The Top 10 Things I Hate About 2 Guns
First: 2 Guns really is a spectacularly awful title. We are talking hall-of-fame levels of stupidity with a name like that. What does it even mean? A promise that, at minimum, the film has one pair of firearms to entice audiences? That when we see a gun in the movie, we can rest assured it will never feel lonely, because another gun will be in close proximity? Is it a high-concept sort of thing, wherein the main characters only have access to two guns to take down an entire criminal operation? Is it a wacky arthouse piece in which two firearms become sentient and search for the true meaning of life, the universe, and everything? Or is it merely another lame, slapdash marketing phrase flailing desperately to make this insipid buddy-cop action comedy stand out from the interminably large crowd of other insipid buddy-cop action comedies, and really only indicating that the two protagonists will each not only carry a weapon, but be defined by their proficiency with violence?

WGTC Radio #58 – Catching Up On Comic Con, Batman Vs Superman, Steam Sale, & More
In this special bonus mid-week episode, we catch up on all the news, announcements, and happenings since I have been away on vacation. That means that we get to talk about awesome new movies like Pacific Rim and The Wolverine, the Steam Summer Sale, news about the Xbox One and Indie gaming, and of course, Comic-Con. There was far too much at Comic-Con (as always) to cover in one podcast, so we focused on what was directly relevant to this podcast – which, of course, includes Warner’s big, strange reveal of their Batman Vs Superman film for 2015.

The Wolverine Review
In The Wolverine, James Mangold and Hugh Jackman have not only delivered the definitive take on one of modern pop culture’s most enduring protagonists, but proved that there is life left indeed in the X-Men on film, life that should be sustainable for years (and sequels) to come.

WGTC Radio #57 – Our Top 10 Favorite Video Games Of All Time (Part 3 of 3)
This week, we conclude our special, long-awaited, three-part countdown of our Top 10 Favorite Video Games of All Time. As explained previously, I am out of town for a little while, so we recorded this three-part installment in advance, similar to how we presented countdowns of our favorite movies (part 1 and part 2) and favorite TV shows (part 1 and part 2). As with the other lists in this vein, Sean and I each made our own lists, and go back and forth presenting, discussing, and analyzing our choices. We have put a little more production into this countdown, with musical introductions for each title, but otherwise, you know the drill: We love video games, we love talking about video games, and we had an awful lot of fun talking about the video games we love the most.

The Top 10 Films Of 2013 So Far
By and large, 2013 has been a middling year for cinema. The first four months of the year offered exceptionally little in the way of truly interesting or compelling commercially-released content, instead delivering a long string of uninspired, unengaging material that, while rarely awful, only occasionally piqued my interest. I found myself skipping a lot more films than I normally would, in part because I was busy working on other projects, and in part because what Hollywood had to offer seemed almost aggressively dull.

Pacific Rim Review
Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim is as clear and celebratory an expression of what film at its most creative, earnest, and exuberant can achieve as any in recent memory, and one of the very best films of 2013.
