From there we dive into some preview reviews. Our first trailer we look at is a prohibition period piece starring Shia LeBeouf and Tom Hardy as bootlegging brothers in Lawless. After that we discuss our first look at the quasi-sequel to Knocked Up called This is 40 starring Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd.

From there we have few quickies to update you on as well as our weekend preview which really only deals with the one movie you should be seeing- The Avengers.

GeekScholars Movie NewsThis week on GeekScholars Movie News, presented by Eclipse Magazine, we our latest installment of the Casting Competition Challenge where we attempt to tackle the classic, Back to the Future. Who would you cast as Marty, Doc, and Lorainne in the modern era, hmm?

After that we’ve got a duo of preview reviews. First, we were all suprisingly impressed at the trailer for comedic Magic Mike about the world of male exotic dancing. Then listen to the complete lack of consensus as we analyze the preview for David Cronenberg’s latest warped tale, Cosmopolis.

As always we close out with some fun quickies making the rounds as well as our weekend preview.

Enjoy the goodness right here:

Geek Scholars PodcastThis week on GeekScholars Movie News, presented by Eclipse Magazine, we jump into the probability that Sir Ben Kinglsey will be playing the villain in Iron Man 3…but who?

Then listen to us share our optimism after view the preview forLooper, a sci-fi time-travel actioneer starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as, well, a younger Bruce Willis.

After that, the GeekScholars present their non-spoilerific review of The Cabin in the Woods, and GeekScholar Chris flies solo as he praises Guy Pearce’s performance inLockout, but bashes on pretty much every other aspect of the movie. Then, as always, we close out with some quickies…

But! If you are a listener who heeded our advice and DID see The Cabin in the Woods, first off, we are very proud of you, but secondly, we encourage you to hang out after the credits to listen to our after-show bonus discussion where geek out about The Cabin in the Woodsa bit more, but with tons of spoilers dotting the conversation.

Listen to the glory!

Posted by   on April 10, 2012

in EM Podcast,GeekScholars,Movies

Geek Scholars PodcastThis week on GeekScholars Movie News, presented by Eclipse Magazine, we kick things off by talking a little bit about modern movie marketing. It seems as if there’s a TON of it with the explosion of online videos. Is it too much? Listen to our thoughts and weigh in with yours as well!

After that, listen as we quickly run through a whole bunch of interesting headlines including new tidbits about Catching Fire, Grace of Monaco, a Hank Aaron biopic, the future of The Avengers franchise and more!

From there, we dive into two preview reviews. First, we take a look at the first trailer for the reboot of Total Recall, and then we greet Woody Allen’s next flick, To Rome with Love with a healthy dose of skepticism.

 

Well, what are you waiting for?! You know you wanna listen ;). Here, I’ll make it easy for you:

Eclipse Magazine presents GeekScholars Movie News Podcast – Episode 8! TVs to Movies; Dark Shadows; 21 Jump Street!

Posted by   on March 20, 2012

in EM Podcast,GeekScholars,Movie News,Movie Reviews,Movie Trailers,Movies

Geek Scholars PodcastHappy Tuesday from GeekScholars Movie News, presented by Eclipse Magazine. We have a great show for you this week. Since we’ll be covering reviews of both the trailer for Dark Shadows, as well as our thoughts on the new 21 Jump Street movie, we thought it would be appropriate to start the show off by discussing what televisions we think should be made into feature films.

So give the show a listen and let us know what you think! Do you agree with our picks? Do you have some other suggestions? We then close things out, as always, with a whole boatload of quickies, including updates on a variety of fun projects in the works.

Listen here!

Eclipse Magazine presents GeekScholars Movie News Podcast – Episode 7! The Bechdel Test, Action No. 1, Venom and a review of John Carter!

Posted by   on March 14, 2012

in EM Podcast,GeekScholars,Movie News,Movie Reviews,Movies

Geek Scholars PodcastIt’s our 30th anniversary here at GeekScholars Movie News! Well, not 30 years, but 30 awesome episodes, and we have a fantastic show for you to celebrate. Really, it’s awesome.

We kick things off with a discussion of the The Bechdel Test- What is it, how is it relevant, and why is it important. In a nutshell, The Bechdel Test is a quick, if not quirky way, to identify gender bias in movie roles, in terms of quantity and quality. It’s a great discussion you’ll want to listen in (and send us your thoughts on as well!)

After that, we weigh in on a hilarious premise- the true story of Nicholas Cage’s favorite rare Superman comic-book being stolen from him. The team behind Reno 911 have written a script on this one event and turned it into an epic comedy we all hope makes it to the big screen.

Next, we address the rumors that a film focusing on Spider-Man villain, Venom, may not be all that far off, with Josh Trank of Chronicle fame eying the director’s chair.

Finally, GeekScholars Fox and Chris weigh in on John Carter and themselves befuddled by the lack of love for it from their fellow critics.

This is a fantastic episode, not to be missed! Listen here!
