrible Movie Challenge continues with Travis watching Pluto Nash. The bet this week is from the world of MMA: Royce Gracie vs Ken Shamrock. George chose Ken (former WWE wrestler) Shamrock. Because of a low blow, George has to watch Invasion USA with Chuck Norris
(00:30:01-00:48:33)
* The Guttenberg Season concludes with Diner (1982). A tour de force of (then) upcoming actors. The new season will be a People of Politics/Elections. Our first movie is the wonderful, Wag the Dog.y
(00:48:44-01:16:59)
* This week's Topic of Discussion is on the subject of Piracy.

Hey guys,
We are fast approaching the end of our Steve Guttenberg Season. What we want to know is...
"What shall our next season be?"
The problem is choice.
We have a few options Travis and I have been throwing around, but we want to get your thoughts.
Our next season could be David Lynch, Tom Hanks comedies, best actor/actress winner roles, movies with 'age' in the title. If it's inspiring/interesting then let us know!

While we've got you, why not head over to https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/g-t-podcast-fried-brain-productions/id957337502?mt=2 and leave us a review! It all helps with exposure, improving the show and will put a big-ol' smile on our faces!
Lastly, we are starting the process of developing a little but of merchandising for G&T Podcast. As keen listeners of the show will know, Travis' favourite line is "Smell of an oily rag". Well, we are turning this into a tee shirt!
Travis’ viewing/gaming habits:
1) Black Hat
2) Mad Max
George’s viewing/gaming habit:
1) Ant Man
2) Scrooged
We also discuss our thoughts on the freshly released X-Men: Apocalypse trailer.
Then Travis challenges George to a spur-of-the-moment Imaginarium task... Choose any of the Studio Ghibli movies and adapt it to live-action.
Before we get started, we have a quick discussion about the new Star Wars trailer. We briefly drift into Star Trek as well.
Travis’ viewing/gaming habits:
The best got better.
Walking Dead Season 6, Dragon Age: Inquesition. GTV 5.
George’s viewing/gaming habit:
An under-rated classic.
Star Wars Rebels season 1, House of Cards, Jurassic World, John Carter, the Total Recall remake. The Decoy Bride, Safety Not Guaranteed. The Italian Job. Gamer. The Net. Preparation for Fallout 4.
Travis’ review of The Lawnmower Man 2:
worse than Old Dogs but not a painful experience. The Prologue makes a bit of sense, then it goes downhill. Targeted at young boys and piss-poor.
Maybe not a classic.
This Week’s Terrible Movie Challenge comes from the wonderful world of Argentinian Basketball. Sionista Vs Quimsa.
After losing the coin toss, Travis chose Sionista and won. Travis' team lost and so he must watch the terrible, the woeful, the painful Bratz! Meanwhile, because George won four times in a row, he had to spin the wheel of Heigl and must watch Caffiene.
Review of Animal Kingdom.
A bleak and talented Australian movie.
Next week’s Movie Will Be… Predestination.
A contemporary Australian movie that will close out our Australiana season.
George and Travis’ Top Five VR and Dark Internet Movies:
A modern classic
George:
1) The Matrix
2) Ghost In The Shell
3) Tron
4) Avalon
5) The Net
Glorious evil in such a meek way.
Travis:
1) The Social Network
2) Catfish
3) Disconnect
4) The Net
5) World on a Wire
