Wrap up the week with TJ as he breaks down last weekend’s Box Office stats, talks about the nightmare that broadcast TV may be headed for and why he thinks the model needs to change, the trailer for ‘RED2’ and why that film might be a good film, clips, goodies and analysis for ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ that you won’t want to miss as ‘Into Darkness’ promises to be one of the big films this year, the Instacast for Mac Public Beta and how exciting that is, the last Reel-To-Reel at a particular theater and the changing of the guard that represents, a mom watches and relates the story of ‘The Matrix’, the ‘White House Down’ trailer, a review of ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’, a recommendation to catch the latest episode of ‘The MovieByte Podcast’ with special guest Dan Benjamin of 5by5, and what you might want to see in theaters this weekend.

TJ and Joe are pleased to welcome to the show special guest Dan Benjamin of 5by5! Dan is a prolific broadcaster and maker of fine podcasts, he has opinions on many things, and movies are one of them. They spend just a few minutes talking about podcasts and mixers, mice and the like. Then they kick things off with a quick discussion about Instacast for Mac Public Beta. And on to film news with J.J. Abrams saying John Williams is likely to score ‘Star Wars VII’, as well as Carrie Fisher and Ian McDiarmid talking about the upcoming ‘Star Wars’ film with McDiarmid being pretty sure Palpatine won’t be returning (no, really?). They also spend a few minutes talking about online media consumption versus broadcast TV, some thoughts about J.J. Abrams version of Star Trek, and a minute or two on ‘Pacific Rim’. And of course, the main review for this week is ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’ which leads to some great discussion. You won’t want to miss it!

TJ takes a look back at the weekend box office report with ‘Oblivion’ topping the list, and deservedly so. Next up a video highlighting M83’s ‘Oblivion’ title track. Then there was a review on RogerEbert.com sucking the life out of ‘Oblivion’, and Joe has an article taking it down a notch. A ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot is in the works, which annoys and irritates TJ. ‘Thor 2’ has a teaser out and about. There is a rumor of an ‘Avengers 2’ teaser attached to screenings of ‘Iron Man 3’, which doesn’t make a lot of sense to TJ. TJ wrote an ‘Oblivion’ review this week. Netflix is now bigger than HBO, John Harrison has some video messages for us in Paramount’s viral marketing campaign. Regal and Cinemark are having a disagreement with Disney. Joss Whedon is talking about ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ and ‘Avengers 2’. Gwyneth Paltrow thinks this is the end of the line for ‘Iron Man’. And finally, what you might like to see in theaters this weekend.
