Well I hope you have all recovered from your Tony Award watching parties.  I know Jason spent the whole day Sunday cooking themed dishes for his event.  You all remember how he couldn’t stop crying while watching Les Mis.  I’m sure this was more of the same.   How about you?  Did your favorite Broadway musical win last night?   Personally I was rooting for “Pippin” to win.

As you might imagine the announcement of Mat Smith leaving Doctor Who at the end of the year would be a topic of conversation with us.   We discuss what we think it means, who should be the next Doctor, who we don’t think should be the next Doctor and when we think we will hear an announcement.

Wow.  Episode 75.   Superman turns 75 years old this year and we just hit 75 episodes.  Same thing, right?

We’ve both absorbed the entire new season of Arrested Development on Netflix and we are ready to talk about it.   My viewing started about 12:20am on Sunday morning.  Jason started on Sunday afternoon of the holiday weekend but has already watched it once all the way thought and started on a second viewing.  That’s what the experts now call “binge viewing” whereby you watch hours of back to back episodes or even seasons of a TV show.   And for a show as intricate, well written and brilliantly woven together its the perfect program to sit down and enjoy 15 new episodes of Arrested Development.  The first new episodes in seven years!

In this episode we discuss:

• -  Orphan Black started slow but picked up and was worth watching.
• -  Jason saw ‘The Blacklist‘ the James Spader pilot that will be on this Fall.
• -  Amazon.com greenlights five new original series.
• -  New “Avengers Assemble” on Disney XD this past weekend.
• -  Disney Taps ‘Kon-Tiki’ Filmmakers to Direct ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 5′
• -  Glenn Close cast in Marvel’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ as the head of the Nova Corps.
• -  Shane Black looking at “Doc Savage” as his next film.
• -  Henry Cavel in talks to be the lead in a  Man from U.N.C.L.E. feature film.
• -  Evan Peters -Kid from American Horror story cast as Quicksilver in X-men DOFP –AND Joss Wheedon says he’s using Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in Avengers 2.  How’s THAT gonna work?

We get a little unexpected p0litical in this episode, but it’s as a result of a pop culture event.    As always your mileage may vary.

We both saw Star Trek Into Darkness so we can finally talk about it.  We save that discussion for the very end of the episode so if you would prefer not to have to movie spoiled for you then just shut us off before we start talking about that.  We give you fair warning in the episode.
