Seriously,  hot sammiches is the cause of 90% of accidents in the home, can scar you for life AND  leads to frivolous lawsuits, as we find out in this weeks cast  which, has a lot of news and revews to cover seeing as we have been away for a while.

No podcast today (Sunday) folks, Gavin had some “stuff to do” and I lay by the pool at day (don’t hate me).
We should bring you another cast by Tuesday however, so don’t change that dial.

That’s right, no podcast at the weekend due to traffic problems* but we couldn’t let a week go by without a sitting together to waffle on about movies so we’re proud to present a special mid-week episode of the McYapandFries movie podcast.

This week we’ve got a double whammy of reviews with creature feature “Attack the Block” (in cinemas now) and the film that inspired it’s title; South Korea’s “Attack the Gas Station”, followed up with a review of the tale of a psychotic, psychic, tyre called Robert in “Rubber”.

We’ve also got  a raft of trailers to review (see links below), lots of news on Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit”, and all sorts of gossip on casting news.

We also chatted about a whole heap of trailers (links below if you want to “watch along” with Mc and Yap) news of the latest Thor sequel and who, reportedly, won’t be returning to Asgard, Robert Rodriguez’s interesting split personality, Aromascope, Chocolate bar movies, Vince Vaughan, and conceptual Transformers.
