As the 16th episode of iconogeek kicks off, Chuck and Jason delve into the much-anticipated “Preschoolers” HBO series, adventures in parenting, the dangers of Capri Sun, and why pets suck.
The term “Postal” is discussed and Chuck and Jason put it to the listeners to coin a new term. After which the discussion turns to Bangkok Dangerous, Elvis, Bubba Ho-tep’s sequel, and how cool Bruce Campbell is.
Chuck tasks Jason with reading Watchmen in preparation for the film, then the two discuss Fox’s bogus lawsuit against the WB and touch on the amazing story that is Watchmen.
The show continues with Jason professing his love for Tilda Swinton as the conversation moves from “Burn After Reading to Michael Clayton. RocknRolla enters into the conversation as Jason marvels at Guy Ritchie’s crazy cast of characters and then finishes up with a quick review of Babylon AD. But not before Chuck allows himself to lay into Doomsday once more (as if the post wasn’t enough).
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.
