This Week: Kevin traumatizes Kristin with his heroic victory dance again and demands new equipment for the Magical Studio in the Sky. He then twists the knife by yammering on more about Star Trek and J.J. Abrams. Finally, they move on to the movies, but Kristin can’t catch a break because she had to suffer through both Fast & Furious 6 and The Hangover: Part III. Sigh… if only they had screened Epic. After reviewing some films, Kevin and Kristin answer a listener email and then talk about the large but mediocre selection of DVDs this week.

This Week: Kevin and Kristin rattle through a whole bunch of movie news, including confirmed actors in the new Star Wars movie, the potential involvement of Christopher Nolan in The Justice League and James Bond, plus a listener question about The Guardians of the Galaxy. This leaves scant time for movie reviews, which is a good thing since neither had a chance to see Dead Man Down or Emperor. Though they do have a chance to thoroughly discuss Oz the Great and Powerful and how guys still try to get laid in magical lands. Finally, they tear through some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before riding off into the sunset.

Warner Bros. has just released this sizzle reel for the Blu-ray combo disc release of The Dark Knight Rises, due out on December 4. Check it out below.
This Week: Kevin is upset about many things in this world, and he wants to change them. He comes to the conclusion that the only way to do this is through the dance and protest art. Unfortunately, Kevin can’t dance worth a damn. So he invites Gleekast co-host Emily Intravia into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about dance and protest art with the new dance flick Step Up Revolution. They also talk about alien invasions and movies about writers with The Watch and Ruby Sparks. They also talk some more about The Dark Knight Rises, Taylor Kitsch’s flailing career and some DVD recommendations. When it comes to the reviews, they really step up. (You see what I did there?)
