If you haven’t seen the video from Harrison Ford’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, you owe it to yourself to watch it, especially since we have some technical difficulties integrating it into the show – those problems are because we’re now streaming on two sites for the live audience experience, something we discuss in the show’s opening. We review Cowboys & Aliens, pontificate... 

The show’s title comes from the new Avengers push that has come literally on the heels of Captain America: The First Avengers (stay through the credits of that film to see the teaser for next year’s The Avengers. If you missed Thor, you haven’t actually seen why Renner is being included in the super hero team. Meanwhile, we offer you three reviews of Captain America, sum up a little... 

It’s our last chance to talk Harry Potter with the final film in theaters. Both of our show reviews wind up being more anecdotal than review, but sometimes that’s how it is when something reaches the end. We also discuss the Neflix fiasco (with some explicit language the situation calls for) and look at Paul Newman’s The Hustler (unfortunately The Color of Money got caught up in one... 

We’re back with our second week of Paul Newman movies, one of which inspires the title of this week’s show. First up we review Horrible Bosses and get into why Harry Potter is this week’s big pick. Then it’s into Newman’s Cool Hand Luke, Sometimes a Great Notion, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, two of which we didn’t care for as much as we had hoped. We even fit in time... 

I’m not sure that our new theme music or new technical setup really constitute a “2.0″ version of the podcast, but we do like both elements regardless. Besides, Transformers upgraded to new parts, so why shouldn’t we? Tune in this week as we offer up reviews of Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Larry Crowne and dive into artist of the month Paul Newman’s work with George... 

A major figure and icon in the motion picture industry for over six decades, Paul Newman was not only a charismatic actor, but a born star capable of a wide variety of rolls without ever really changing his looks. After serving in WWII, Newman made his first picture in 1954, The Silver Chalice which flopped, and he apologized publicly for it, taking out a full page ad to do so. This rocky start behind... 

I still remember the marketing blitz behind Cars in the weeks leading up to the movie’s original theatrical release. Every day Disney / Pixar was releasing something new to promote the movie – in particular character wallpapers and posters. There came a point where I really started to worry whether Pixar had its first dud on its hands. After all, the studio had never worked so hard to promote... 

It’s the same story, time and time again. I meet people. It doesn’t matter what kind of people – just people. Teachers, technology advocates, fellow film lovers, shoppers at the store, and Leroy the homeless guy who sits on the island before the interstate holding up a sign asking for money (who is surprisingly well-versed in the films of Fellini). Inevitably, the conversation turns to movies....
