We’re back once again with an all-new episode of The Flickcast. Four weeks in a row! This close to Christmas! The record is building once again.

On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss a bunch of new and recurring topics. Some of these include names of the new Star Wars characters, much more on the Arrow, Flash and Agents of SHIELD winter finales, a bit on the Sony hack and a whole lot more, more, more.

We should also mention we were scheduled to have an interview in this week’s episode, but due to circumstances, that wasn’t possible. So, this episode might be a bit shorter than usual. Sorry.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the novel Half a King by Joe Abercrombie and Joe’s pick of the Blu-ray version of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes that’s just come out.

After a week off for the 4th of July holiday, we’re back with a brand new episode of The Flickcast. And you thought we’d forgotten about you. Not likely.

On this week’s show Chris and Joe talk about a lot of different things, as usual. Some of these “things” include the recent Emmy nominations and the worst snubs, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the latest on Doctor Who, more on Guardians of the Galaxy and a bunch of other stuff.

Chris and Joe even make a bet on the opening weekend box office for Guardians. What did they think? Well, you’ll just have to listen to find out. Saw that coming, didn’t you?

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of director John Hillcoat’s Lawless and Joe’s pick of the wonderful, and sadly soon to be extinct, 35mm film.

The apes are back and there’s gonna be trouble … Yes, we like songs. We also like movies where apes run amuck and kick a lot of ass. Fortunately, we won’t be disappointed with the upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It’s got all that, and more.

In this sequel to 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Cloverfield director Matt Reeves brings us the beginnings of the war between man and ape. Our money is on the humans. We cheat.

Look for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes to drop on July 11. The trailer is after the break.

On day two of WonderCon, Fox did its best to take over the convention in Anaheim. The studio showed footage from several of its upcoming films and politely remained mum on Director Bryan Singer’s recent legal troubles.

The clip from X-Men: Days of Future Past, which included a faceoff between Iceman and Sunspot, certainly excited audiences in the Anaheim Convention Center’s Arena. Fox slyly avoided audience questions by saving X-Men to the end of the presentation. In truth, fans had already gotten their fill of footage and Q&A from the other movies’ cast and crew.

Perhaps trying to answer the YA smash hit The Hunger Games, Fox now has its own teen post-apocalyptic movie in The Maze Runner. Director Wes Ball and author James Dashner were both inspired by Ender’s Game, Lord of the Flies and Lost when creating The Maze Runner and it showed in the brief but thrilling preview seen in Anaheim.

The recent reboot of Planet of the Apes was actually pretty good. Yeah, we were surprised too. Naturally, Fox is back with a sequel and there’s a first trailer out today.

The amazing Andy Serkis is, of course, back as Caesar. The also amazing Gary Oldman is in the cast too as the leader of the human survivors of a virus that’s decimated the planet.

In the film, the humans and apes are working together but soon, that truce is put to the test as events unfold pitting human against ape in a struggle to determine who will survive to rule the earth.

Our money is on the apes. Hail Caesar!

Check out the trailer after the break. Look for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes to hit theaters on July 11, 2014.
