Hey, it’s a new episode of The Flickcast! We know it’s late (again) and we apologize (again) and we’re sorry we missed last week (again). We were going to blame Chris and his move to Austin again, but this one is all Joe’s fault. So get off Chris’ back, okay?
Anyway, on this week’s show Chris and Joe discuss all the major developments at last week’s Comic-Con in San Diego. Some of these include the Star Wars: The Force Awakens behind-the-scenes video, the popularity of Harrison Ford, the new Batman vs. Superman trailer, Ash vs. Evil Dead, Suicide Squad, Heroes Reborn, bootleg and “leaked” footage, doing it for the lulz and a lot more.
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the awesome USA show Mr. Robot and Joe’s pick of the awesome comics store Olympic Comics.

What’s this? Another new episode of The Flickcast for your listening pleasure? That’s right.
On this week’s episode, Chris and Joe take it to another level and really seem angry about a lot of stuff, which isn’t like them. Still, anger leads to the Dark Side, so we should probably keep an eye on them. In the meantime, some of these anger-provoking topics include Jared Leto’s joker, Frank Miller’s new Batman, what kind of a girl Black Widow is and a whole lot more.
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the movie Ex Machina, written and directed by Alex Garland, and Joe’s pick of the new album by Big Wreck called “Ghosts.”

In our opinion at least, Will Smith can pretty much do no wrong. Even when he’s in a somewhat questionable movie, he still manages to come out looking good.
His latest, the sci-fi action movie After Earth, looks promising to continue that trend. The only real problem we can see so far is the director, M. Night Shyamalan.
Yeah, we used to think he was pretty great too. But now, not so much. What happened?
Anyway, a new trailer for After Earth has arrived and in it we see Smith and son Jaden, who also play father and son in the movie, crash-land on a hostile Earth a thousand years into the future. Needless to say (but we’ll go ahead anyway) things don’t go as they expect. To say the least.
Look for After Earth to arrive in theaters on June 7th. The trailer is after the break.

As we’re constantly bombarded with all sorts of new movies, TV shows and the like it’s sometimes hard to muster enthusiasm for what seems like just another reboot, remake, retread or sequel. We’re worried, of course, that the makers of said project are just in it to cash in and make as much money as possible without really worrying too much about things like characters, story or doing a good job.
Fortunately, there’s a few times where after looking at a trailer for an upcoming reboot, remake or sequel, it seems just the opposite is true and the people involved do care and have made something good. Men In Black 3 seems to be one of those cases.
There was a teaser for the film last December and now the first theatrical trailer for it is out and we have to say it looks pretty darn good. Back in action are Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as the eponymous J and K as well as a new twist, Josh Brolin as the 1969 version of Tommy Lee Jones’s character after Smith’s J goes back in time to prevent an alien invasion that could destroy the planet.
Take a look at the trailer after the break and judge for yourself. We think this is going to be big. Look for Men In Black 3 to hit theaters on May 25.

In what is probably the least surprising news ever, Men in Black III was all Will Smith’s idea. Men in Black III director Barry Sonnenfeld was recently interviewed by UK entertainment magazine Contactmusic, in which he confirmed that the story and plot of Men in Black III was completely thought up by Will Smith.
”Will calls me Baz. When we were shooting ‘Men In Black II’ [in 2002], one night he said ‘Hey Baz, I think I have an idea for number three’. The basic idea was that Will’s character, Agent J, would have to go back into the past to save his partner,” said Sonnenfeld.”It allowed the movie to take place in another era, and us to learn more about Tommy Lee Jones’ character. But it turned out to be a very long process of development, mainly because of the knotting issues of time travel, the time travel thing was really hard”

The Men In Black franchise is much like the Transformers franchise. The first films were sci-fi, popcorn cinema classics that struck a perfect blend of action, heart and humor, then the sequels came out and were cinematic abominations. While the giant robot movies kept chugging forward, the Men in Black series seemed like it couldn’t survive the blight that was Men In Black 2.
Thankfully, the franchise received a pardon and the third Men In Black film is fast approaching. The first teaser for next summer’s blockbuster-to-be has just hit the web and it actually looks pretty great. In case you are unaware of what the next Men in Black film is about here is a synopsis:
In Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back… in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.
Check out the teaser after the jump.

I guess it doesn’t pay to be Jada Pinkett Smith these days. First, rumors surface of your alleged affair with Mark Anthony which made Will Smith cry and now TNT has decided not to renew your TV show.
That’s right, for those of you watching Smith and her co-stars each week on Hawthorne, the show will not be back for a fourth season. This news comes after TNT recently canceled another show that, at least in my opinion, was pretty good and worth watching: Men of a Certain Age.
Apparently also “on the bubble” is the Jason Lee starrer Memphis Beat, which has been on for two seasons already. According to reports, the odds of it returning are pretty much even money.
Here’s the official statement about Hawthorne from TNT:
TNT has decided not to order a fourth season of HawthoRNe. TNT truly appreciates the tremendous dedication of everyone involved in HawthoRNe. The series gave TNT the opportunity to work with many outstanding people, including Jada Pinkett Smith and the rest of the show’s talented cast, crew, producers and writers. We wish everyone involved with HawthoRNe nothing but the best.
Nothing but the best. Isn’t that nice? And they say people in Hollywood don’t care.

To be honest, as with most remakes, I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’m sure it might look like a great idea on paper, at least to some, but I’m not sure director Spike Lee has the required sensibilities to direct a remake of Chanwook Park’s cult classic revenge tale Oldboy.
That’s right, according to reports, Lee is set to do that very thing for Mandate Pictures. The new film is being adapted by Mark Protosevich, who will also co-produce.
It’s not that I think Lee isn’t a good director, he is. In fact, I very much enjoyed his recent film Inside Man, which showed he can reach beyond the fare he’s usually associated with. Plus, his 25th Hour was also a very good indicator of his range as a director.
But Oldboy requires a certain bit of over-the-top thinking that I’m not sure Lee can muster. I felt the same way when it was Steven Spielberg and Will Smith who were trying to mount a remake a few years ago. I’m not sure they could do the film justice either.
At least, given the choice between Spielberg and Lee, I would pick Lee to do the remake. He’s at least farther down the right track. Of course, now that this is going again and Lee is apparently onboard, the big question is who will play the title character, know as Oh Dae-Su in Park’s version?
