In this week’s new podcast, we’re taking aim at Jack Reacher. Tom Cruise stars as the mysterious drifter and former military investigator in this gritty action thriller. It also marks the first time Cruise teamed up with director Christopher McQuarrie, a partnership that would lead to several Impossible films to come. Does this adaptation of Lee Child’s popular novel One Shot hit the mark? Listen now as our hosts break down the action, the performances, and whether Jack Reacher stands tall or falls short.

With “horror holidays” like Halloween, April Fool’s Day, and Friday the 13th routinely being celebrated with 21st Century remakes, it makes sense that someone would dig up My Bloody Valentine in 2009,. Can the censors stop the carnage now that it’s flying into audiences’ faces via 3-D?  And what kills a small town faster – a homicidal maniac stuffing residents’ hearts into boxes of candy, or prodigal son Jensen Ackles (Supernatural) closing down the local coal mine? Find out if the hosts are sweet on this second helping of Harry Warden when you Listen Now!

The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated conclusion to his Batman trilogy, opened last Friday under the pall of a senseless tragedy that occurred at a screening in Colorado. Nationwide, people mourn for those lost, and pray for those injured. But the majority refuse to let the acts of one man taint a movie they’ve waited four years to see, and audiences rushed to theaters and IMAX to see if Nolan’s latest effort could measure up to 2008’s record-breaking, Academy Award winning The Dark Knight. Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob’s final review in their Batman retrospective series to find out if it did.

Arnie and Marjorie take an “in-depth” look at My Bloody Valentine 3D, the latest genre offering from Lionsgate. Reviving an ’80s slasher with modern 3D gimmicks, pickaxes flying at the audience, and a Valentine’s Day body count, the film aims to prove that horror remakes can still draw blood. But does the added depth actually enhance the scares, or is this just another recycled slasher relying on nostalgia and novelty? Is My Bloody Valentine 3D something to cherish forever, or does it leave the hosts cold and broken-hearted?
