Back before you knew it, and we’ve both been to the flicks – myself to see Joe ‘Narc’ Carnahan’s Smokin’ Aces, and Al went off to see Ed Zwick’s – or is it really Leo DiCaprio’s? – Blood Diamond. A nice, quick, sub-30 minutes podcast for the busy moviegoer on the, well, go.

Listen in to hear all about those two flicks, as well as the latest crazy news about the proposed Hobbit movie, Indy IV and more. Show notes below…

SHOW NOTES

00:00 – The King gets us started. We’re looking for a theme tune, can you tell?

00:50 – This is the news… is Sam Raimi potentially going to direct The Hobbit?? And if so, who’s Bruce Campbell going to play?

03:43 – Indiana Jones IV… god save us… will Sean Connery be in it? Are nuns Catholic? Well, depends on the nun, doesn’t it?

05:20 – Darren Aronofsky. Put down the crackpipe and put your hands up against the wall, dude. He’s off on one about Batman, again….

13:13 – I’m up with my thoughts on Smokin’ Aces. To summarise: no, I won’t tell you. Listen to it, dammit.

20:05 – Al tells us all about Blood Diamond, and yes, that is an excuse for him to do the accent again.

28:10 – Wrapping up and saying goodbye.

That’s it for now – come back soon for more podcast fun. In the meantime write us an email, send us a voice message or leave a comment on the site… g’wan, we wanna know you’re out there!

Back again after less than a week! But considering Show #4 took a week and a bit to edit, that isn’t saying too much.

Now sporting a new and improved ‘theme’ – well, alright, a bit of music from a movie soundtrack we hacked into place at the start. Still, we’re getting there….

This time out we talk about the big Christmas movies we’re being forced into getting excited about, Eddie Murphy, The Prestige (again), Stranger Than Fiction plus Tenacious D’s debut flick… are they as good on screen as they are on CD? Download and find out.

Show notes

00:00 – Our ALL-NEW intro blip – Spybreak by Propellerheads, from The Matrix OST

00:34 – Guess the 25 Word Review! A funny Wayans brothers movie?

01:35 – News! The legend of Eddie Murphy.

03:54 – Oscar buzz… for Dreamgirls… and for Eddie Murphy? ‘Tis true.

05:10 – That article in the New York Times Al mentions? Here.

06:27 – Norbit. Eddie’s next Oscar-winner.

08:45 – Al’s seen the trailer for Blood Diamond. Cue Leo impressions.

11:15 – Arnold Vosloo. You remember him, he was in the sequels to Darkman…?

12:15 – Eragon. Oh God, do we have to endure THREE of these things….

16:15 – In the Name of the King… haven’t heard of it? It’s a Uwe Boll movie. I don’t blame you.

17:45 – The Wired account of Uwe Boll’s boxing match… here.

18:35 – The Big Christmas Movies! Baby Jesus, what have we done to deserve such paltry fare??

22:55 – “So basically, the most boring Christmas for a long time?”

23:00 – Another chance for me to rib Al about not seeing Casino Royale. And some strange stuff about Al’s aversion to Daniel Craig’s naked form.

24:00 – Al has seen… er… Pirates of the Caribbean 2. And didn’t like it, oh no.

25:30 – Al on Brick… the one with the guy whose name we can never remember.

27:40 – Al got out the house to see The Prestige. You remember that. It was out in 2006.

31:00 – Stranger Than Fiction… yes, I get to see movies that come out close to our ‘broadcast’ date.

34:22 – Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. Boy, what a let-down.

37:35 – The Fountain… which we haven’t seen, but can’t seem to stop talking about anyway. Oh, here’s the Wired article Al and I read.

39:20 – The 25 Word Review… revealed!

40:20 – Wrapping up with a big bow.

That’s it for this one – send us an email at taglinepodcast AT gmail DOT com!

Our very first podcast. Don’t expect much, unless what you expect is the two of us talking about movies for close to an hour, laughing more than is probably regarded as professional and swearing occasionally.

But just occasionally, mind! I view this as a real step forward for us.
