Tribute to boobs in movies!  Or is it?  Sean and Brooks take a long hard look at the disturbing decline of naked shower scenes and real sex scenes in movies.  Is this a more enlightened temperament in modern film, or a backhanded effort to sell sex to kids by keeping the nudity out of it?  And is the mainstream's sudden shyness leaving the door open for pornography to become a part of our everyday lives?  Just look at Traci Lords!  If you still can...

This is not a show about disaster movies or real-life disasters, folks.  This episode was a real-life disaster, plagued with production problems, technical errors and equipment failures.  But somewhere along the line we managed to talk about the mystery of twins like Jason and Jeremy London, the Barbarian Brothers, & Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito.  Also, why do dragon movies always suck?  Is the robot invasion already happening and how will life-size silicone sex dolls help make it happen?  We soldier through it all to bring you the truth, world...

How do you survive Star Trek?  Is it just a matter of avoiding techno-tortures like the holodeck or is it about something more?  Is it about knowing how to be like Kirk and overthrowing civilisations for the greater good with kidney punches and scissor kicks?  Listen and find out!

Between Batman's big money and Dr. Horrible's dynamic debut online, it's a good summer for superheroes and supervillains.  Even Hellboy got a little something for his trouble.  The boys talk about what makes Heath Ledger's Joker the world's first scary comic book movie bad guy and discuss where the Dark Knight should go next.  Who will be the next big bad?  Catwoman?  The Riddler?  And what does the future have in store for Joss Whedon's latest creation?  And what trends is this setting for future superhero projects like Watchmen?  Listen and find out!

The boys address issues brought up in their mail.  Lynn from Australia has some additional life lessons you can learn from horror movies, plus some talk about Hancock, Death Proof, and the steady decline of American television.

All things Nathan Fillion, as only TV Ate My Dinner can bring it!  The boys express their love for the star of Firefly and Slither so deeply here that they're forced to take a long hard look at themselves in the process.  Also, quite a lot of talk about the Fall Guy.  It makes more sense in context, people...

This episode's a crap shoot, but you should be used to that.  Lacking a central topic, the boys BS about Dollhouse, the upcoming Joss Whedon project starring Eliza Dushku, some belated praise for the Iron Man movie with speculation about where the Avengers movie could be going.  Plus a hard look at what's going wrong with the new Justice League movie.  We also bring you a new Movie From the Vault (House 2 tackled Crystal Skulls way before Indiana Jones) and the latest Johnny Drama (all hail the reigning Re-Animator, Jeffrey Combs!)  All this and the long-awaited follow-up on whether the junxploitation poster project "Teeth" is worth the trip.  Should be something for everybody in this one.

James Bond, Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer... The boys look at the best of the JB's and offer their survival tips to anyone looking at joining the spy game (on either side).  Do's and don'ts we picked up watching 24's CTU and Her Majesty's Secret Service, and some basic budget suggestions for gadget designers and supervillains who are probably just overthinking their jobs.  Plus a little zombie talk about George Romero's Diary of the Dead and the Day of the Dead remake.

Is Indiana Jones back, or are George Lucas and Steven Spielberg just dressing Harrison Ford up to try and re-capture their glory days?  We seem to have made up our minds on this one, but you give this episode a listen and decide for yourself.

Highlander 2?  House 2, the Second Story?  Any horror sequel ever made?  Which ones do you think should have never seen the screen?  Should there have been Back to the Future Sequels?  Or a Matrix trilogy?  If Aliens broke the mold, shouldn't they have stopped there?  And what about Star Wars and Indiana Jones?  Is it cinematic blasphemy to re-visit the only perfect movies ever made?  These are the things we think about, world.  We ask the tough questions.
