Steve Head and John Black discuss the (sort of but not really) new comedy The Hangover Part II, and Woody Allen's likeable farce Midnight in Paris.

For our Picks of the Week, John says the new David Byrne rockumentary Ride, Rise, Roar is worth your time. And they both agree that Jason Robard's 1965 film, and Best Picture nominee, A Thousand Clowns is a nice find among MGM's new online-only retail offerings. John also recommends David Niven's 1975 flick Old Dracula.

This episode was recorded at Panera Bread across the street from the Coolidge Corner Theater. As always, we tried to find a quiet spot to record. Our apologies for any obtrusive background noise.

Much to our surprise, the ever-dependable John Black couldn't make this recording session. Fortunately, film critic Sean Burns (The Improper Bostonian and Philadelphia Weekly) valiantly stepped-up to fill in. And so our Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas episode lives!  Terry Gilliam's 1998 adaption of Hunter S. Thompson's "failed experiment in Gonzo journalism" was recently upgraded to Blu-ray by Criterion. And we go on and on about it as, you know, fans do.

Plus we discuss Kelly Reichardt's Meek’s Cutoff - a film we agree needs more love at the box office.  Do see it if you can.

Bob Chipman (a.k.a. MovieBob and The Game Overthinker, and contributor to Escapist Magazine) joins film critics John Black and Steve Head again this week to discuss the new Walt Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer box office pillager Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Amid this episodes' 107-minutes, wrath and bewilderment ensue.

John, Bob and Steve also discuss director Céline Danhier's documentary Blank City, which is now playing at Kendal Square, and the latest release from The Asylum, The Almighty Thor. Plus our picks of the week, including the new 50th Anniversary blu-ray release of Robert Rossen's The Hustler (1961) starring Paul Newman.

Joining John Black and Steve Head this week is Meg Quinn, film critic with Gatehouse Media's Ipswich Chronicle. We discuss all the goodness that is Bridesmaids, the latest product from the Judd Apatow factory. And, I must say, one of his best films to date. (Thank you, Ms Wiig.)

Also in this episode, we talk about the new film Hesher, starring Joseph Gordon-Leavitt, and Everything Must Go, starring Will Farrell. Meg and I aren't so keen on Everthing Must Go, but John explains why the movie is "well worth seeing, especially if you had any addictions."

And for our picks of the week, we can't say enough good things about Jonathan Demme's Something Wild (1986) And we can only say a couple good things, if that, about Richard Lester's How I Won the War (1967) co-starring John Lennon.

We recorded this episode at Panera Bread in Brookline, Ma, located directly across the street from the Coolidge Corner theater. As always, We tried to find a quite spot to record. Our apologies for any obrusive background noise.

Joining film critics John Black and Steve Head is Bob Chipman, a.k.a. MovieBob and the Game Overthinker, and contributor to Escapist Magazine. Our critical concern is Thor, Thor and nothing but Thor. So prepare to be Thor'd.

We recorded this episode outdoors, sitting in the bleachers alongside a softball diamond in Boston Common, immediately after seeing Thor.
