It’s the “Brian and Steve on 3 hours sleep” edition of The Film Cynics with a great one-sided argument for why Mad Men is a show best left unwatched. We also close the circle on the Red Riding trilogy and talk about an ambitious new project from Ron Howard.
- Steve was over in Vancouver this weekend, and it only made sense for them to go check out Scott Pilgrim vs. The World for a second time. Did it stand up to a second viewing? Also, we build up the best reasons we can for avoiding Mad Men – thank goodness nobody ever calls in to challenge our opinions.
- Steve shares his list of the Top 5 Romantic Comedies in his collection – all the while maintaining his macho manliness.
- We wrap up our series of reviews of the Red Riding trilogy with Red Riding 1983. Does the trilogy end on a high note, or just leave us hanging?
- After a recent announcement for a new project for Ron Howard, there’s suddenly a lot to get excited about around a little Stephen King series called The Dark Tower. How ambitious is this project and what might it mean if they pull it off?
- We’ve got no trailers this week as the promotional drought continues, but for our Vault picks, Brian’s got Eastbound and Down and Steve’s got Red Dwarf – some great TV watching on both accounts.
