When last we left Nucke Thomson and HBO’s Boardwalk Empire things seemed to be going pretty well for him. He had the girl and business was going the way he wanted it to go. Well, sorta.

The new season of the show debuts this Sunday and to get you ready we’ve got a whole slew of videos to bring to you. Among them are some previews of the new season, a clip from the premiere and several character profiles.

Boardwalk Empire has seen tremendous success on HBO and was given a second season after only airing one episode of its first. The show has built up quite a following and features a teriffic cast of characters.

Can’t wait to see what they do next. Fortunately, don’t have to wait too long.

Season two of Boardwalk Empire debuts Sunday night at 9/8C on HBO.

This week’s pick is the 1983 Cold War classic War Games directed by John Badham and starring Matthew Broderick (David Lightman), Dabney Coleman (Dr. John McKittrick), John Wood (Dr. Stephen Falken), Ally Sheedy (Jennifer Mack), and Barry Corbin (General Beringer).

War Games is the ultimate Cold War thriller that questions whether or not there truly is a winner in a nuclear war. Matthew Broderick stars a David Ligthman, a highschooler with a fondness for computers and getting himself way in over his head. Lightman uses his computer hacking skills to mostly hack into his school’s computer in order to alter his grades, a dream every kid with a computer would hope to do.

With the hype machine in full swing over the last few months promoting all of the new TV shows hitting the small screen this month, it’s nice to actually see a show that lives up to the hype. HBO’s Boardwalk Empire is such a show.

Debuting to record ratings and already renewed for a second season after one episode, Boardwalk Empire is that rare combination of elements that ends up being well worth the time it takes to watch. We’ve talked about the show before here at the site and today we’ve got some videos to get you ready for Sunday’s all-new episode.

In these videos you get a good preview of Sunday’s episode showing more of the action and intrigue as well as an extended scene of Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg) telling a story about how he has no trouble causing the death of people just for fun. Not a nice guy to be sure.

Check out the preview after the jump. Boardwalk Empire, which features Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt,  Kelly Macdonald and Dabney Coleman, airs Sunday at 9/8C on HBO.
