With nothing on our DVD slate this week, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag including organizing Steve’s movie collection and measuring the summer’s mercenary flicks against each other.
- Brian is fresh from seeing The Expendables, so we take some time to see how it measures up against the other mercenary films of the summer. Apparently, casting isn’t everything.
- With Steve’s DVD collection pushing the 530 mark, he’s reaching out for help and advice on how to organize everything. Alphabetical? Chronological? Autobiographical? Emotional? What kind of order should they go in?
- Brian’s shares his top 5 favourite sketch comedy shows. Be ready for some show you’ve never heard of, and also be prepared for Monty Python to not be on this list.
- Brian is tickled pink that Burn Notice is finally making it’s way to Canadian airwaves. Don’t know what Burn Notice is? Brian can explain it for you. He’s also got his impressions on The Good Guys – apparently the news is good.
- Man on Wire and Unbreakable are broken out of the Vault, and then there’s just enough time for the trailers for Black Swan and I’m Still Here.
Thanks for tuning in, your feedback is always appreciated.

Listened to this episode as I try to put my TIFF schedule together – great work gents!
As Steve mentioned, I’m quite partial to the chronological dvd organizing, but ya gotta have backbone for that and not be one to cave to the peer pressure of those who can’t figure out what’s where. Likewise – as y’all mentioned – ya gotta be able to stomach movie series being broken up (SPIDER-MAN and SPIDER-MAN 2 for instance end up on different shelves!).
Also must echo the love for UNBREAKABLE – could well be Night’s finest film. Truly wish he’d go back to making those.
‘Twas a fun and breezy episode boys…keep ‘em coming!
Thanks Hatter! As a way of showing my gratitude to a wife who has turned a blind eye to my DVD addiction, the least I can do is keep the collection searchable. (So yes, my wife’s and my DVDs have mingled.) And besides, I didn’t gather up all the Batman movies just to spead them out on 4 or 5 different shelves. No way. It’s sounding more and more like there are no easy answers here…
Perhaps if M. Night sticks to writing and producing movies (well, at least producing) he’ll be able to keep everyone happy.
