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.

To make up for our break,  this week we review “Never Let Me Go”, Mel Gibson’s planned  comeback movie  “The Beaver”, Brandon Routh starring “Dylan Dog:Dead of Night”; GI JOE and Billy Elliot  go behind enemy lines in “The Eagle”, and Jon Favreau’s Sci-fi western “Cowboys and Aliens”.

We also dip a little into nostalgia with a quick summary of the new “Thundercats” TV show, talk about the the latest casting rumour for “Hong Kong Phooey”, discuss the latest updates on the new “Avengers” and “Dark Knight” movies, plus discuss which makes the better Judge Dredd, the replica costume or the one it looks like they are using for the movie.

Which...ahem,"helmet" do you prefer?

Pictured: NOT McYapandFries

Yes, we’re back after quite a break, again and no neither of us was in jail . At this point I think that we have more “welcome back” podcasts than regularly scheduled shows.

We’ve selected only the choicest cuts from all the news for discussion in the podcast this week, including: the gritty reboot no one expected (or wanted); news on Tarantino’s next project (and who has already bailed on it, allegedly) and more casting news on Superman’s Dad with some rampant speculation on his accent and hairstyle .

As it’s been over a month since ewe’ve had a chance to cast,  we also catch up on all the movies that we’ve missed with reviews of   “X-Men: First Class”, “The Hangover Part 2″, “Blitz”, “Green Lantern” (and a little bit on “Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides”).

As usual you can find all the trailers and pics mentioned in this week’s show below for your perusal.

Until next time, enjoy!

Show Notes:

• Latest “Captain America” Trailer: Heroes are made where?
• First pics of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins in “The Hobbit”
• The Adventures of Tin Tin trailer
• First look at Hawkeye and The Hulk alongside Captain America, Thor and Iron Man in the new  “Avengers” Promo Latest Poster

Milday, wouldst thou join me in listening to a podcast?

What madness is this!!? A second podcast within  a single week!? Well Gavin and I couldn’t let Thor pass without  having a no hold barred, cage match discussion of the film, the plot, the characters, the effects,  character arcs, who lives, who dies, everything!

Hence we bring you our first separate SPOILERcast. If you’ve not seen Thor yet then we recommend that you DO NOT listen to this podcast until after you have seen it, lest you ruin your viewing pleasaure.

Once you have seen Thor  relive the movie with us and let us know what you think of Asgard’s mightiest by emailing us at podcast@mcyapandfries.com or sending us your comments via the form available at the “contact us” link above (or click here )

Enjoy the show!

Seriously?

This week  we review, what else, but “Thor”, the next Marvel hero to jump from the comic book page to the big screen. For those of you worried about such things, our review of Thor in THIS podcast will be completely spoiler free, as we have prepared a separate Thor spoiler-cast, where we discuss the movie, in detail covering plot details of the film, which I’ll put up in a day or too once everyone has had a chance to see the movie.

I think I can fairly say that it’s not a spoiler that Thor Frog over there there is NOT in the movie. He’s just an incredibly dumb thing that we wanted to share

As for the rest of the show we’ve got news of Bill and Ted 3,  rumours that  Arnie may be back again for “Terminator:Retirement”, tales of the the apparent rivalry between Steve McQueen and Bruce Lee and much much more.  All the trailers and pics we mention should be covered by the show notes below, let me know if I’ve missed something, enjoy!
