It’s been a couple of weeks since our last show, but this one is worth the wait (we hope). This week we tackle Oren Peli’s viral, scare-fest phenomenon “Paranormal Activity,” and then on to Ruben Fleischer’s Woody Harrelson-is-a-hillybilly-zombie-killer flick, “Zombieland.” Too much horror to handle? Find somebody to hold on to and [...]

This week Scott and I take a crack at deciphering that unruly, elusive devil called love. Marc Webb’s debut feature, the hipster-tinged “(500) Days of Summer” is an indie hit that’s been hailed as a transcended unconventional love story. So, can Tommy from “3rd Rock From the Sun” and Summer, the singing department [...]

Rookie director, Neill Blomkamp, has received untold accolades for his alien apartheid allegory, “District 9.” Can this $30 million socially conscious film please both the sci-fi fanboys and hardcore film snobs?  And what exactly does this mean for fans of “Halo”?  You’ll have to listen to find out!
