Movie Moan - Violating Our Sacred Holes
Sun, December 16, 2012 UPDATE: The video version has now been updated and comes to you in the best possible presentation. Enjoy!
Years from now, film lovers will ask how much of Guillermo del Toro influenced The Hobbit. Look no further than the title of this week's show; a line directly from An Unexpected Journey.
The gang (Phil, Ed, Lou and Jamie) are joined again by Blue Tights Kingpin Justin Korthof of Six Okay and Gabe Toro, film critic for The Playlist and Jump Cut Junkies.
We get into the first chapter in Peter Jackson's Middle Earth prequel trilogy. Talking points range from the difference between a Goblin king to an Orc king, how every character needs a Quentin Tarantino-style subtitle, why mountains fight each other, arguing the merits of singing and dancing. Oh yeah and if the movie is good or not.
Ed gives his quote-worthy review of Lincoln calling it "better than Next of Kin" and how James Spader is a better Bilbo than Martin Freeman.
The rest of the show is what you've all been waiting for. It's trailer time. There's the seriousness and lack of Snyderization of Superman in Man of Steel, the "Blockbuster Mad Libs" opening of Star Trek Into Darkness, who the Hell is going to pay for the mass destruction and if there is any monster-on-robot sex in Pacific Rim, how good Tom Cruise looks in Oblivion, how long into After Earth does Will Smith die and whether or not The Lone Ranger is the Heaven's Gate of summer tentpoles. All of that plus Roland Emmerich orgasming to G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
We'll be back in January. Hope everyone has a great holiday and see you in 2013!

Can you guys add the critic (Gabe Toro?) to the podcast permanently? I've never laughed this hard at these podcasts in my life as I was laughing when he was talking. His intro review of the movie in particular was hilarious!
