This week on The Flickcast Chris and Matt are recovering from Comic-Con in San Diego but are still managing to do a show this week. Some of the topics they cover this time around include thoughts on several NBC pilots like Outsourced, The Event, Undercovers and Chase. Also, the boys discuss the new Sucker Punch trailer and director Zack Snyder, potential X-Men First Class casting and a bit more about the fun and some issues with Comic-Con.

They also made some picks this week including Matt’s pick of Blazing Saddles on Blu-ray and Chris’ pick of the Stanley Kubrick film Full Metal Jacket.
