This week we take a look at a recent summer film release with The Expendables. We also look at a downloadable game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. We also look at a BBC show, Sherlock. And we close things out with a look back at last weekend’s Toronto Fan Expo.
The Expendables (01:30 – 17:23)
As the summer movie season winds down we have only a few big blockbuster entries left. With The Expendables, Sylvester Stallone has assembled a who’s who of big time action stars for his tale of a team of mercenaries. Listen to our review to see if it’s living up to all the hype.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game (17:35 – 24:30)
Kevin brings us a video game release based on another recent film and comic series, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. With a similar art style to the comic books, the game is a side-scroller that lets you guide Scott as he battles the 7 evil ex-boyfriends of Romona Flowers. Developed by Ubisoft, the game is available for download on the PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Arcade.
Sherlock (25:00 – 46:39)
We recently discovered this import from the BBC starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson. There are currently only three 90 min episodes but there are plans to release more in the fall of 2011. Check out our review to see if this a series worth your time.
Toronto Fan Expo recap (46:56 – 51:25)
Bill had a chance to check out the 3 day Toronto Fan Expo happening last weekend in, uhh, Toronto. He gives us the lowdown on some of the panels he checked out along with other sights of the expo.
This week on the show we look at a new game for the Xbox 360 recently ported over from the PC from developer Frogwares, Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper. We also look at the first three issues of a new comic series written by Kevin Smith and published by Dynamite Entertainment, The Green Hornet.

Time again for another episode of the podcast. This week we look at a couple of demos on the Xbox 360, one the holiday’s big blockbuster movies and a new TV show from Fox.
Sherlock Holmes (01:24 – 22:55)
Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond demo (23:02 – 32:45)
We just mentioned this on the podcast a couple of weeks back and now a new trailer has launched today. I’m honestly not sure what to make of this. On one hand it does look good but on the other, I’m not convinced fast action and explosions are what naturally come to mind when I think of Sherlock Holmes. I do know Mark Strong was awesome in RocknRolla so I’m definitely interested to see what he brings to the table.
The Road
The Road is based on Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel. I haven’t had a chance to read the book yet but I hear its great. And last I checked, they don’t often hand Pulitzers out to shitty books. This certainly has a great cast so I’m looking forward to it.
Ghostbusters
It seems like I’ve been hearing about this game forever and its finally due to come out next month. This looks like it could be promising and I think this could work really well on the Wii.
We’re back again for another episode. The summer movie season officially kicked off this past weekend and we got all the goods starting with Wolverine. Is it the start to a great summer of movies or does it fall completely flat?

and some thoughts on the upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie
In rewatching the trailer for Wolverine, I noticed something that I didn’t catch in the movie. It looks like there’s a young Storm that makes a cameo. Did anyone actually see her in the movie itself or was it cut? Leave your thoughts and feedback in the comments.
