Sat, 6 February 2010  Brooks kicks off our centennial celebration by talking about whose hot in Hollywood and whose not. It started out innocently enough, discussing the questionable attractiveness of Roxxxy the talking sex robot, then it just got out of hand. Greg, Lynn and Andrew are here too, and even Christopher from the Tupacast. We manage to segue into discussing Legion, Pandorum and Avatar, so we do manage to get it on the rails eventually. And this is just part 1 of our centennial celebration. Comments[0] |
Sat, 23 January 2010  Sean and Johnny return to talk about what makes a great villain. Who was the greater villain, Frankenstein or his monster? Is Dexter Morgan a hero or a villain?

Have we just lost the ability to create great heroes and villains?Comments[0] |
Sat, 16 January 2010  Sean and Johnny talk about the state of heroes and villains in movies today, weighing the positive message of Avatar against the disturbing trends in modern thinking that are embracing remakes of Last House on the Left and I Spit on Your Grave.
Indiana Jones and John McClane are helping regular guys discover their inner Batman while bad guys like Freddy and Jason give us a taste of pure evil. So what happens when the line gets blurred? Have we lost our knack for myth building? Will the characters of Avatar endure as long as Sherlock Holmes? Or have we lost the ability to create something new that will stand the test of time?
This blurb makes us sound a lot more profound than we really. We're pretty much just talking about movies.Comments[0] |
