Show #24 – We hate everything! Except The Wrestler.

Yes! We’ve been away for over six months. Deal with it. We make no apologies. Well I might, but Al sure as hell doesn’t.

Luckily for you, between us, in that time we saw seven of the ten highest grossing movies of 2008, including the number one! Which movie was that? Hint: it was very dark. At night.

So mostly we talk about that, including both of our excuses on why we saw Mamma Mia, and we take two of the most lauded movies down a peg or three.

After all that, we get to recent movies, including Slumdog Millionare (AKA: “The one that’s going to win Best Picture, allegedly”) and of course, The Wrestler, a tailor-made piece of cinema for Al, who cries at Olympic closing ceremonies. In fact, that is where our opening ‘rawk’ comes from.

Don’t forget: if you haven’t already, subscribe on iTunes (No really: we’re going to do more) and ‘follow’ Al on Twitter (@Tagliners), one scratched DVD at a time.
