It’s a review-heavy show this week as we offer up our opinions on three of this weekend’s new releases; we didn’t see Journey 2 but do discuss Safe House, The Vow, and enjoy a rather lengthy deconstruction of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. We briefly turn our attention to the music world with the death of Whitney Houston and Madonna’s Super Bowl performance... 

Margaret’s car is not for sale, but that didn’t stop some random passerby from asking about it moments before we started to record, setting a weird mood for the episode. Within we discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, Morning Glory and Artist of the Month Kevin Kline’s In & Out and Dave. Add in commentary on a bunch of trailers (Green Lantern, Green Hornet, Red... 

Taking us behind the scenes of all of those early morning shows is Morning Glory, and while this could be a film about how the horrific and fluff stories a journalist comes into contact with can change their life, this isn’t that movie. Morning Glory follows a desperate and jobless character played by Rachel McAdams, who takes the first position that is offered to her, working at a morning show that... 

Alright, all of you folks who have been complaining about a lack of originality from James Cameron’s blockbuster, Avatar, pay attention. The world’s most famous consulting detective is here in a new incarnation that is unlike anything we’ve seen before.

It’s an episode so long we couldn’t possibly cram it into our traditional hourlong format (a technical malfunction with the timer notwithstanding). Inside you’ll hear reviews of Sherlock Holmes, Up in the Air, and Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside, as well as the finish of James Cameron month with Strange Days and True Lies. We also offer some long-overdue opinions... 

Each year we get a flood of romantic comedies that try and look at the humorous side of relationships and make us laugh until we tear up in delight as the central couple come together. But romance isn’t always funny, nor does it always wind up happily ever after. While The Time Traveler’s Wife may take things a bit extreme with its story, the movie does offer a romance that is full of wonder but... 

Apologies to our normal live audience crew, who didn’t get to hear the whole episode live, but here it is in its entirety. Margaret sits this week out traveling while Rafe, Tim, and Jeff discuss District 9, The Time Traveler’s Wife, and Norah Ephron’s Mixed Nuts. We give you Avatar Day information, talk about our disappointment with a new Battlestar Galactica movie despite Bryan Singer’s...
