A little less subtle than Giant Bomb at the Box Office, but makes up for it by being succinct. Good choice.

I'm loving the trend of bomb puns in these sidecasts.

Between Bombin' the AM, Power Bombcast, and now this, it has officially become "A Thing", so now any future podcasts simply must follow the naming scheme.

Now I have to stop putting off seeing The World's End. The nice thing about this podcast is that it's getting me to see everything I want to see again (I listen in the car, hard to skip spoilers while in bumper-to-bumper!)

Liking the new name. I hope this happens more along the lines of every 2 weeks or so in the future, but I'll take what I can get.

The World's End was freaking great, perhaps best of the trilogy. Can't wait to listen to Matt and Alex's thoughts.

Rorie, there actually was another Dungeons and Dragons movie, it was either a straight-to-DVD movie, or a Made for TV Movie.

It was called Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God. It was actually fairly decent for a non-existent budget and even worse CGI than the first. Unlike the first movie it was a lot like a typical DnD campaign.

I've also just leanred that ANOTHER Dungeons and Dragons movie was made as well. Dungeons and Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness. Huh...

Now that I've seen the title, I'm kind of angry that you didn't think of it in the first place.

Europa Report: Caught it while I was wavering in and out of sleep. The landing on Europa has a real palpable tension that only slightly gets released. Definite taps into the fear of the Unknown. Could have caught it in a theater, but I realized I could rent it and another limited release for the price of one ticket.

Elysium: The more I think about the film, the more disappointed I am with it. So many issues/questions I had with the film could have been resolved with a line or two. If they have beds that can rebuild/restore a person on an atomic level, how the heck is there still any resource shortage on Earth? As for Jodie Foster, I think the biggest issue is how she's not so much an active part of the story. She sneers well enough, but fades into the background while so much sound and fury happens around her.

It's Kind of A Funny Story isn't a bad first date movie either, I saw it with a girl not too long ago she enjoyed it. Still the relationship ended a month to two later, but at the time the movie worked well.
