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.
In this week's thrilling episode...
Travis is challenged to watch Gogglebox.
George has a few suggestions for new directors and actors to take over Indiana Jones
George and Travis delivery their review for Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever. The review itself may be better than the movie.
Finally, George and Travis offer up the chance for you, deal listeners, to choose which of the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" they will watch for next weeks episode.
In this weeks episode we get carried away discussing animation for the adult audience (sorry, not the porn variety). We also gush over the awesomeness of Kill Bill Vol: 1 and set ourselves the wonderfully terrible task of watching Ecks Vs Sever.
Then after the break (yeah, we've included a break in the show!), we have our first ever special guest, Trudi Rawnsley. Travis asks us about the first games that grabbed us by the balls and wouldn't let us go.
Finally, George poses the question of what does the future hold for computer games, the eco-systems they foster and where in the world does Nintendo fit in?
As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions about the show, we would love to hear from you!
In this episode George and Travis review the classic, Total Recall and set up the next Terrible Movie... Batman and Robin
In this episode our intrepid heroes discuss what movies they've been watching and the merits of TV verses movies. We also nominate two rarely seen movies that we feel you should watch... The Brothers Bloom and Triangle.
Finally, we begin setting out a plan for forthcoming episodes.
Two in a row!
Topics of discussion:
What have we been watching; Travis and George debate the best TV shows out right now -- Black Mirror vs Penny Dreadful; George has a little rant about Idiots Guide books.
We then discuss the final instalment of The Hobbit movies and Travis brings up a good point... where were the Elvish archers during the battle of the five armies.
We go off topic for a moment and talk about Star Wars.
Then we talk a little about Disney's Big Hero Six.
Pixar and Disney get a diagnosis from The Pom and The Aussie as well.
We then get derailed with some War Propaganda.
Finishing up this episode, we dissect the rumour of Batman Vs Superman's split and question the value of the "Premium" experience.
In this episode we introduce ourselves and get side-tracked by topics as diverse as:
George's forthcoming comic series, "Volition",
Travis' first encounters with comics,
The MCU and DCU movies,
Showing respect to source material,
Paying respect to Kevin Smith for showing us the way,
We pitch an idea for Michael Bay's "The Bible",
Philip K Dick,
Nicholas Cage,
World War Z,
The Wire,
The future of Spiderman and what we'd like to see them do,
Will we ever get a full Marvel Character roster including X-Men?
Does gender matter for lead roles?
Director Cuts
...and...
Are we about to see the computer game movie renaissance?
Wow we really get around in this episode.
