WGTC Radio #45 – Iron Man 3 Review & Discussion
As promised, we have recorded one of our trademark in-depth, spoiler-filled, nearly-as-long-as-the-movie-itself reviews and discussions of the summer’s first major blockbuster, Shane Black’s Iron Man 3. I offered my analysis on the film yesterday in this piece, but our podcast discussion goes deeper into details both big and small, and features several debates between Sean and I on some of the big narrative and character points. Just be sure not to listen unless you have seen the movie, because we obviously spoil the hell out of it.

WGTC Radio #44 – Summer Movies Preview & Doctor Who
The calm before the storm continues, as we are one week out from Iron Man 3 and the beginning of the summer movie season. So before we start covering these films in depth, we thought it might be fun to preview them, going back and forth with different titles we find compelling hitting theatres over the next few months, from Man of Steel to Pacific Rim to The World’s End to the horribly titled Star Trek Into Darkness. There is a lot to be excited for this summer, and these are the movies we are most strongly anticipating.

Pain & Gain Review
Before watching Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain, I highly suggest reading the 3-part Miami New Times article on which it is based (conveniently compiled at this link). Such prior knowledge is in no way required to enjoy Bay’s film adaptation, but having read the original, factual account, I found myself constantly fascinated by the choices Bay and company made bringing the story to the screen

WGTC Radio #43 – Star Wars News, Movie Trailers, & Halo 4 Multiplayer
The calm before the upcoming storm that is the summer movie season is still in effect, making for another podcast episode where we talk about many different subjects, which is always one of our favorite ways to record. Sean continues to relate his experiences playing through the Uncharted series, we review and recap three of the biggest movie trailers from the past week – including the absolutely phenomenal trailer for Man of Steel – and we go over the inexplicable announcement that Disney will produce and release a new Star Wars film every single summer from 2015 to 2020.

The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Will Bring Back David Tennant’s TARDIS
The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special is well into production now and, as expected, showrunner Steven Moffat is being very tight-lipped about what fans should expect. That being said, there has been much speculation about the plot and which Doctors and villains will be showing up. So far, we know that the Zygons will be included and that David Tennant's 10th Doctor and his seminal companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) will make an appearance as well.

Oblivion Review
Oblivion is not revelatory science-fiction, but that does not stop it from being top-notch science fiction. Originality matters little when the experience is this rich and rewarding.

WGTC Radio #42 – Evil Dead Review & Discussion
We kick off this week’s episode with a few random topics – Sean talks about playing the Uncharted trilogy for the first time, we go over the rumors that the Xbox 720 may be an ‘always online’ console (and the surrounding controversy therein), and even rant about iTunes for a few minutes – but the main meat of the episode is our in-depth, spoiler-filled review and discussion of Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead remake, which gives us license to talk gore, gore, and more gore. And don’t worry – neither of us invoke the phrase “a bloody good time.” Because that would be stupid (albeit accurate).

42 Review
I would love nothing more than a truly great Jackie Robinson biopic, one that uses the cinematic medium to capture and evoke the spirit of baseball’s greatest hero, but Brian Helgeland’s 42, I am sad to report, is not that film. It has its heart in the right place, features some excellent casting, and delivers several terrific individual moments, but on the whole, 42 exists within the safe, stuffy realm of pandering convention, and is crippled by a lack of focus or meaningful vision.
