  1. Hi Jack,

    Benjamin Button might receive praise from critics, but I have zero interest in ever seeing it. It’s just not my kind of movie. I think the same goes for Greg.

    I didn’t See Zodiac, but might rent it based on your recommendation. Thanks! Have you ever seen Heavy Metal? If so, what did you think?

    Someone posted a good comment on the blog entry you linked to: the Amish aren’t allowed to have their pictures taken! The whole heater thing is one giant scam.

  2. Zodiac (2007) was good, although I liked the “other” Zodiac film, titled The Zodiac (2006) better. It was done with a much lower budget, and centered more on the investigators than the killer so much.

    I think I’ve said on the show before, that I like Brad Pitt as an actor, as do I Cate Blanchett. However, the premise of the movie is so idiotic I can’t give it credence.

  3. i’m so jealous about you seeing ‘raiders of the lost ark’ from a vintage print and on a big screen. this episode has one of my favourite audio easter eggs: greg’s reaction to ‘snowglobe’ – ‘…wer wer WHAT?!’…

  4. David, when Rob “reviews” one of these nonsensical movies, I purposely don’t watch them after the fact. Because I know he’s totally full of it, and I don’t want to spoil the gag for myself.

  5. I admit, once in a while I exaggerate a movie in my reviews. But that’s only once in a while. Most of the time (including this time), I’m completely honest! These movies I see really are that insane and bad.

    Get ready because I’m going to review Rob Lowe’s Lifetime Drew Peterson movie Untouchable the next time we record. It’s chock full of unintentional hilarity.
