This week, as Jason waits with bated breath, Chuck recounts his latest (and really first) fishing trip and consequent visit to the ER. Afterward, Chuck and Jason discuss Tropic Thunder and how epic the DVD will be and why it’s the best film in the Stiller cannon.
Apologies abound as Chuck and J realize that their summer movie roundup ended a little early. Chuck quickly moves the conversation to Wolverine: Origins as Jason seizes the opportunity to lambaste Chuck on his Ryan Reynolds man-crush.
As Gears of War on Xbox 360 makes an appearance via Terry Tate, office linebacker, Chuck and Jason get nostalgic for Resident Evil’s wonderful dialog. The podcast rounds out with the new Death Race and the original Death Race 2000 with accolades to Robert LaSardo.
OK I just found this on YouTube and I think it’s damn funny! Clearly some great writing and some pretty good production. Absolutely low budget, but these guys and gals did a really nice job for fans. Oh and the last line in the piece is NOT meant to be offensive at all
The news of the summer is certainly The Dark Knight and Jason and Chuck delve into it head on (right after Jason’s water polo match, of course). But first, reminiscing about Batman and Star Wars Christmas specials from the 70’s is up first.
The conversation tangents off (what else?) to Superman and,his magic allergy. Then a sneaky segue by Jason brings us to DC Universe Online and Worlds Collide then off to Batman Gotham Knight and extending movies beyond the screen.
Jason drops another video game bomb with the upcoming Wanted game and then Chuck gets us back to The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger’s phenomenal performance and the most bad-ass movie of the year.
The show wraps with Alan Moore’s genius/craziness and looking forward to Watchmen.
Tonight is the 13th episode of iconogeek and we start off with nailing cats and volleyball. Chuck and Jay discuss the Hulk briefly and why KITT makes Cesar late. Jason’s wallet lost and found, dumb-ass discounts, and Chuck and Cesar’s Excellent NYC Adventure.
Jason celebrates his second anniversary with seeing every movie currently released. Next up is the binocular inspired Wall•E and why it is truly an exceptional film for kids and 80 year-olds alike.
Chuck, confused by Nightwatch and Daywatch, tries to explain the movies to Jason (who is also confused by them) and it just goes horribly wrong. They both agree that Bekmambetov had clear talent that only needed a bigger budget to truly shine.
Jason then lambaste’s Chuck on his buckling to peer-pressure. The >i< score is discussed in-depth but is ultimately served a mortal blow.
Jason then breaks into Hellboy II and you’ll just have to listen to hear what he thought.
