This is THE man people refer to when they say, "He the man!"
Apologies in advance or the sound quality on this week”s show. The fancy expensive mic that I bought WAS plugged in and functioning correctly however SOMEONE (I wonder who) forgot too switch audacity over from internal to external mic.
The quality of the content however is be as high (low?) as ever with reviews of Now You See Me, The Hangover Pt 3, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and The Great Gatsby this week, along with all the latest movie news.
Here’s the show notes:
- Trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut Don Jon
- Transcript and audio of Michael Douglas’ chat with the Guardian over he causes of his throat cancer
- First set pics of The Winter Soldier from Captain America 2
- Video of Samuel L. Jackson reading the winning monologue from reddit submissions in return for charitable donations to the Alzheimer’s Association.
- TOY…OF…THE….WEEEK!: The quite simply AMAZING (and amazingly expensive) Hot Toys Robocop and ED-209 figures
