Clip it, cut it and put it on in. BTW it’s nowhere near as dirty as it sounds : Episode 12

Podcast IconFighting past weather and connectivity issues, Jason and Chuck soldier on. This week Chuck and Jason debate “28 Weeks Later” and discuss why zombie movies don’t have to jump the shark. Carrying over from last week, Jason offers his review of The Happening and the guys discuss the death of the Night twist and brow furrow acting. Chuck tangents off to “The Pursuit of Happyness” and marvels at Will Smith’s acting chops. Of course, this leads into another tangent on Scientology, Religion, Jesus = Fonzy, and the creation of a new geek religion.

With possibly the best segue in iconogeek history, Jason deftly steers the conversation back towards the Hulk. Jason delves into the movie’s CG and why Ang Lee’s Hulk now officially sucks. The >i< score is discussed in detail and Chuck offers a quick recap of Kung Fu Panda.

Wrapping up the June movies, the discussion turns to The Love Guru and whether Mike Myer’s humor is still relevant, albeit it does look funny. Get Smart follows as Chuck recounts fond memories of the TV show and why Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson does indeed kick ass.

Wall•E is next, but first, while Chuck feels Pixar = Roland; Jason hates “Cars”, seriously… he hates it. Lastly, Chuck and Jason discuss “Wanted” and how it just can’t miss, Timur Bekmambetov insane action sequences, and possibly the best freeze frame in trailer history.
