Consider yourself warned.

Due to either the electromagnetic properties of Gavin’s farts, the fact that David Knight’s musical genius disrupts all known recording media, or because I screwed up the “refurbishment” of our “recording” “studio“(aka messed up the reinstallation of my laptop) this weeks’ podcast goodness is plagued by clicks and echo’s which I’m afraid no end of post processing and audio magick has been able to fix.

I’m putting it up as we had such a good time making it and we managed to get a guest star to join in, but the quality is, like, the worst. Consider this McYapandFries lost tape volume 1 (although that should really be the London-KL skype cast with 5 minutes delay between each end, but that’s really unlistenable).

Anyway if you can bear the rubbish sound quality this week’s cast features reviews of comedy Drama “Crazy, Stupid Love”, starring Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore and Emma Stone; banking crisis drama “Margin Call” with a stellar cast featuring Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons and Zachary Quitno amongst others; body switch gross out comedy “The Change up“ starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman, and finally “Melancholia”, the latest from Danish nut job Lars von Trier.

As usual here’s all the trailers that we discuss in the show, the next show should be back to full audio quality once more (if not quality of content). Enjoy!

• Trailer for Maggie Thatcher drama “The Iron Lady”
• In the first of the competing Snow White trailers we have Kristen Stewart,Chris Hemsworth & Charlize Theron (as the Evil Queen) in “Snow white and the Huntsman”
• Followed by an altogether differnet take with Julia Roberts hamming it up in “Mirror, Mirror”.
• Trailer for Madonna’s directorial debut W.E.
• (The “sizzle reel”  for Liam Neeson’s “The Grey” has been taken down)

Are you the farmer? Have you heard this joke before?

Well shiiit, looks like we’ve missed our window of opportunity with the podcast again.

Gavin’s had to go “away” for a while for “help”..I mean “work” and it was my “birthday” last week so our already erratic schedule has been truly thrown off it’s axis.

We’re looking into options to get you a podcast soon (Especially now that “Drive”  and “Killer Elite” are coming out) so please bear with us and we’ll get right back to you as soon as we can.

We’ve got the 80′s on our mind this week with news of remakes/sequels/reboots of  “Point Break”, “Highlander” and “The Evil Dead”, news of “Top Gun” in 3D, along with a review of another 80′s remake; “Fright Night”, starring Colin Farell, Toni Collete, Checkov from Star Trek  and McLovin’. Finishing off this week;s show we also review “Hesher” starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Natalie Portman.

Here’s the show notes/links:

• Badass trailer for “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”
• “Mouth Taped Shut” a behind the scenes blog for “The Girl with the dragon Tattoo”
• Pasty set pics of Johnny Depp in “Dark Shadows”

• and here’s where you can buy the shoes to benefit Michael J Fox’s Parkinson’s Charity (sale ends soon!)
• Interesting trailer for “Premium Rush” starring Joseph Gordon Levitt
• and for some fun here’s what R2D2′s really saying in episode 1

Seriously,  hot sammiches is the cause of 90% of accidents in the home, can scar you for life AND  leads to frivolous lawsuits, as we find out in this weeks cast  which, has a lot of news and revews to cover seeing as we have been away for a while.

“Are you the farmer!?”

Oh God Kill it!!! Kill it with FIRE!!!!

But seriously we seem to have taken an unplanned break in podcasting as we kind of reviewed all the latest releases that were available in the last podcast and then I kind of went on holiday for a bit leaving Gavin high and dry (he can’t get down off the wardrobe when i move his stepladder)
