Movie Moan - Hold Your Breath And Count To Ten

I can't get that friggin Adele song out of my head.  But what would you expect?  I have seen 'Skyfall' three times and, for the first time in Movie Moan history, you'll be able to see me doing it.

We are also delighted to be joined by producer, director, and special features magician Mr. Roger Lay Jnr. to finally talk in some detail about 'Phoenix Rising', the reboot of 'Captain Power And The Soldiers Of The Future', as well as preview all the amazing bonus material that will be included on the Season 2 Blu Ray release of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'. 

Spare a thought for Robert Meyer Burnett once you've seen him in the video by the way.  His flight was grounded so he's stuck in the UK right now.  There's a paypal link at the bottom to raise funds for him:

3 mins - Coming to you from the Odeon Leicester Square and the BFI IMAX, join Phil Gee and Robert Meyer Burnett as they experience Bond 23 in the middle of the biggest day in UK box office history and provide a spoiler free, but in-depth, review.

44:30 mins - Back with Jamie and Roger, I answer some follow up questions and we discuss the possibility of Bond 24 & 25 being made back to back as one epic story.

65:25 mins - Our in-depth interview with Roger talking about Trek, Phoenix Rising and I pester him once again on the status of 'Toy Masters'.

Movie Moan - Marveling At The Future (in INTERUPTO-VISION)

Welcome to my new favorite episode.

Nothing in geek culture right now is as much fun as discussing Marvel movies so this week Movie Moan is proud to present an in-depth two hour plus discussion on the future of the entire Marvel film canon (both those properties under Disney's belt and those still out of their grasp), and equally proud to discuss it with special guests Justin Korthof and Randall Maynard.

But we are supremely honoured to present our first show in INTERUPTO-VISION.

In the same way that the film industry has hooked onto techniques to enhance the theatre going experience like 3D and IMAX, it's about time the podcasting industry did the same.  Especially since ours is one of the few to give you good folks a video option.

So we are proud to present tonight's show, our longest ever to my recollection, in the startling new technology of INTERUPTO-VISION.  INTERUPTO-VISION is the process by which good manners and respect for Phil's job as moderator completely go out the window for all other members of the podcast and everyone just starts mouthing off like crazy to prove their points until it all becomes noise that Phil can't even edit out.

What's that?..............The show has always been like that?  Point taken.

7:20 mins - Should there be a completely unified Marvel film universe with one studio in control of every character?

14:30 mins - How to rebirth 'The Fantastic Four'.

22:00 mins - 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past' and 'The Wolverine'.

48:30 mins - 'The Avengers Part II' and the Thanos conundrum.

62:25 mins - 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' needs Beta Ray Bill.

68:20 mins - 'Namor: The Sub Mariner' (the one nobody talks about).

75:50 mins - 'Thor: The Dark World' and 'Captain America: The Winter Solider'

84:10 mins - 'Iron Man 3' (this is where the podcast starts getting ugly).

95:00 mins - 'The Spectacular Spider-man' (nope, things don't get any rosier here).

112:10 mins - Marvel on television (SHIELD, Hulk, and Daredevil).

Movie Moan - The Winter 2012 Predictions Power Hour (Or Two)

As promised a few weeks ago, Phil, Jamie, and the master of predictions Mr. Shawn Robbins of BoxOffice.com have returned to do battle once more in an epic show which we are proud to present in our classic Movie Moan format of full-on video enhanced glory.

I'm sure you folks know the drill by now (and I explain it all again in the show anyhow).  We've cast our eyes at 15 of this Winter's biggest film releases, covering November and December, and will each make our prediction on each film's US domestic gross.  For some reason, Phil thought this would be a tighter show than the summer version; fat chance of that.

So don't forget to join in too.  Leave your predictions in the comments section below and if you could present it in a nice little list like the one you see below it would be a big help to me when collating the results for February's follow up.  If you want to skip to a specific prediction then here are the cliff notes:

5:10 mins - Wreck It Ralph
14:35 mins - Flight
21:40 mins - Skyfall
36:10 mins - Lincoln
46:25 mins - The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II
56:15 mins - Rise Of The Guardians
64:50 mins - Life Of Pi
71:10 mins - Red Dawn
75:15 mins - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
92:40 mins - Monsters Inc. 3D
97:55 mins - Zero Dark Thirty
101:10 mins - Jack Reacher
106:40 mins - This Is 40
107:20 mins - Django Unchained
112:50 mins - Les Miserables

NOTE: Shawn is so deseperate to win on his crazy Hobbit prediction that he emailed me after we recorded to qualify his answer further.  So here it is:

"The Hobbit goes as Howard Shore goes. I'm a believer in strong musical scores either carrying an otherwise mediocre movie and/or elevating a great movie to an even higher status. Without him, as great as LOTR is, it would lose a lot... and I think a similar principle applies for the Hobbit movies. He's the John Williams to this franchise's Star Wars. The question is how strong his new score will be."

Movie Moan - The Dredd Of Being A Master Looper

It fills me with pride this week to introduce Movie Moan's second ever British participant, filmmaker, writer and journalist for 'HeyUGuys.co.uk' Mr Ben Mortimer (who you can also catch on Twitter right here).

And it's a good old wannabe critics roundtable this week as we spent 100 mins on back to back reviews of some of 2012's most interesting and divisive films to date.  So join me, Ben, Capt. Ed Hocken and Jamie Williams to discuss:-

3:30 mins - 'Looper'; not the action packed blast of fun that a lazy critic poster quote would have you believe or a film that everybody loves.

34:35 mins - 'Dredd'; since it was really Hocken's review that we all wanted to hear, join him and Ben as they spew more love on 2012's biggest surprise.

51 mins - 'The Master'; Jamie and Hocken talk us through the latest acquired taste from Paul Thomas Anderson.

70:50 mins - 'Bond 50'; Phil gives you the lowdown on whether the ultimate Blu Ray 007 boxset is worth upgrading from the previous thousand times you've bought all these bloody films.

87:10 mins - 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower'; Hocken works some overtime as he squeezes in one last little review.

Movie Moan - Raiders Of The Unexpected Journey Into Darkness

As we announced at the end of last week's show, Movie Moan is changing format slightly so no full-on regular video shows at the moment.  However, for those of you who prefer to listen to us at your computer, the good old Blip TV version is still available above each week.  Please forgive the no-frills version this week as we're still figuring out exactly what the presentation of the show is going to be from now on.

As the fall 2012 season of Movie Moan begins, we kick things off with the wonderfully welcome re-appearance of writer, producer, director, Robert Meyer Burnett as he joins Phil and Jamie to discuss:

1:45 mins - Bragging that Robert and Phil get to see 'Skyfall' on October 26th (together) and Jamie doesn't.

10:40 mins - Jamie and Phil review 'Dredd', a four star piece of fried gold that deserved to make a lot more money than it did.

37:10 mins - What does Robert, one of the few people we've talked to who didn't enjoy 'Star Trek' (2009), think of its sequel's rather odd title 'Into Darkness'?

63:45 mins - New 'The Hobbit' trailer, new 'The Hobbit' rant.  Well it's been a while hasn't it?

83:10 mins - As 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' returns to the big screen and the 40 inch plasma screen with its blu ray debut, we look back on its impact and legacy back from a time when we had to wait more than three months for a film to come out on home video.
