Welcome to any new listeners that came to us through our interviews last episode! We hope you liked what you heard and will stick around (and subscribe). We’re glad to have you!
Well, it was bound to happen. For almost a full year, 42 episodes Daniel has been able to keep his dark secret from Jason. He knew he couldn’t keep it from him forever and he was right. The ugly truth comes out… and it doesn’t go well…
Things do eventually calm down and we are able to carry on and rationally discuss other things like new toys they have found in stores and what Jason will be at Halloween this year.
All that, PLUS-
Hasbro eyes Monopoly, Hungry Hippos movies.
David Tennant gets a World’s Record for Doctor Who.
A slew of new 007 toys are hitting in honor of the 50th Anniversary: remote control cars in 3 different scales with lights and sound from Toy State Industrial, Corgi is of course doing an Aston Martin in SKYFALL packaging, and Suntory in Japan is doing a set of 15 vehicles from the films in 2 different scales. Jason brought in one of the RC Bond cars for us to play with while we recorded this episode.
Also, Procter and Gamble is doing ’007′ cologne.
Adele’s SKYFALL song
James Bond’s swimsuit sold for more than you’d thing a used bathing suit might go for last week at auction.
JOHN CARTER- From the ‘lost’ file, someone is actually coming out with Halloween costume accessories: JC’s sword, a Thark sword and the Thern medallion. All between 6-9 bucks each.
Disney just released their Vinylmation set of 4 characters from ‘JC’.
Jason’s documentary pick up the week – TALIHINA NIGHTS-THE STORY OF KINGS OF LEON – Amazing doc about the band.
THE BEATLES- Magical Mystery Tour hits BluRay this week.
And, because NO ONE demanded it…but we do talk about it this episode.. here is the “lost” Buckner and Garcia song “E.T. I Love You.”
Daniel your James Bond revelation would have been perfect for the 50th episode. Maybe for the 50th you can have Russell name all of the clips from the theme song.
Great Max impression from Hart-to-Hart. I think the dog’s name was Freeway.
If you are bored check out Battleship. It wasn’t that bad. Also, isn’t Boardwalk Empire the Monopoly movie?
Hiya Andy! Thanks so much for listening and taking the time to post! Not sure what ‘JC’ stuff we were gabbing about in this week’s ep, but I had to jump on and reply to your comments. I’m sorry, but your points hardly make a case for ‘Prometheus’ being a better film than ‘Carter’. If you like it more, fine, but let’s remember that each ‘Transformer’ film did better than the last, and I wouldn’t let my dog sit and try and watch those heaps. The ‘bottom line’ doesn’t mean ‘better film’. I can only speak of my particular experiences, but while I’ve had feedback on ‘JC’ ranging from great to so-so, across the board I don’t know a single soul that doesn’t think ‘Prometheus’ is the worst film of the year and a massive wasted opportunity. Believe me, no one wanted to love that flick more than me, it was what I was looking forward to more than anything else this past summer. I’m even tempted to rent the DVD to see if there are scenes/extras that show me there was a better film lurking around in the dark somewhere in there. I even picked up the ‘Space Jockey’/Engineer figure from NECA, ’cause it’s as close as I’ll ever get to the one from ’79′s ALIEN! But it was a mess, pure and simple, and if those were the words on the page from the get-go, the thing should never have been made. I’d be curious to hear what it was about it that you loved so much?
Prometheus was good enough for me but I slept through some of it. It was no Dark Shadows. It seemed like your typical summer movie. The NECA figures look incredible. What I really liked most about Prometheus was the LENZI and PICKETT reaction.

Rottentomatoes: Prometheus 73% John Carter 51%
Metacritic: Prometheus 65% John Carter 51%
BoxofficeMojo: Prometheus: 402 mil John Carter: 282 mil
I can’t think of many more ways to quantify it. You two are in the minority
