Logan Marshall Green and Tom Hardy... or vice versa?

After our little break we’re back with a review of Pixar’s Brave, a quick chat about Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and Gavin shares his thoughts on John Carter now that he’s finally gotten around to seeing it. Oh and he shares his feeling on Mirror, Mirror but that doesn’t take very long at all.

The break also gave us some time to build up a backlog of news and trailers to discuss including trailers for Dredd, starring Karl Urban as the old Stone Face himself; Monsters University, the prequel to Monsters Inc,; “Liam Neeson Beats up Istanbul” (aka Taken 2) the sequel to “Liam Neeson beats up France” (aka Taken) and we have a heap of quite frankly bizarre emails to go through this week featuring Terry Crews and Australians!!

Thanks to @rue_ay_ee on twitter for the pic of Logan Marshall Green and Tom Hardy, or is it Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall Green?

David AFTER he's heard the Prometheus spoilercast

With our abiding love of Sir Ridley Scott’s work, the fantastic Alien universe he created, the sinister machinations of the Weylan (later -Yutani) company as well as our feelings on the actual film, we couldn’t just leave it at a spoiler free review of Prometheus in the main show, and so McYapandFries present our Prometheus Spoiler-cast where we hold nothing back in discussing the films plot points, ending,  sucesses (and failures) and where the franchise could possibly go from here.

CONTAINS SPOILERS! Seriously it’s in the headline and everything, don’t listen if you haven’t seen Prometheus!!

David Hears that "Prometheus" is getting the McYapandFries treatment

After all the anticipation, we finally get to see the product of visionary director Ridley Scott’s return to Sci-fi on this week’s podcast, as Gavin and I review Prometheus. No need to worry about spoilers, as usual we steer well clear of those, however we will be discussing the plot in obsessive detail in a separate, spoiler-infected, Promethe-cast which should be available soon.

Also this in this week’s show I also review Malaysian movie Nasi Lemak 2.0, we talk about new trailers for the latest from Quentin Tarantino, Denzel Washington and um…Disney Animation along with a few cool posters, and the usual distractions such as Gavin’s feelings on Jake GyllenHATE.

Show Notes

• Trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest, Django Unchained
• Bill Murray’s cool Video Autograph
• Trailer for Flight starring Denzel Wasahington and directed by Robert Zemekis

• Cool Dark Knight Rises poster featuring catwoman, (or at least some of her)

It’s not often that we’re wrong here at McYapandFries, and it’s even less often that we apologise for anything, but we are idiots on a regular basis, which is a roundabout way of saying that on last week’s cast we totally forgot to review the Malaysian Games and Comics Convention, which a certain Mr Gavin Yap presided over as head minion, a week prior.

This week’s show kicks off with our attempt at rectifying this grievous error, before we then proceed to make a whole bunch of new ones reviewing Snow White and the Hunstman; starring Kirsten Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth, reviewing super-powered “found footage” flick Chronicle, and while discussing the merits of a possible Pauly Shore comeback, Spaced (AGAIN!), Cannes, and venerable old 2000AD.

We hope you like the show

As usual here’s the show notes those of you reading along at home:

• Malaysian Games and Comics Convention
• The Red Carpet for Maniac at Cannes (the French guy’s freakout starts about 6 minutes in)
• Gavin’s Toy of the week 
• Bonus Toy of the week (Again!)
• Iain’s Tee of the week
• Trailer for “The Miserables”
• Iron man set pics (CAUTION SPOILERS!)

Loki is not best pleased with this lack of podcast

As you may has noticed there hasn’t been a podcast since last week’s Avengers cast.

This is because a) we’re still reeling from that cinematic onslaught & b) Gavin’s been busy “shaping and directing” this year’s The Platform production The Emperor at the KL Performing Arts Centre. Full details here but if you wanna catch it you’ll have to hurry, shows finish 12^th May!

Once again we’ll try and get back to a regular status once Gavin stops being so damn popular, or my dastardly plans come to fruition. What plans? That would be telling…

Yes…it’s finally here

The road that began years or decades ago when you first heard of or read your first Avengers comic, or that began for us in Summer 2010 when we first saw Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assembled on stage at San Diego Comic Con, ends this week with the release of Marvel’s The Avengers in cinemas across the world (everywhere that is except America this week for some reason).

As you can guess Gavin and I “go deep” on our review in this week’s cast but for the cautious we do avoid spoilers until the 45th minute of the cast, and we very clearly state this, so you can’t blame anyone but yourself if you hear too much.

This weeks’s show also has a very quick, non-spoilery review of The Cabin in the Woods and some of the usual news for which the show notes are below, Enjoy!

• Fresh off the internet presses, it’s the third and final Dark Knight Rises trailer
• The third trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (might be best to miss if you wnat to avoid spoilers)
• First pictures emerge of Anthony Hopkins As Alfred Hitchcock
  Trailer for Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3 : Dog Days the only movie to melt Gavin’s cold stone heart
• Here the trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s Male stipper flick Magic Mike Starrign Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey!
• Trailer for promising prohibition crime drama Lawless

Derek had the distinct feeling the interior decorator was taking the piss with his latest "creation"

Due to scheduling conflicts I’m afraid that there’s no podcast this week, but we’ll make up for it next week which should be our MIGHTY AVENGERS-CAST!  (knowing us it should  be about 6 hours long!)

It’s proably a good thing as my review was going to be The Cabin in the Woods, one of the most difficult films  to review without spoiling it, EVER.  All I can say about it is, if you enjoyed and laughed at Scream , The Evil Dead films, Freddy, and Jason,  etc.  you’ll definitely get a kick out of it and should go see it now!

Seriously go see it and support smart, funny cinema!

Until next week…EXCELSIOR!!

Nope, we've not even made ONE of these doing this bloody show

Yes, not only have we managed to do another podcast only the week after the last one, but  this week’s show also marks the 100 episode (I’m not evevn kidding!).

With our usual panache, style and attention to  preparation we’ve done absolutely nothing special for this week’s podcast to celebrate and instead we get on with the very important work of chatting about movies, insulting our audience (and Forest Whitaker) and reviewing John Carter of Mars, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and of course (!!?) A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas.

As usual here’s the show notes for anything we referenced on the show in case you want to take a look with us:

• Trailer for Rian Johnson’s “Looper ” starring Brice wilis and Jospeh Gordon Levitte
• Cool Poster for Tarantino’s “Django Unchained”
• Mondo Tees the site where Gavin can’t get a poster, no matter how hard he tries!
• WRIGHT!: Edgar Wright’s  Intereactive web  comic series thingy Brandon Generator
• PEGG! Trailer for Sion Pegg starring A Fantastic Fear of Everything
• Link from a lister: The 10 worst possible movies to convert to 3d from @rue_ay_ee on Twitter

Lets see if we can manage another 100!! or maybe … 8!

As you can tell from the headline, ripped from the podcast itself, absolutely nothing has changed during our little break from podcasting. We have returned as immature and vulgar as ever.

Thor and Agent Coulson eagerly await the mcyapandfries podcast to finish downloading, on dial-up

As we’ve been away quite a while, on this week’s show we discuss only the very best and most interesting  of the movie news that happened during the break, or at least the most interesting  news that we can stilll remember after a month or two.

We’re also playing catch up on the review front, with The Hunger Games, Underworld Awakening, The Descandants, Abduction (!?) and Midnight in Paris all getting reviewed in one form or another on the show.

As usual, I’ll leave you with the show notes so you can share in the trailers and pics we discussed, as well as with the promise that we should now be back on a regular schedule, providing you with more podcast goodness, more often.

Until next time:

• That amazing Prometheus trailer
• The slightly different Imax Prometheus trailer
• Sean Bean in Drag!!?
• The trailer for Ted from Seth McFarlane
• The first Trailer for the Colin Farrell remake of Total Recall
