Episode 62 - Catch-Up and Commiseration

June 29, 2016

Jarman and Steve took a week off. Steve was on vacation, horrible things happened in Orlando where Jarman lives and where they both grew up, and so much more. It's been a tough few weeks, so be warned, we do a bit of venting, but then we cool off with some movie reviews, including Captain America: Civil War (Steve finally saw it), X-Men: Apocalypse, Independence Day: Resurgence and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. (MAN...all those movies really like their colons) 

For Nerdy News we discuss strange Canadian corpse-dissolving technology and a even stranger developing Universal Pictures monster-movie shared universe that is developing.

For Trailer Reviews we cover the zombie film based off the book, The Girl With All the Gifts and Kevin Smith's upcoming Yoga Hosers.

Episode 61 - The Dark Crystal and Zero Charisma

June 7, 2016

This week we introduce a brand new feature segment to the podcast: Retro Retrospective! Both Steve and Jarman pick one of their favorite movies that the other has not seen, and then they join up on the podcast to review them with each other. In future iterations of this segment they will surely not agree on why each movie should be a favorite, but this time around, they do! For this episode we review one of Steve's favorites, The Dark Crystal, from the genius mind of Jim Henson; and for one of Jarman's favorites, we review Zero Charisma, a film all about a misfit who runs some serious games of Dungeons and Dragons. Let us know what you think of the new segment!

For Nerdy News Steve tells us of 99 million year old ants and why human babies are so useless, and Jarman regales us with news of possible Captain Marvel casting in the MCU and how Elon Musk thinks we are definitely living in a computer simulation.

For Trailer Reviews we have the new and improved Star Trek Beyond trailer and the Mark Strong lonesome in space flick, Exploring the Unknown.

Episode 59 - Copy Cat Cinema - Red Planet VS Mission to Mars

May 4, 2016

Two movies with nearly the same plot, released in the same year...it's time for another addition of Copy Cat Cinema! This time with Red Planet VS Mission to Mars! Steve and Jarman both pick a film and have to fight to the death on which one is better...even though they are both pretty crappy...let's be honest.

We also cover some great Nerdy News with awesome discoveries in pre-historic dolphins, ancient homo-sapiens with some serious STDs, the Wheel of Time books getting a TV series, Game of Thrones interrupting porn, and Netflix announcing a standalone Punisher series!

For Trailer Reviews we have the Snowden bio-pic and the gun-happy remake of Magnificent Seven.
