That’s right. It’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. And because we don’t really keep to a regular schedule these days, let’s just say this one arrived right on time. Cool? Cool.
On this week’s show Chris and Joe pretty much devote the entire episode to the latest Marvel blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. It’s a big movie and it deserves a lot of time for discussion. So, the boys take a lot of time.
They do manage to discuss a couple other things too, but that’s pretty much near the end. So if you’re looking for some Civil War talk, you’ve come to the right place. If you want something else, well, there’s always next week.
Picks this week include, you guessed it, Captain America: Civil War. Unanimously. But really, we don’t have to tell you to go see this one, do we?

We hope everyone had a great holiday and took some much deserved time off. We sure did. Now, with all that out of the way, we can get back to doing what we do, well, pretty decently. That’s right, it’s time once again for a brand new episode of The Flickcast.
Yes, we know this one is coming a day late. Sorry.
On this week’s episode Chris and Joe cover many new and recurring topics. Some of these topics include the new Marvel TV series Agent Carter, the new Ant-Man teaser and trailer, the hero qualities of Paul Rudd, DC movie rescheduling (again), the new Star Wars movies and a whole lot more.
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the classic 1960 sci-fi movie The Time Machine, starring the late Rod Taylor, and Joe’s pick of the Starz series Black Sails, which isn’t the series about pirates that sucks starring John Malkovich. It’s the other one.

Time is , as usual, short so we’ll make this quick. Here’s another new episode of The Flickcast.
In this the third episode of 2014, Chris and Joe are back in business and on a roll. As always, they’ve spared no expense and pulled no punches discussing the topics of this week’s show.
Some of these topics include the Oscar nominations, casting news from the movies Ant Man and Dr. Strange and more in the continuing discussion of the evolution of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Of course, there’s whole lot of that more you’ve come to expect from a quality program like this, but we can’t give it all away, now can we? You’ll just have to listen.

Another week, another new episode of The Flickcast. Exciting, right? We hope so as Chris and Joe are back to discuss all the major (and minor) geek news of the week.
Topics this week include the new Dawn of the Planet of the Apes trailer, Ant Man casting news, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Sandman, the rise of Netflix and the problems with Amazon, the “greatness” of the movie Running Man, the actual greatness of the movie Brick, holiday movie choices, what movies Chris should watch on his birthday, how to get free porn and a whole lot more!
Did we mention all the more! Well, there’s a lot of it. More, in fact.
This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the movie Prisoners and Joe’s pick of the actor Matt Smith, who will portray Doctor Who for the last time on the Christmas special next week.

The whole gang is back for the sequel to Anchorman and we couldn’t be happier about it. The first Anchorman is one of our favorite comedies, mostly thanks to the very talented ensemble cast who really go above and beyond to bring the funny.
With Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, we’re back with Ron Burgandy and the gang as they need to get back together to help save their favorite TV station. Plus, Brick has a girlfriend, played by Kristin Wig. Awesome.
Check out all the fun after the break. Look for Anchorman 2 to arrive on December 20.

We get a lot of email here at The Flickcast. A large part of it is from PR people telling us about the “next big thing” or that a new movie, TV show, game or whatever will “leave us speechless” or be “life changing” in some way.
Most of the time that’s BS. However, in the case of the upcoming film Prince Avalanche, they might just have a point. We haven’t seen the entire movie yet, of course, but if the trailer is any indication, this movie may just have what it takes to change a few lives. Or, at the very least, be highly entertaining for 90 or so minutes.
Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch star in the film, which is directed by David Gordon Green. Here’s some of the synopsis to give you an idea of what we’re talking about:
An odd couple of sorts, meditative and stern Alvin and his girlfriend’s brother, Lance, dopey and insecure, leave the city behind to spend the summer in solitude repainting traffic lines down the center of a country highway ravaged by wildfire. As they sink into their job in the remarkable landscape, they learn more than they want to about each other and their own limitations. An unlikely friendship develops through humor and nasty exchanges, leading to surprising affection.
Check out the trailer after the break.

Good news for all you Anchorman fans. Will Ferrell made the official announcement on Conan O’Brien’s TBS talk show last night that there will be an Anchorman 2. Dressed in full Ron Burgundy get up, Ferrell did an in-character flute solo followed by an official announcement for “the Americas” that the film is in production.
Adam McKay has agreed to direct. McKay will also write the script with Ferrell. Other than Ferrell’s Ron Burgundy, Steve Carell and Paul Rudd are signed on to return as their characters from the 2004 original. No word yet on whether any other characters will be returning from the original film. The film will once again be produced under Judd Apatow’s production company.
Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy had been a DreamWorks production but Paramount took over the project.
As recently as last month, Will Ferrell had been working on the script for Step Brothers 2, which lead many to believe that Anchorman 2 was dead in the water. The sequel had been on the shelf for a while now due to the studio not being willing to reach an agreement on making the film.
More on the film as it becomes available and see the clip after the jump.
Stay classy, San Diego…

I’m not sure if the world needed a movie to put those damn hippies in their place, or needed to introduce us to the culture of nude wine-making, or why the name is Wanderlust when the characters stay in one place, but no matter.
Paul Rudd plays George, a 30/40-something someone (this is where I’d mention his job, but it’s never made clear), and his wife Linda (Jennifer Aniston), another 30/40 with a sordid and varied resume; her latest occupation is hocking a documentary she made about penguins with testicular cancer to HBO. They usefully inform her that it could use more sex, violence, and vampires.
George and Linda have recently purchased an expensive and tiny apartment in Manhattan, only for George to lose his job and Linda to, predictably, get tossed out of HBO for her lousy doc. So, unemployed and destitute in New York, they high-tail it to Georgia to stay with George’s brother Rick (Ken Marino). On the way, they stop overnight at Elysium Fields, an ostensible bed and breakfast, but really a hippie commune run by well-aged toker Carvin (Alan Alda), and featuring nudist wine-maker Wayne (Joe Lo Truglio), spacey moonchild Kathy (Kerri Kenney-Silver), eye candy Eva (Malin Akerman) and all-around douche Seth (Justin Theroux).

There are certain comedy sub-genres that have either become parodies of themselves or just lost in Instant Netflix obscurity. Genres like the college comedy, the buddy cop comedy, and most importantly, the road comedy are among these. Something about protagonists finding themselves through an adventurous road trip has a certain amount of majesty to it.
Thankfully, comedy gurus David Wain and Ken Marino, best known as prime members of The State, have not forgotten the wonder of the road comedy, as the first trailer for Wanderlust has hit the web. The film stars Paul Rudd and (unfortunately) Jennifer Aniston as two workaholics living in New York City that decide to embark on a journey across the country to find themselves, and some pretty zany characters along the way.
If the writing style of Wain and Marino (the same minds that brought you Role Models) isn’t enough to get you into this flick, the massive cast of cameos should help. You can look forward to seeing actors like Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman, Alan Alda, Kathryn Hahn, Melissa Joan Hart, Ray Liotta, Reba McEntire, and Kerri Kenney-Silver in the film, just to name a few.
So before you pass judgment, check out the new trailer after the jump! Wanderlust is set to hit theaters on March 24th, 2012.

So it turns out America is a huge fan of heartwarming tales about maids, as indie comedy The Help managed to steal the show once again, claiming the #1 spot for the second time in 3 weeks.
The film has grossed nearly $100 million domestically, and is still growing in popularity, as it beat out Colombiana, Guillermo del Toro’s Don’t Be Afraid Of the Dark and Paul Rudd’s attempt at a quirky indie comedy with Our Idiot Brother, bringing in a total of $14.3 million this weekend.
Coming in second is Luc Besson’s Colombiana, which only managed to bring in $10 million (a quarter of the film’s budget) in the domestic box office this weekend.
Just after that film, the first big horror film of the late summer/early fall season, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, was unable to open big enough to scare the masses, as the film barely managed to break $10 million this weekend, coming in just shy of $9 million.
