And, we’re back. We took a week off last week for various reasons, but now we’ve got a brand new episode of The Flickcast for you. As usual, there’s no need to thank us.
On this week’s show Chris and Joe take on some new topics and revisit old ones. Some of these topics include X-Men: Days of Future Past, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the true Star Wars day, Starlog magazine, Gareth Edwards and the new Star Wars, Godzilla, shakeups in the Marvel world including Edgar Wright leaving Ant Man and Drew Goddard leaving the Daredevil TV series, the merits of time travel, the history of the Rancor and a whole lot more.
It’s a pretty good episode, all things considered. Plus, all the more is pretty amazing.
The guys also made picks this week. Chris’ pick is the novel The Hydra Protocol by David Wellington and Joe’s pick is the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.

Each time new trailers, photos or whatever drops from this upcoming movie, we get even more excited. Not that that’s really possible at this point as we’re already about as excited as you can get
There’s no doubt, we’re seeing this one opening day (or sooner, if possible). Yes, as the title says, we’re talking about X-Men: Days of Future Past.
There’s a new trailer out now and yes, it looks awesome. In this movie Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) goes back in time 50 years to alter history and hopefully prevent some bad shit from going down.
Does he succeed? Probably. But along the way you can be sure he kicks a lot of ass. As you might expect.
Along for the ride in this one, besides Jackman, are James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Michael Fassbender, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Peter Dinklage, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Fan Bingbing, Omar Sy, Nicholas Hoult and more.
Look for X-Men: Days of Future Past to arrive on May 23. Check out the trailer after the break.

But sometimes, things don’t work out as planned. Until, of course, they do. That’s right, here’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast for your listening pleasure.
As usual, this week Chris and Joe take on some new topics and some old ones. Some of these include new trailers for The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men: Days of Future Past, more casting news from the world of movies and TV, The Walking Dead finale, the awesomeness of Magnum, P.I. and a whole lot more.
Just listen. You’ll enjoy it.

To be honest, I’m kinda looking frward to this movie more than pretty much any other this Summer. Why? Well, because it’s the X-Men, that’s why.
Plus, Bryan Singer in the director’s chair and a cast that’s the envy of the civilized movie-watching world. Also, it just looks cool. Oh, and because this sound like a movie I’m gonna love:
The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original “X-Men” film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from the past, “X-Men: First Class,” in order to change a major historical event and fight in an epic battle that could save our future.
And yes, there’s a new trailer that’s just dropped today. Check it out after the break.
Look for X-Men: Days of Future Past to arrive in theaters on May 23.

Before I go too far with this review of the Blu-ray Combo Pack release of director Dennis Villeneuve’s film Prisoners, I need to make a couple things clear. First, I’m a Hugh Jackman fan. I think he’s a very good actor who’s almost always a pleasure to watch.
Even in less-than-stellar movies, he usually stands out. That’s not to say Prisoners is one of those movies, it isn’t. It’s just so you know where I’m coming from.
The second thing I need to point out is my love of a adult drama. For a time Hollywood made a lot of these kinds of movies and they were often quite good. Occasionally, even excellent. Standouts in the past like The Fugitive, Jagged Edge and Presumed Innocent come to mind.
Plus, more recent films like Argo and Silver linings Playbook are also good examples. But most of the time the industry seems consumed with the need to make and market movies for kids and skimp on things like character or story. I worry about the future of adult drama.
Fortunately, a movie occasionally comes along that restores my faith, at least temporarily, that this art form will not be lost forever. Prisoners is one of those movies and it manages to deliver on almost every level.

Say what you will about Bryan Singer’s take on the X-Men, but at least his was way better than what that other guy did with X-Men: Last Stand. Jeez, what a mess that was.
And don’t get us started on his desire to do a Battlestar Galactica movie. We’ve covered that, but it’s not the point right now. This is about the X-Men.
Anyway, Singer has been working on a new X-Men movie, a sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s excellent X-Men: First Class, and now there’s a new trailer for it for all to see.
In it we get a good look at the movie and the mutants who will be joining forces to battle the Sentinels. And yes, that list is pretty impressive.
Check out the trailer after the break. Look for X-Men: Days of Future Past to hit theaters on May 23, 2014.

This week on The Flickcast Chris and Joe return once again to take you through all the important geek news, and more, of the week. The boys kick it off right this time and discuss who might be the new Doctor on Doctor Who and Joe goes out of his way to deny rumors he will be the 12th Doctor. Doth he protest too much?
They also get into all-things The Wolverine and talk about the new movie featuring Hugh Jackman, the good and bad points and how it relates to past and future X-Men movie continuity. And, shifting to DC, there’s also a lot of talk about the recent movie Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, whcih both Chris and Joe really liked. And, of course, the usual other geeky stuff.
The boys made some picks this week including Joe’s pick of the DC digital comics series Batman ’66 and Chris’ pick of the animated movie Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox
. Yes, he really liked it.

There’s several things to like about the upcoming film Prisoners from director Denis Villeneuve. For one, it features a terrific ensemble cast including Hugh Jackman, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, and Viola Davis.
Second, the director’s previous film, Incendiaries, was quite enjoyable. For more reasons, you’ll just have to check out the trailer for Prisoners that’s just come out.
In the film, two families lives are upturned when their young daughters go missing together. Yeah, that’s probably not going to end well. The movie also stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a cop trying to pick up the missing girls’ trail, Paul Dano and Melissa Leo.
Look for it to arrive in theaters on September 20. Check out the trailer (which reveals some plot elements) after the break.
