Chris and Jimmy dive into a world of robot avatars this week with their review of Surrogates. Jimmy is mostly positive about the marketing behind the film, saying that he’d go into a theater to see it after being roped in by the trailer. Chris joins in the mockery that echoes from the /Filmcast about the appearance of Bruce Willis’s “surrogate”, but he backs off a little and says that the movie is definitely a “90 minute rental”. With a movie like Terminator 3 as the pedigree for Surrogates’s director, Jonathan Mostow, it’s not surprising that the general feeling for this film is so middling.
The DVD picks for this week follow the theme of “favorite artificial intelligence movie”, so it’s unsurprising that one of the choices is 2001: A Space Odyssey. With Jimmy picking the almost obligatory film, Chris is left to choose a more obscure pick, War Games.
This week, Chris and Jimmy let their Surrogates loose on the podcasting world to review Bruce Willis’ blonde wisp, Los Angeles mannequin girls, and milk-drinking cows.
