New on video store shelves and up for extensive discussion in this episode is...

• Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994) and Jackie Brown (1997) on Blu-ray - Both films making their debut on blu-ray, with Pulp Fiction getting a little extra love in the form of newly produced special features: New Interviews with the Cast and a Critic's Retrospective on the Movie's Place in Film History with Elvis Mitchel and Scott Foundas.
• The Honeymooners: Lost Episodes 1951-1957 - The Complete Restored Series on DVD - A 15-disc set running more than 3,000 minutes. It's everything a Honeymooner's fan could want. Really. There's 30 sketches in the set that have never been on DVD, 18 of which haven't been seen since they originally aired in the 1950s. It's $139.00, but all sorts of goodness.
• Poltergeist II (1986) on Blu-ray - John recalls the horrors of that "attack of the braces" scene. "A dental nightmare."
• Hero's Island (1961) on DVD - From the MGM Limited Edition Collection, starring James Mason and a young Harry Dean Stanton.
• Irvin Kirshner's Robocop 2 (1990) on Blu-ray - Featuring all those pre-CGI go-motion effects by the wizardly Phil Tippet.
• Manhunter (1986) on Blu-ray - Starring a young Stephen Lang (Avatar and Terra Nova) and featuring another psycho bad guy performance by Tom Noonan (Robocop 2)
• Vidal Sassoon: The Movie (2011) on DVD and Blu-ray - Who would have thought we'd enjoy this film? You've got to love the way Mr. Sassoon did Mia Farrow's hair for Rosemary's Baby, and this doc shows you how that transpired.
• Ken Burn's and Lynn Novick's Prohibition on DVD and Blu-ray - I'm 4-hours into this 6-hour doc (a 3-disc blu-ray set). Where did the time go?
• Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill (1980) on Blu-ray - a film that must be seen again to be appreciated. This new Blu-ray offers some nice special features, including The Making of Dressed to Kill and An Appreciation by Keith Gordon Featurette, which is rather insightful.

Click on the playback links and enjoy that show!

Shawn Levy's 'Real Steel' and George Clooney's 'The Ides of March' get the full-on review treatment.

Also on tap ...

- I recommend 'Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone,' which is now playing in New York and L.A.

Inspired by an obnoxious "texter," Steve Head and John Black discuss what should be done to stop cell phone users during movies, and the protocol for booting these selfish, incosiderate jerks (particularly texters!) from a theater. We're at our wit's end. These people must go.

Also up for discussion is the film opening opposite Mr. Potter's, Winnie the Pooh.

Can't say we didn't warn you. But then, we all know what to expect from Michael Bay, right? So John and I endured the mega-mechanical CGI onslaught of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. All 156 minutes of it. Do we really have to explain why this is such a giant chunk of Hasbro-mash, you might ask? Sure, the movie is critic proof, but it's our job. And we will not shy away from it. We might cower and squirm in pain.Beyond that, the energizing act of eviscerating a movie is fun, and Michael Bay is an easy target. This is a pretty much a giant turkey shoot.

We did however enjoy Larry Crowne, which Tom Hanks wrote, produced, directed and stars in. It's a wonderful character-driven film, with Julia Roberts delivering her best performance in years. Do see it.

For our picks of the week, John says White Lightnin', starring Edward Hogg and Carrie Fisher, is worth a look. And we both agree the Criterion Collection's release of Kiss Me Deadly (1955) is truly a must see.

We recorded this episode outdoors, sitting on a bench in Boston Common - where there happened to be some sort of Anime festival taking place; a lot of college students dressed as anime characters. And they cheered from time to time. So... our apologies for any obtrusive and/or amusing background noises. Stuff happens on the Common, you know?

Joining John Black and Steve Head this week is film critic Greg Vellante. Greg writes for the Eagle Tribune, a New England daily. And you can find all of his reviews at GregVellante.com. This week they lament Pixar's dive into cold commercialism with Cars 2. Sure, Cars was Pixar's arguably least well received film. And, at least by Pixar's standards, it did alright at the box office. But the real money here is in its merchandising. It's billions, people. Billions. We also discuss the new Cameron Diaz comedy Bad Teacher. To enjoy it, we needed to willingly suspend our disbelief. But that didn't happen. We did, however, enjoy the new Pixar short Toy Story: Hawaiian Vacation, which plays before Cars 2.

For our picks of the week, John and Steve recommend the documentary American: The Bill Hicks Story, Steve can't say enough about the comedy Cedar Rapids, and Greg says you definitely have to check out Louie: Season One.

They also attempt to figure out Terrence Malick's Palme d'Or winner The Tree of Life, which is now playing at The Coolidge Corner Theater and Kendal Square.

For our Picks of the Week, Steve explain why United Artists' Harry in Your Pocket (1973), starring James Coburn and Michael Sarrazin, is worth checking out. And John recommends Kino International's release of five new films from documentarian Nicolas Philibert, including Louvre City (1990), In the Land of the Deaf (1992), and Every Little Thing (1997).

It's all X-Men this week, as Bob Chipman (a.k.a. MovieBob and The Game Overthinker, and contributor to Escapist Magazine) joins John and me to discuss director Matthew Vaughn's excursion into the world of Marvel: X-Men: First Class. So many characters. So many mini-plot-lines. It seemed a recipe for a $160-million dollar mess. But... well... things ain't so messy. Turns out this darn X-Men prequel is perhaps the best of the lot. This we attempt to explain in 54 minutes.

For our picks of the week, John and I both admit our amazement for Fumihiko Sori's TO, the newly released Blu-ray/DVD anime set from Funimation. As for a couple more new titles, I say you've gotta check out director Leslie Zemeki's documentary about the history of burlesque in America,  Behind the Burly Q; John says the Sofia Loren Award Collection 4-disc set is an absolute Must See, in particular, her 1964 film Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow; and Bob says the Nicolas Cage actioner Drive Angry is all the over-the-top goodness it was intended to be.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On hand again to help Steve Head and John Black consider the merits of Zach Snyder's Sucker Punch is Bob Chipman, a.k.a. MovieBob and The Game Overthinker, and contributor to Escapist Magazine.  They go to town on Sucker Punch with a 70-minute episode in which they agree, disagree, laugh, cry, chide, and fall in love all over again.

For picks of the week, they discuss the films of Andy Sidaris, as featured in Mill Creek Entertainment's new 12-movie set Girls, Guns and G-strings. And then Warner Bros.' newly announced Blu-ray edition of Brian DiPalma's Scarface takes center stage.

Spoiler Alert: In the discussion of Sucker Punch, spoiler material abounds between 30:30 and 32:30.

Editors note: In the discussion of Scarface, the Debbie Harry song we can't recall is "Push Push."

This episode was recorded at Panera Bread, next to the Regal Fenway 13 Theater in Boston. So as always, the conversation is spurred by coffee, muffins and sandwiches - which helps. And that's why there's the clickity-clacking of plates and silverware you're

Lately John and I have been favoring the "live" recording process (we go to a restaurant or coffee shop, find a table, set down the recorder and begin), in part because Skype can be, um ... kinda problematic. And eating and drinking while talking comes easy to us. So for the time being we're sticking with it. Live recording, that is. And eating and drinking, which I'm told is helpful.

Again this week we recorded the show at Panera Bread, next to the AMC Fenway 10 theater in Boston. The films discussed are Little Fockers, Gulliver's Travels and the Norweigan flick Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale.

Plus we offer our picks of the week. For me it's Cyrus, I'm Still Here and Troll 2 on Blu-ray. For John it's A&E's Billy the Exterminator: Season One.

The total running time is about 1 hour.

Also, we discuss the unspeakably disgusting: a horror (?) film from the Netherlands entitled The Human Centipede: The First Sequence, which is now playing in limited release; plus the new DVDs Crazy Heart, Hong Kong Godfather, and the Iraq war documentary Severe Clear.

This we recorded live at the Trident Booksellers & Cafe on Newbury Street in Boston.

You need the right fuel to meet the raging torrent of films that the Independent Film Festival offers and Steve and John place it all in perspective right off the bat with a review of the local coffee and how to work the festival system so you don't have to wait in long lines with a cold cup of the wrong brew in your hand.

In this show the guys review Teenage Paparazzo, a documentary about a 13 year old paparazzi, Lemmy a year in the life of Lemmy Kilmister, the founder of Motorhead and Life 2.0, which follows the real-world and virtual lives of people who are members of Second Life, the online world where you can choose to be anyone at all.

Steve and John meetup at the Diesel Cafe in Davis Square, Boston and discuss the movies they've see as of Day 2 of the Boston Independent Film Festival. These include short documentaries, Harmony and Me which is a Mumblecore film, War Don Don (see the earlier episosde for a for the interview with the director, Rebecca Richman Cohen), Cyrus and Drones.

John talks about Lemmy, the documentary about the founder of Motorhead that he is planning to see and will review in the next update. Steve is going to pass on Lemmy and see Life 2.0, the film about virtual world, Second Life, which is playing at the same time.

John and Steve talk about the films of the first day of the Independent Film Festival in Boston, including The Extra Man, Kevin Klines new film.

Q&A recorded opening night of the Independent Film Festival following the screening the Kevin Kline and director Robert Pulcini's movie, The Exra Man.

In this episode, Steve and John review The Losers, starring Jeffery Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana and Chris Evans, and Erasing David - a documentary by David Bond, which has its New England premiere this week at the Independent Film Festival of Boston 2010. http://www.iffboston.org
