Episode 338 – Wookiee Mouse

Posted on October 10, 2013

This Week: Kristin and Kevin continue with the Halloween banter and actually get a chance to talk about a horror movie again for October. But first, they take a look at the big movies Captain Phillips and Machete Kills. They also revisit All the Boys Love Mandy Lane from a press screening in 2007. There’s also a drive-by on the new Romeo and Juliet film, and Kevin expresses his desires for the movie to have more robots and monsters in it (along with his desire for Captain Phillips to be about Popeye). They also chew through some movie news (with a nod to a Star Wars story) and some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations.

They also manage to talk about all the new movies this week, lay down a Fat Guy Five about great vampire hunters and suggest some awesome (and not-so-awesome) DVDs and Blu-rays.
