This Week: Kevin starts off with some over-blown news about Quentin Tarantino directing Star Trek and who the new 007 is in Bond 25. Then he looks at new trailers for Top Gun: Maverick and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Next, he reviews the films The Lion King, The Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz and Day of the Dead. Finally, he finishes up talking about some box office and the Home-Cinema Round-Up featuring Space 1999: The Complete Series and Shazam!
OSNAP: Munchkins Galore Will Kill Themselves
This week, Kevin goes off on a couple old rants that old Idiot Boxers might remember. He rages about overly-self-important local news programming and how it affects his watching of his favorite shows. Questions about how fire in Kansas City, Missouri, impacts people in Columbus, Ohio, are raised, as well as why double-letterboxing is never okay. There’s other hot topics discussed, including a final judgement on the mysterious Munchkin death in The Wizard of Oz. Kevin also talk about being sent DVDs by listeners and what messages they might also send. Finally, things wind up with a crazy-ass Gawker news story about pit bull sex and possible drug use. Oh, snap!

This Week: Kevin and Kristin rattle through a whole bunch of movie news, including confirmed actors in the new Star Wars movie, the potential involvement of Christopher Nolan in The Justice League and James Bond, plus a listener question about The Guardians of the Galaxy. This leaves scant time for movie reviews, which is a good thing since neither had a chance to see Dead Man Down or Emperor. Though they do have a chance to thoroughly discuss Oz the Great and Powerful and how guys still try to get laid in magical lands. Finally, they tear through some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before riding off into the sunset.
