Seriously, McClane, stop leaving your house! It looks like that recent disastrous foray into Russia won't be John's last adventure after all. The sixth chapter of the 'Die Hard' franchise is currently…
Don't cancel your subscription to ESPN 8: The Ocho just yet. It looks like we're gearing up for another game of dodgeball. Fox is teaming up with Ben Stiller's Red Hour production company to put into motion the sequel to 2004's …
In this our 87th episode of the Braingasm podcast we are flying solo once again.
We began as we do every week with Ben complaining about the audio quality and abruptly pausing the record to fix it.
After that we did a bit of BS-ing. Cesca gave a status update about her new humble abode and Ben told the story of his first ever comedy show. It’s a good story and the effect that it had on Ben is obvious in the way he tells…
As we move closer to May, which is more or less the start of the summer blockbuster season, more and more 'Iron Man 3' marketing paraphernalia is cropping up. This new character poster for Shane Black's installment of the Iron Man franchise isn't just cool on its own, it also raises some interesting…
When we were kids, museums were things to which our parents or elementary school teachers dragged us. Now, Fox intends to try and drag us to an entirely different type of unwanted museum excursion. The studio has put into motion the third installment of its …
Let's ignore the fact that the words "Baywatch movie" haven't been in a headline since the mid-90s. It appears that Bill Hader has just closed a deal to play the …
In this third instalment of Cargasm we are joined by the elder statesman of Niagara Comedy, Jeff Stroop. This is part one of what will have to be a two part conversation which I consider Niagara Comedy: A People’s History.
This is a recording of the drive back from historic Club 54 in Burlington (home of the longest running stand up comedy show in television history). This was Ben’s first and Jeff’s hundred and first time performing there.…
As Sony puts together its sequel to this summer's 'Amazing Spider-Man,' the roster of new faces coming aboard is shaping up to be quite impressive. We've got …
This week on The Plot Hole, Steven and Simon start things off with some superhero movies news (as is more often than not the case) including big casting reveals for X-Men: Days of Future Past and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Then, helping to kick off awards season 2012, we mull over the winners of the New York Film Critics Circle which had an unlikely victor for Best Film of the year.
Also, speaking of winners, we chat the best movie posters of the year, along…
I've been waiting with a lot of anticipation to see this movie ever since hearing the Spill review, but for quite some time I was in fear that it wouldn't make it to my local cinema. Luckily they had the good taste to bring it in this weekend, and I have the chance to see what is also, my first Ben Affleck directed-movie. And even before we delve into it, I can happily report that the praise for…
I was already excited by the prospect of a Shane Black directed 'Iron Man 3,' but after seeing the first trailer recently, the movie has rocketed its way up my list of most anticipated films of 2013. In particular, I am really interested to see how his first cinematic outing with The Avengers has changed…
As pumped as I am for Sam Mendes''Skyfall,' I feel like the marketing has officially reached critical mass. The trailers and clips are so prevalent and, in some cases, lengthy that I'm starting to feel like I've seen everything the movie has to offer. It is for this reason that I have abstained from watching this latest…
Over the weekend, a teaser teaser was released to announce that the first trailer for 'Iron Man 3' will hit tomorrow. It was so short and uneventful that it barely registered as marketing, but that does not mean we aren't counting down the hours until we can officially close the book on Monday and see that trailer. In the meantime, the a brand new poster for the film has been released as well as several…
For once, the actual author of the story set out to make his version of the story on film the definitive one! Not only that but Chbosky manages to convince anyone that his version of the story and its characters in this film should be the only version to be made. It's one of those rare films that…
In this instalment of the popular Braingasm Reviews series, Ben is joined by Andrew Robinson (@gmanreviews) and Vincent Rivano (@theshiny1) to discus the newest film by director Rian Johnson (Brick, Brothers Bloom, that episode of Breaking Bad where they're trying to kill the fly) Looper. They broke the discussion down into a spoiler free and spoiler zone to give you guys the best of both worlds.
Recently, the web was abuzz at the rumor that Warner Brothers was toying with the idea of hiring Ben Affleck to direct their massive Justice League movie. While this was a long shot in many, many ways, it…
