This is it. Finally! At long last!

The new year has been a bit crazy, but we have drawn a name and chosen a winner for our HD TV giveaway. But we aren’t going to announce it right at this moment. We like our drama. We have that flare for the dramatic you know.

We will be unveiling the winner tonight, live on the podcast. And yes, we are devious enough that we will make you wait until nearly the end of the episode because we want you to listen to the whole thing! You just never know what time that might be so you’ll have to hear us talk about Django Unchained. But that’s alright, we…

Only three more episodes left. Episode 11 of Season 5 is coming this Friday.

Next Friday, we get a double hitter with the final two episodes. It’s sad but true. But it will definitely be fun to see how they tie it all up.

Here’s the promo from this Friday.

And Tarantino is on “Best Director” list.

This week is so awards-heavy that the British Academy Of Film And Television Arts (or BAFTA, to their mum) had to squeeze their announcement in at 7.30 GMT, a time when it’s dark in the U.K, New York and Los Angeles. And while BAFTA can often back British fare over the films that have otherwise dominated the awards conversation, this year saw them stick fairly closely to the awards narrative in general, with “Skyfall,” “Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” and “Anna Karenina” all failing to sweep the board in the way that some had suggested (though all…

Hulu’s original programming returns later this summer with our first animated Hulu Original Series “The Awesomes,” co-created by Saturday Night Live’s head writer Seth Meyers and Emmy-winning producer and SNL alum Michael Shoemaker (“Late Night with Jimmy Fallon“). In our second co-production with BBC via BBC Worldwide Americas, Hulu will also present “The Wrong Mans,” a comedic thriller created by and starring Tony Award-winner James Corden (“Gavin and Stacey”) and Mathew Baynton (“Spy“), directed and produced by Jim Field Smith (“Episodes”). We will also debut docu-series “Behind the…

J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot has become one of Hollywood’s hottest production companies in a relatively short time. From TV hits (Revolution, Person of Interest, LOST) to blockbuster films (Mission Impossible—Ghost Protocol, Super 8, Star Trek), the award-winning company is known for creating compelling, thought-provoking stories. 

How do they do it? 

Join host Matt Feury, pro video marketing manager at Avid, and the editorial, audio, and VFX teams at Bad Robot for a discussion on the innovative workflows the teams created to help them commandeer the story and action at warp speed for…

Most expected this to happen. But it’s never real until it’s real. And now it’s real.

Fox is bringing back its longest-running drama for a ninth season.

Bones will be return for another round, the network announced Tuesday. “After more than 150 episodes, Bones continues to be one of television’s most dynamic and consistent dramas,” said Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly. “We at Fox, along with millions of zealous fans, look forward to seeing where the incredible creative team takes the series next season.”

Well that’s annoying. This show is WAY past it’s prime, and very…

Though it suffers from tonal inconsistency and a lack of insightful retrospection, Hitchcock is elevated by nigh-to-inspired performances from its distinguished cast.

Hitchcock is unique to me because it was the first film in theaters that TJ and I saw together. ¹ Hardly what we would’ve picked for the occasion, it surprised us both to be more-or-less an entertaining portrayal of Hitchcock’s life and times during the production of the classic horror film Psycho. Since I know a lot of Hitchcock films by heart, and TJ hadn’t taken the time to watch any besides the original Psycho, this…

Not only do you get to listen to us talk about the film right on the spot as it happens, but there’s a chat room for you to interact with us and other listeners and it’s a lot of fun. When applicable, possible, and appropriate Joseph and I will interact with you there. It’s a great way to bring up points, pose questions and the like.

And of course, if you need something to listen to throughout the…
