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 first rookie mistake. We date the podcast. Yeah, we’re late. Sorry.

01:00 – Guess the 25 Word Review! Listen to both of us mangle the word ‘vigilantism’. You know how much easier it is to type this stuff?

13:40 – Al gets on the Spider-Man 3 trailer bandwagon… and boy, he ain’t happy.

20:10 – Rocky! Rocky! Apparently, the premise is “ridiculous”.

25:55 – “We’ve seen some films…” Al talks about… wait for it… BORAT!

32:30 – Casino Royale… hum the Bond theme with us, kids.

35:55 – Comparing torture scenes. Is Brosnan harder than Craig?

43:35 – Smokin’ Aces. Great damn trailer folks.

45:00 – Finished, and almost dead on the money. Thanks for listening!
