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.
I had to. Everyone else is.
A little later than we’d like, but that does mean we got to see not one! But TWO new movies. As well as wailing on The Incredible Hulk and watching Marvel Studios shrug off our blows, we also managed to find the time to see… oh that film. The one with the guy? And the whip? The hat?
Yes, after what seems like an ETERNITY of listening to Al talk about Indiana Jones IV, FINALLY he gets to see it. What does he think? Was his life changed forever? Did he wet himself? Find out in this show. PLUS! The Indiana Jones that almost was… I’ve read the Frank Darabont draft of Indy IV and I’m gonna talk about it.
On top of that, we can’t stop arguing about who should play Captain America (Hint: I like Will Smith, Al likes Adam Sandler), talk a bit about the new (and old) Death Race, and even mention that new Punisher: War Zone trailer (“It’s so HOT right now!”) and naked men fighting in Eastern Promises.
Next time – maybe even more movies.
After dragging Al back to the microphone… we’re back again just in time to talk about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – jeez, even typing that title is a pain in the ass. Just assume when we say ‘Indy’ we’re talking about that flick, yeah?
As well as that obsessive rambling from both of us – which hasn’t been this bad since ‘The Phantom Menace Period’ – I actually got to the movies to see Iron Man, and have plenty to say about that in a spoiler-filled chat, which naturally leads to plenty of geeky talk about Marvel’s movie slate for the next three years.
As well as all that, we let the Wachowskis know what their next career move should be after Speed Racer’s flop, give you the skinny on what James Cameron should do after Avatar and also decide the fate of the Spider-Man franchise. All before 40 minutes is up.
It’s a good one folks, or at least I think it is – hell, I laughed out loud, and I was there when we recorded it.
PS: Back to good ol’ MP3 this time out. Screw Garageband.
