Movie Moan: Bat-Shaped Cough Drops

Sir Michael Caine will do to Halls Cough Drops what the late Michael Gough did for Diet Coke if the Movie Moan crew has their way! Because The Dark Knight Rises is starved for attention as you all know.

Captain Ed Hocken reviews the British sci-fi/horror/comedy Attack of the Block to much praise, while keeping details vague (because there are some movies even we don't want to give away!) Meanwhile, Queen Kristina and Jamie rip the shit out of Cowboys & Aliens and praise Rise of the Planet of the Apes to no end. Yes, spoilers on both and yes, Jamie acknowledges he was dead wrong labeling the Apes prequel the flop of the summer. Good to wrong sometimes!

In the week of the news, the group focuses on two big first-looks for forthcoming superhero epics: Henry Cavill as Superman in The Man of Steel and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. Lots of joking at the expense of fandom and their over-analyzing and nit-pickiness ensue.

Apologies for any audio issues, folks. The British Gentleman agent Phil Gee should be back next week from his (well-deserved) vacation and we're working with what we've got. Hope you enjoy nonetheless!

Movie Moan: Before And After Jack & Jill

The nice thing about our previous podcasts is that we can always listen back to them and remember a time before we watched the trailer for Adam Sandler's latest abomination; a simpler, happier time.  But we don't live there anymore, we have seen it, and words can't desribe how we feel.

To get us through this difficult time, and in the absence of Captain Ed Hocken (who was off eating a big sandwich and preventing global-terrorists from world domination), the Movie Moan gang is joined by a new addition to the team, Anderson of AndersonVision fame.  Tonight he joins us in discussing:

2:24 mins - A brief announcement regarding next week's very special show.

4:55 mins - Anderson's 'to the point' review of 'Zookeeper'.

6:10 mins - The potentially stupid idea of rushing 'Thor 2' to a July 2013 release date.

13:45 mins - Moneypenny finally joins the rebooted Bond universe and Phil couldn't be happier.

22:15 mins - Reactions to the teaser trailer for 'The Iron Lady'.

25:55 mins - Abandon all hope, it's the 'Jack & Jill' trailer.

30:55 mins - All things Comic-Con 2011 (the fact that nobody is showing up, 'The Amazing Spider-man' stealing the show by default, the futility of video game movies, and even some great examples of bad parenting).

43:48 mins - The Moan of the Week - 2001's 'Ghost World'.

Please note that due to technical problems, there is no MP3 or full video enhanced version of the show this week but you can still listen to the show on Blip video above.  The full video version of the 'moan of the week' however, can be viewed separately here.

Movie Moan: Trash Talk, Trailers & Transformers

It's official.

Nobody has to listen to any of Jamie's claims ever again. For the second time this summer, he's gone against his own promises and watched a movie he claimed he wouldn't. That's right, he sat through Transformers: Dark of the Moon.  Be warned, by the end of this week's show the relationship between Jamie and Phil will be forever changed.  Here's what is on docket for this show:

3 mins - Transformers: Dark of the Moon review (includes exclusive footage of Michael Bay's cut of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King).

35:30 mins - Trailer reactions to War Horse (aka Jamie Vs. Everyone Else).

39 mins - Trailer reactions to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (aka support your British film industry).

41:35 mins - Trailer reactions to Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (aka where's Ving Rhames?).

47:40 mins -Trailer reactions to Paul 'weak-shit' Anderson's The Three Musketeers (aka Jamie goes too far).

As always, please enjoy us as an MP3 below or as a visual treat above.

Movie Moan: Captain America - The Great Satan

According to Queen Kristina's sources, that's the title being used for some of the international markets on Captain America. Hmm, sounds about right.

Speaking of the Devil's work, Jamie has committed blasphemy and actually walked out of a Pixar movie...only to return after 20 minutes. Here's what is on this week's menu:

3 mins - Jamie's Cars 2 review.

13:20 mins - Please rise for our national anthem - the new Captain America trailer.

21:30 mins - We play the common sense police over the supposed theory that Warner Bros. will make Green Lantern 2.

26:20 mins - The new Rise of the Planet of the Apes trailer that was...surprisingly great

30:10 mins - The British Gentleman Agent lets it all out over the news of I, Claudius being remade.

42:20 mins - The "Moan of the Week" with Kristina's pick – the underrated, but very charming Stardust from director Matthew Vaughn.

The audio version for you iPod Shuffle packin' folk is below but don't miss all the visual treats you'll get in our video version above.
