Join TJ and Joseph for a conversation on the upcoming ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ and ‘Man of Steel’ trailers coming out with ‘The Hobbit’ - TJ is more excited about the ‘Star Trek’ trailer and Joseph is more excited about the ‘Man of Steel’ trailer - which leads to a discussion of ‘Production Video #9’ of the insane production schedule and things going on behind the scenes with ‘The Hobbit, then they turn their attention to Blockbuster getting in the magazine business, Miley Cyrus’ stupid looking ‘So Undercover’ trailer, Matthew Vaughn sort of confirmed for ‘Star Wars VII’, giveaway opportunities, and then the two main film topics, ‘Red Dawn’ and ‘Life of Pi’. TJ doesn’t like ‘Red Dawn’ very much and Joseph has mixed feelings about ‘Life of Pi’. Be sure to leave a review, along with a 4 or 5 star rating of the podcast on iTunes for a chance to win a Blu-ray copy of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’.

TJ and Joseph are joined this week by special guest Linsay Morgan to discuss ‘Twlight: Breaking Dawn Part II’. Lots of fun discussion about what is good and what is bad about the series, how bad Stephanie Meyer’s writing is, which films have been better and which have been worse (there is much disagreement on this topic), which film had better music (again, disagreement), the male versus female perspective on the series, the difference in Meyer’s vampire mythos versus normal vampire mythos and more. Then TJ and Joseph discuss Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’. It is difficult not to discuss political views with a film like this but TJ and Joseph make a grand attempt to relate their views but be open and not offend too many people. All in all they determine that ‘Lincoln’ was a well made film but suffers from some historical revisionism. They also briefly discuss (or they try to keep it brief) Corey Poff’s MovieByte review of ‘The Amazing Spider-man’, and the ‘Now You See Me’ trailer.

This week, TJ gives you the wrap up on ‘Skyfall’ making a killing at the box office, Siri’s strange movie reviews, LEGO making a movie and casting Liam Neeson, the ‘Warm Bodies’ trailer, the idea that Darth Vader may rise from the dead in ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’, Christian Bale’s Stand for life, an original Netflix drama, ‘House of Cards’, a political drama, the trailer for the upcoming film based on Stephanie Meyer’s book ‘The Host’, ‘The Hobbit’ streaming soundtrack, Episode 18 of ‘The MovieByte Podcast’, ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ Season 2 remastered Blu-ray images, the Boxee CEO’s comments about streaming and on-demand media, and the debut of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ first nine minutes debuting in IMAX in front of ‘The Hobbit’. Lots of fun stuff, be sure to tune in!

TJ and Joseph before and after ‘The MovieByte Podcast’ episode 18. They do exciting stuff like check mics and set levels, they talk about general show prep and how TJ has not yet written his ‘Skyfall’ review, how they feel like they are going to be a bit of a wet blanket when it comes to ‘Skyfall’ and that they don’t get the ‘Skyfall’ hype, they talk ‘The Host’, ‘House of Cards’ and ‘Arrested Development’, original content on Netflix, they watch the trailer for ‘The Host’, they discuss Lindsay Morgan guesting on the next episode, more Bond talk, and more.

TJ and Joseph discuss ‘The Host’ and the new trailer for the upcoming feature film based on Stephanie Meyer’s first post-Twilight book, the idea that Darth Vader might come back for ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’, Michael Arndt writing ‘Star Wars VII’, ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ newest trailer, ‘Arrested Development’ being picked up by streaming video service Netflix as well as an original show, ‘House of Cards’, and they spend some time talking about how the industry can move forward and move toward a more on-demand model. Then they get down to the main topic, ‘Skyfall’. Neither TJ nor Joseph were quite as blown away by this film as the rest of the world seems to be and they discuss why that is and why everyone else may like it so much, and why it was after all a decent film. They discuss likes, dislikes, what they would have liked to see different and more.
