Episode 103: Comic Conundrums and Questionable Sequels

Hello again to all of you awesome people!  No Theatrical Review this week since honestly there isn't all too much out right now. But we do have a Streaming Review along with a heaping helping of nerd news including: Bruce Campbell wanting to do an 'Expendables' of Horror movies, the Pixels trailer, Mallrats 2 announced, Batgirl and Joker controversy, a run down of Marvel's Secret Wars tie ins, Nintendo's mobile and next gen system plans, Kojima leaving Konami, and Bat's review of Infamous Second Son.

This weeks streaming review was Jack Ryan: Shaddow Recruit.  Both Bat and I enjoy the Jack Ryan series of movies, though we were surprised to find out there was only five of them made so far.  This movie is not bad by any means, not great but it is a fun spy thriller with some good action and decent performances by all involved.  If you are in the mood for a less action but higher concept spy movie give this one a shot.  We both rated it a 3 star on Netflix.


This weeks Streaming Review comes from listener and friend of the show Charles.  Boy Wonder is a movie that neither Bat nor I have ever heard of.  Check out the trailer below to see what you're in for this week.

Here's some links to the stuff we talked about on this weeks show.

The Pixels trailer looks shiny but Bat has pretty much put this one out to pasture due to Sandlers involvement.  I'm holding out a hope, be it a small one, that this movie could be fun.

Also if you wanted to get a full run down on all of the Marvel Secret War's tie ins you can check out this awesome IGN article that gives the low down on all of them.

Free Shit, Good Shit:

This awesome PC/Android Humblebundle brings us an awesome deal on some great games for both platforms.  My picks for this bundle have to be Costume Quest (a personal favorite of mine) and Ironclad Tactics.  Both of those games along with more (and more to come in a few days) can be yours for a little over 5$.
