That’s right, it’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. The new year just keeps on giving (pretty much).
On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss the movie Arrival, Ben Affleck dropping out of directing Batman, M. Night Shyamalan’s career, the curious case of Jeremy Renner, the pleasures of mindless entertainment, the start of the new Han Solo solo movie, who should be the next Doctor and more. Plus, the usual even more. But don’t worry, no politics (mostly).
Beer selections this week include Mosaic IPA from Community Beer Co. for Chris and Gnomegeddon Blonde Ale from Brewery Ommergang for Joe. Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the film Unbreakable and Joe’s pick of the movie The Accountant.

That’s right folks, it’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast. And just like last week, you thought nothing good was gonna happen this week. Wrong again.
On this week’s show, Chris and Joe discuss and debate the major announcements from Comic-Con in San Diego, including all the scoop on Marvel, DC and their respective movie franchises. They also manage to throw in a bit of comics and TV news/discussion too, just for the heck of it. Plus, we finally get our first look at Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. And yes, there’s also the usual “more.”
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the TV series The Strain and Joe’s pick of the upcoming Simpsons / Family Guy crossover episode. Should be epic.

That’s right, there’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast for you to enjoy. And on the correct day too. No, no need to thank us. We do it all for you.
As you would expect, this week Chris and Joe take on some new topics and revisit old ones. But really, they spend most of the episode talking about Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. You got a problem with that? No. Okay then.
This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the collected comic book trade of The Winter Soldier by Ed Brubaker and Joe’s pick of the band Sound of Contact. Just trying to keep it diverse. Don’t judge.

After a move to a new day and time and some personal problems last week, the boys are finally back with a brand new episode this week! That’s right, it’s another new episode of The Flickcast on its new day: Wednesday!
And yes, as we said before, it’s still the same great show, just on a new day. So, let’s get to it.
This week Chris and Joe take on some new topics including the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, the Marvel universe, the (potential) death of Nick Fury, a Black Widow movie, the return of Heroes and 24, what makes a movie star, some Oscar predictions and a whole lot more.
That’s right, the ever-present more. And, 11% more sincerity this week. Yes, we’re trying.
This week’s picks include some awesome stuff. You’ll just have to listen to find out as we’re too lazy to put them here. Besides, it would ruin the surprise.

Even with all the news of Marvel and Disney today (don’t worry, Chris and Joe will talk all about it in the podcast this week), we can’t forget other things dropping today. One of these things is a brand new trailer for Robocop from Sony.
The reboot, directed by Jose Padilha, stars The Killing‘s Joel Kinnaman as the detective-turned-crime-fighting cyborg. Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Abbie Cornish and Jay Baruchel co-star.
Look for it to arrive on February 12, 2014. Uh oh, February. Let’s hope that release date doesn’t mean what we think it could mean.
Anyway, check out the trailer after the break.

This week on The Flickcast Chris and Joe are back for more and ready to get down and geeky. In this episode it’s pretty much all Comic-Con 2013 all the time as the boys recap the major happenings during the show.
They go way in depth and talk about all the things they loved, and not-so-loved, about the Con. These include, of course, the Superman / Batman movie announcement, Avengers 2: Age of Ultron and a whole lot more. Plus, they spend some time discussing the power of Robert Downey, Jr., the upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series, who should play Batman now that Christian Bale is supposedly done and the upcoming Simpsons / Family Guy crossover.
In addition, the boys made some picks this week including Joe’s pick of the Samsung Soundbar
and Chris’ pick of the fantasy novel Magician
by Raymond E. Feist.

It’s Jurassic Park.
I still have my toy T-Rex from 1993 — and it still roars! I know pretty much all of Jeff Goldblum’s lines by heart and am working my way through memorizing Wayne Knight’s. I, like many others, am still pissed that Muldoon gets treated the way he does.
Jurassic Park was the first “big” movie (well, outside of Tim Burton’s Batman) that I saw in theaters. I was too young for Return of the Jedi and Indiana Jones, and I remember being at summer camp, talking to my parents on the one phone in the whole place, outside the administration center, hearing my mom and dad describe how amazing it was. Those damn three weeks couldn’t be over soon enough for me to get to the theater.
So it’s a personal, nostalgic favorite.
Unless you’ve been living in a bathtub eating spaghetti for the last 20 years, you already know the plot: eccentric billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has discovered a way to clone dinosaurs. There’s an accident, and his investors are concerned about the safety of the park, so Hammond invites paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Satler (Laura Dern), as well as even-more eccentric chaotician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) for a weekend stay. They discuss the philosophy of creating such a place, some kids show up, the dinos get loose and so does all hell.
Now it’s been converted to 3D, and pretty damn well.

About 15 minutes in I decided I wanted some popcorn, and upon looking at my phone, it appeared that an hour and a half had passed. From what I understand, that hasn’t been the standard reaction across the Internet, but for me at least, Django was incredibly easy to watch, and not for a moment did I want it to end.
The structure is right in tune with many Spaghetti Westerns (itself being one more in a long series of unofficial sequels to Sergio Corbucci’s 1966 film Django): the compacted serial with each episode lasting a half hour or so. There’s an overarching plot, but just as much does it like to get sidetracked in subplots.
The main story centers around Django (Jamie Foxx), a runaway slave many times over who only wants to be reunited with his wife. He has the good fortune of meeting up with Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a German dentist turned bounty hunter, hot on the trail of the notorious Brittle Brothers. Django, a former acquaintance of the Brittles, is the only man alive who knows what they look like, and Schultz, gleefully operating within the laws and well versed in all the loopholes, buys Django to help him hunt down the bounty.

Sure, I like to make a buck or two as much as the next guy (or girl). But this, much like The Hobbit being split into three movies, smacks as nothing more than a cheap stunt and a grab for cash. Sorry Universal, I love you, but really?
Yes, I’m talking about the re-release of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park in 3D. And yes, I don’t think much of this tactic. An yes, it’s kinda lame.
Still, it will be cool to see Jurassic Park on the big sheen again. And nobody does crazy, surprised googly eyes better than Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum almost manages to make me love math (almost), so there’s that. However, if there’s a non-3D screening, look for me at that one.
Look for this version of Jurassic Park to arrive in theaters on April 5, 2013. Check out the trailer (which you will just have to imagine is in 3D) after the break.

You’ve seen The Avengers, right? That very cool movie directed by Joss Whedon featuring Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and a whole lot more?
It was pretty great and made a ton of money. Naturally, when your making a huge movie like The Avengers everything doesn’t always go exactly as planned. One (or more) of those things that don’t always go exactly as planed are the performances by the actors.
In short, they occassionaly mess up their lines, or have more problems. Fortunately, the cameras are usually running during these times, which leads us to the new Avengers gag reel. It’s included on the movie’s DVD and Blu-ray release, but is also popping up around the Internets too.
Of course, we’ve got it for you after the break. Pretty funny stuff. Check it out.
