Putting the band back together….again
by Mc on Jun.28, 2011, under Podcasts
Yes, we’re back after quite a break, again and no neither of us was in jail . At this point I think that we have more “welcome back” podcasts than regularly scheduled shows.
We’ve selected only the choicest cuts from all the news for discussion in the podcast this week, including: the gritty reboot no one expected (or wanted); news on Tarantino’s next project (and who has already bailed on it, allegedly) and more casting news on Superman’s Dad with some rampant speculation on his accent and hairstyle .
As it’s been over a month since ewe’ve had a chance to cast, we also catch up on all the movies that we’ve missed with reviews of  “X-Men: First Class”, “The Hangover Part 2”, “Blitz”, “Green Lantern” (and a little bit on “Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides”).
As usual you can find all the trailers and pics mentioned in this week’s show below for your perusal.
Until next time, enjoy!
Show Notes:
- Latest “Captain America” Trailer: Heroes are made where?
- First pics of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins in “The Hobbit”
- The Adventures of Tin Tin trailer
- First look at Hawkeye and The Hulk alongside Captain America, Thor and Iron Man in the new “Avengers” Promo Latest Poster
- Latest “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” trailer featuring JOHN LITHGOW!!
