Back once again with a mid-week podcast, this week’s show is chock full of Jake Gyllenhaal; with reviews of “Love and Other Drugs”, where he stars with Anne Hathaway, “Source Code” Duncan Jones directorial follow up for to last year’s “Moon”, with our Jake starring as a soldier who seems to be reliving the same train accident over and over again …or is he?

And we finish the show with a review of “True Grit”. Which doesn’t star Jake Gyllenhaal at all but what are you going to do?

Along with this, we bring you news of the villain Superman will be facing off against in Zack Snyder’s reboot of the franchise, along with the actor who will be playing them, news of Josh Brolin’s look for MIB 3, Mc’s growing anticipation for “Priest” and our usual set of bizarre questions from the mail bag.

Show Notes:

• Trailer for Arnie’s “The Governator”
• Genndy Tartakovsky’s animated prologue to “Priest”
• New Priest Trailer
• Michael Shannon’s IMDB page  (The man who will be Zod in superman)

For this week’s podcast goodness we bring you a special guest in the form of returning guest star Chi Ren  (and no he’s not the one with the chicken head) who joins Gavin and Iain as they review “Jackass 3D” (no explanation necessary I hope),  dramedy “Blue Valentine”,  1986’s Classic black comedy “Ruthless People”, and Gareth Edwards creatures in Mexico flick, “Monsters”.

This week we also take a loook at the new “Green Lantern” footage from Wondercon,  the new trailer for “The Hangover Part II”,  we talk a LOT about possible reboots and the hollywood cycle and we debut our new feature “Free Pass ” in which we pick the directors/actors whose projects,  no matter how crappy sounding, we would give the benefit of the doubt, based upon the awesomeness of the rest of their body of work.

Let us know who you would give a free pass to in the comments below!

Show notes:

• Green Lantern Wonder con Footage
• The Hangover Part II Trailer
• Jeremy Renner & Gemma Arterton as “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters”

Last week saw the first image released of Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights, Supernatural) in her costume as Wonder Woman in David E. Kelley’s new version of the classic TV show.

At this point who knows what to expect from NBC and Kelley who brought us Boston Legal (and Boston Public), Doogie Howser M.D, Chicago Hope and Ally McBeal (Christ that was a long time ago now), but leaked information seems to indicate that WW will be head of a huge corporation (who everyone knows is WW) as well as Diana Prince a somewhat more unassuming character.

The show’s only in pre-production now so it should be a while before we see any more apart from set pics (like those of Liz Hurley getting out of a car that were recently leaked), but what we want to know is what do YOU think of her new duds, especially compared to her old ones?

New, Classic and um blue swimming trunks Wonder Women?

Do you prefer “new” Wonder Woman, “Classic” WonderWoman , or Wonder Woman in her “Classic swimming trunks”? Click below to have your say!

A lot has happened since we last podcasted all those weeks ago but we’re finally back and this week we try to cover it all with reviews of  Aaron Eckhart’ s gritty “Battle Los Angeles”, Oscar Winning boxing movie “The Fighter”, geeks and aliens road comedy “Paul”,  sci-Fi romance “The Adjustment Bureau” and we finish off with a review of the quite frankly bizarre animated lizard western “Rango”.

On the news front we take a look at the latest “Winning “insanity to Come from Charlie Sheen; who we think will be next in the celebrity nut house; our take on the Wonder Woman costume for the new TV show and all the latest trailers  including “The Smurfs”, “Conan The Barbarian” , “Super 8”, “Attack the Block” and Tom Hanks & Julia Roberts  dramedy “Larry Crowne”, all of which are linked to below for your viewing pleasure.,

…that there’s no podcast this week.

Well, this is due to the minor issue that Gavin and I are separated by eight timezones at present, as I got sent away to the UK for work.

I should be back and normal service will resume in about two weeks and, time permitting, I’ll bring back some early reviews of movies that come out in Europe befiore they do in Asia.

Until then maybe you could email us in YOUR reviews to podcast@mcyapandfries.com

..according to our guest this week, one Mr. Paul Hasham, who joins Gavin and Iain in discussing the Superbowl trailers from last week, rumours of a Robocop statue in “old” Detroit, the emails we’ve received and in reviewing Oscar nominated “The King’s Speech”, and crazy anime  “Summer Wars”.

Show notes

• First trailer  for X-Men: First Class
• Trailer for the remake of Arthur
• New trailer for Hop
• First picture of Meryl Streep as Magaret Thatcher

This should totally work!

We’re late with our round up of the Superbowl teasers, (surprise, surprise) but I thought it best to get these up on the site so you could while away a few minutes on on Friday watching these and, if you feel like it, emailing us any thoughts or questions you might have on this year’s collection of summer blockbusters to podcast@mcyapandfries.com (or leaving comments at the end of the page).

I can’t remember when the first time was that I waited around for the Superbowl trailers to pop online, it can’t have been that long ago because its a relatively new thing that the ads are available so soon after showing on TV, maybe it was the first Michael Bay Transformers flick.
I do vaguely remember squinting at the screen for those 30 second snippets trying to glean what I could about the upcoming summer entertainments.

This years batch look pretty good, in order of my anticipation we start with our first real look at Chris Evans in “Captain America: The First Avenger”

(continue reading…)

Let’s roll Kato!
Yes we are back again, and this week we review the Green Hornet and 127 hours and discuss what we think of the new Superman (Henry Cavill) and the new Captain America Poster.
Disclaimer the podcast was recorded BEFORE the superbowl so we didn’t get to comment on the trailers in the cast but we will next week (and I’ll put up links to them over the next while)

• THIS is your Captain America
