The news of David Ellis leaving 1UP and 4 Guys 1UP for 343 Industries starts the cast and we touch on what the future may hold for the next flagship 1UP podcast. In games, we touch on the PS3 leap year issue and Activision/Infinity Ward. [...]
Filmspotting dives in the rabbit hole this week with their review of Alice in Wonderland. Adam starts things off by putting his total lack of Alice experience on the table, never having consumed the film before in either it’s previous written or cinematic outlets. Unburdened by expectations, he does say that many of the elements [...]
/Filmcast Ep. 89 – The Crazies
March 5th, 2010
As per usual, Dave starts off the show with movies he’s been watching, beginning with a film called Triangle. He makes the argument that it has a lot of plot holes but ultimately pays off in many ways, practically “demanding” a second viewing. Adam got a chance to watch Cop Out, deeming it almost unworthy [...]
The Totally Rad Show – Episode 154: Ah-Mazing
March 2nd, 2010
Cop Out is the first feature Kevin Smith has directed which he didn’t also write, perhaps that’s a bad thing as the TRS guys didn’t like it very much. For a comedy they didn’t laugh too often, they do enjoy the idea of a throwback to the 80s buddy cop movies, so much so in [...]
Filmspotting #293: Shutter Island / Trouble in Paradise / Top 5 Performances That Should’ve Won Oscars
March 2nd, 2010
This week’s review of Shutter Island is a little mixed, but it seems like Adam and Matty ultimately end up recommending the film and pointing out a handful of really strong components to Scorsese’s latest. Right off the bat, both of the guys praise almost all of the performances in the film, with Matty declaring [...]

March 1st, 2010
The Engadget Show and the latest 4 Guys 1UP kick of the podcast discussion this week, but Three Red Lights reverting back to their original, explicit ways is particularly exciting. The recent Nintendo Games Summit proved to be the biggest game news of the week, but that really isn’t such a good thing. Metroid: Other [...]
The Geekbox: Episode 54
February 24th, 2010
With the UGO redesign over and his vacation complete, Mike Cruz finally returns to the Geekbox to talk about… Old Spice commercials and green screening. Fortunately, Burn Notice talk comes up next and Fitch deals some dirt on a potential steamy relationship with Michael Westen and a relatively new character.
Ryan Scott has been playing P.B. [...]
/Filmcast Ep. 88 – Shutter Island
February 24th, 2010
The /Filmcast crew has been dipping into the back catalog this week, with Dave kicking things off with his positive impressions of Cube. As a slightly dated sci-fi movie, it’s been years since most of the guys have watched Vincenzo Natali’s cult favorite, but they all have good things to say about both the execution [...]
The Totally Rad Show – Episode 153: 5/12/86
February 23rd, 2010
This weeks tubular episode of The Totally Rad Show kicks off with a review of the newly released flick Short Circuit. As huge Steven Guttenberg fans both Alex and Jeff loved it. There’s some debate about whether Fisher Stevens’ gnarly indian character could be considered offensive. Dan “Space 1999’s” the guys by admitting he was [...]
CastMedium Podcast 025 – 02.22.10
February 22nd, 2010
Episode 25 means no Erik (yes, again), a 4 man show and me using my MacBook Pro’s internal mic for the first 10 minutes (yes, also again). Our impressions of the EGM digital edition peek start the show and it is pretty. We also hit on DICE and last week’s 4 Guys 1UP from the [...]

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom stirs a bit of debate, considering Eric believes the film doesn’t get the attention and respect it deserves. He makes the argument [...]
