  1. On a personal level, Wolverine is more offensive in that it takes potential and flushes it away. Catwoman, it's barely a film you have to think about in context of a wider universe, you could happily ignore it. It's a tough one. It's Wolverine. Even though unlike Catwoman there's stuff to recommend about it (Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, might be something to that) it's like the X-men Franchises Highlander 2 or even Star Trek Nemesis, a film that was made by people who never saw the previous ones and decided to throw in a whole bunch of other shit to put their stamp on it irrespective of how it fit in the wider universe. And the effects were fucking awful. I mean, I expected the effects in Catwoman to be bad but how can a film look so much worse than other films in the same franchise made much earlier? edit- to clarify, I mean Wolverine is worse ie Catwoman gets the nod.
  2. Drop- an audio addition. Basically a sound or jingle.
  3. Real rollercoaster episode from the high of referencing Histor's Eye to the low of being dissed in drop form. I mean, you guys know that music is the only way to really hurt me. I will have my revenge, oh yes.
  4. Konnan. I say it how it's spelt. And I'm not the only one, ive heard announcers say the same. I can't say why I took against this week's song so hard other than it being a very dull song to dominate any music chart.
  5. It's....weird. I assume you were yelling "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"
  6. Shadowhunters The mix of light Buffy-esque theme, deliberate sexual tension across the cast, plastic-perfect hair & makeup with a bright ABC family style makes this entire show scream Porn Parody.
  7. Just noticed that gender is one of the things listed on every post you make. Anyone else feel a little weird about that? Like, on a msg board is that vital information you need for context next to a comment. Weird move by Invision.
  8. Super restrictive nerdy but I pretty much love 90% of the opening titles for Bleach. https://youtu.be/-TFpxXN8n34?list=PLkmI-08HRKr70_6Yl_S86ll1_M-qRwPKQ
  9. God damn I love this. Bought the soundtrack after seeing it for the first time last year just because it's so damn smooth.
  10. You could always right a wrong from the Cage episode and watch Adaptation. She's not the central character but she's second billed and gets plenty of screen time. Or you could catch that missing Hoffman film with Kramer vs Kramer. Man, it's a real Sophies Choice.
  11. And we now go live to Ian Wilson for an update on the release of the Spectre episode- "Do not my friends become addicted to podcasts! They will take hold of you, and you will regret their absence."
  12. Are tribbles rodents?
  13. I assume you're reviewing Groundhog Day, Groundhog Day and Groundhog Day.
  14. Good catch, I knew I was referencing something, and that may well be it. I knew someone had done that idea of henchmen so disposable they were basically, to butcher a tagline 'all that meets the eye'.
  15. I'd argue that since Ian already did his popcorn fare it'd be cool to explore the other side. Mostly I just want to see how Pandy and Kel respond to The Fountain with their parenting brains.
  16. Holy hell, just seen these. It'll be worth buying Mad Max again just for the disc cover that says "nominated for ten Oscars". As for Tarantino, I'm not sure he's a horrible guy, but he definitely doesn't feel protective of his characters, he's unsentimental about them. People demand a really high standard from him and want him to edit down but I'm content to let his work sprawl. It's how he gets to his most interesting places. He has a style and that's fine with me. Hateful 8 was like a Tales from Django stageplay, didn't blow me away but I enjoyed it. Suddenly really really want to see Room not just because Brie Larsen is amazing in general but the premise sounds really intense.
  17. Ditto that, the Prestige remains probably my personal favourite Nolan film. Although I suspect it'll come up in the Jacked Man month. Oh you guys should do Hugh Jacked Man. I demand the Prestige, The Fountain and just for larks, Real Steel. Added bonus- he is currently alive.
  18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRAojvpA9A0 To be honest from that description I probably only remember about half of this. I suspect Ian gone beyond the ken of rational science and cobbled together an audio Frankenstein from our incredibly fractured recording sessions and other assorted podcast leftovers and somehow created a malformed monster of a show. Ian may be a genius, but the question remains over whether he will ever use his powers for good. Enjoy!
  19. Woah. The waiting game pays off! Great news dude, and long overdue.
  20. Well I am here again next week. I could use an advocate to prevent the locals burning me to bring back the sun.
