This week on The Flickcast Chris and Matt inch ever closer to the magical 100th episode of the show. It’s getting closer every day but until then, they still had this episode to do and do it they did.

This week’s topics include lots of new trailers including Green Lantern and The Muppets, the state of 3D movies at the Box Office, the technical glitches of some movie theater chains on the East Coast, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Torchwood: Children of Earth and much more. Sadly, they also talked about Charlie Sheen, Ashton Kutcher and Two and a Half Men . . . but only for a minute.

Of course, the boys made some picks this week including Matt’s pick of John Carpenter’s They Live and Chris’ pick of the book Bossypants by SNL and 30 Rock writer and star Tina Fey.

As you might have guessed, we’re big fans of the BBC show Torchwood here at The Flickcast. And now that the new, albiet very short, season is almost here, we’re pretty excited about the further adventures of Ianto, Gwen and Captain Jack. Last time, we had two minutes of footage from the first episode to show you.

Now, we’ve got an even longer clip to bring you. In fact, its the first seven minutes of the first episode, which is pretty darn cool. Torchwood will also be at Comic-Con in San Diego with a screening of the final episode on Saturday, July 25 at 7:30pm and a panel session on Sunday, July 26 at 2:15pm.

Creator Russell T. Davies, executive producer Julie Gardner and director Euros Lynn will be on hand as well and we’re hoping to snag some interviews. Meantime, Torchwood: Children of Earth premieres five nights straight starting on Monday, July 20 at 9E/P on BBC America. Until then, be sure to check out the first seven minutes of the show after the break.
