Law and Moreno open a few emails which leads to discussion of MAN OF STEEL vs. THE AVENGERS, and the fact that PACIFIC RIM is still our most anticipated film of the year.

There's a quick look at what's coming out next week in New Releases and then it's time to say good-bye. This will be Law and Moreno's last JoBlo Movie Podcast.

Until then...... see ya!

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Game of Thrones: Book vs. Screen, The Croods, Voicemail Attack!

There's a lot going on in this week's show. Some good, same bad, most of it I've already forgotten. Moreno get serious about his love of the Game of Thrones books and explains to us why the hardcore fans of the pages are getting a little pissed with the TV show. The boys take some voicemails where they are handed reviews for OBLIVION and LORDS OF SALEM, asked for their take on the ridiculous price of movie-going, and consider this month's Podcast Movie Commentary. Law watches a bunch of random awful movies (JACK & JILL, THE SITTER), revisits a couple great ones (STEP BROTHERS, ROLE MODELS), tries to act like he knows stuff about CLOUD ATLAS (he doesn't), and comments on the evolution of douchebaggery in Dane Cook's stand up specials.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Your 2013 Hottie Champion! Early Word on Iron Man 3 & Oldboy! Tons of reviews!

There's a lot of passion in this week's show. Whether it's Moreno drooling over what's to come on 'Game of Thrones' or Law losing his mind over the incredible ending to the HARRY POTTER franchise. There's also early looks at IRON MAN 3 and OLDBOY from fans of the site, reviews of THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE, MEN IN SUITS, 'Top of the Lake', 'In the Flesh', and, of course, the 2013 March Madness of Hotties Champion. Like I said, it's jam packed with passionate love. And gin.

Damn Goldblum, you sexy!

After a quick summary of what we consider an "adequate" Oscar ceremony, Law and Moreno jump into TV Round-Up and try to find the light at the end of The Walking Dead's tunnel. Soon after that is an epic look at the original Rambo trilogy. From the film's titles to the impressive body and length of Rambo's hair, the boys leave nothing out. There's also a review of FREAKY DEAKY, based on the Elmore Leonard novel, and a quick visit to the New Releases of the week.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: The Top Gun Commentary!

What better way to celebrate Valentime's Month (it's a month now, right?) than to listen to The JoBlo Movie Podcast commentary for Top Gun! I mean, it's like a love story, right? We ponder a variety of ridiculous topics, such as: does the Air Force have a height requirement? Because Principal Strickland is short as fuck. Why doesn't Goose take his shirt off? Why do we WANT him to take his shirt off? And did you know Tim Robbins is up in this bitch? We're skeptical, since he has a helmet on the whole time. Come for the volleyball scene (heh, no really), stay for a drunken, nonsensical dissection of Tony Scott's 80s classic!

JoBlo Movie Podcast: The Walking Dead is Losing Us! Searching For Sugar Man & The Package Reviewed!

We sat down in the quiet before the Oscar storm and got drunk. This is what happened. Moreno watches SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN, BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD, and the de-gansterization of Ice Cube. Law checks out the evolving legend of Stone Cold Steve Austin in THE PACKAGE. Together, the boys try to figure out exactly why 'The Walking Dead' is trying to piss them off. Moreno finishes up with 'House of Cards', and Law is still on board with 'Banshee'. It's all fighting, f*cking, and full frontal - there's nothing not to love with this show. Stay tuned later this month for our TOP GUN Commentary. It's the gayest thing ever.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: The Walking Dead Returns! A Good Day to Die Hard Reviewed!

The great Jimmy O joins the boys to discuss his love/hate relationship with A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD, hosting the upcoming EVIL DEAD marathon in L.A., and how to lose one hundred pounds. The TV Round-Up fattens itself up again with the return of 'The Walking Dead' and the addition of 'Banshee'. Law and Moreno also talk 'House of Cards', ROOM 237, movies they used to hate and now love, Valentine's Day gifts, and cinematic urban legends.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Why Boba Fett Should Be the First Star Wars Spin-Off! The Master Reviewed!

TV Round-Up makes room for some more quality shows as Law and Moreno add 'House of Cards' and 'Legit' to the mix. There's also some interest in 'The King of The Nerds' (only because Lewis and Booger are involved) and continued support of 'Justified' and 'The Americans'. Law tries not to be intellectually bullied by THE MASTER and ends up finding his favorite performance of 2012. From there the boys take a look at New Releases and try to figure out who is excited for a new DIE HARD movie (it's not us or Bruce Willis) and, thanks to another voicemail, Law gets to make his case as to why the first STAR WARS spin-off movie should be about Boba Fett. Yoda, it shouldn't be.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Reviews of The Sessions, Stand Up Guys, Lincoln, Hitchcock, and More!

There's lots to talk about on the new JoBlo Movie Podcast so the boys get right down to it. TV Round-Up catches up with 'Justified' and adds 'The Americans' to the mix. What We Watched lets loose with reviews of THE SESSIONS, STAND UP GUYS, LINCOLN, HITCHCOCK, PITCH PERFECT, DREDD, FLIGHT, and THE HOBBIT. A quick look at what's coming out this week during New Releases and a fun little theory that lets us blame Steven Spielberg if the new STAR WARS movie suck a-holes. Don't forget to vote for our February Commentary - TOP GUN or TRUE ROMANCE? It's up to you. And thus it's your fault when it sucks.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: The Grey Commentary!

The JoBlo Movie Podcast returns with another commentary, this time for the movie that topped Moreno's best of 2012 list and made it to number 3 on Jim Law's (really 15 but whatevs), Joe Carnahan's THE GREY. The boys discuss what it'd be like to be stranded in the Alaskan wilderness (they'd kill themselves on the plane), the criticism it received for how the wolves behaved (when's the last time you hung out with a wolf, bitch?), and how THE GREY can be an all out dude movie with dude emotions without dumbing everyone down (except if you listen to this commentary). Which characters would Moreno and Law be in the movie? We describe the movie as very moody, but what the f*ck does that even mean? Does it cut itself? Come for the drunken commentary, stay for some of Moreno's douchey high school poetry. For real.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: The Best and Worst of Sundance! Reviews of Life of Pi, The Impossible, and Justified!

Chris Bumbray is back home after a week full of films and he's ready to share again. We get the best and worst from Sundance 2013. Who gets naked in SWEETWATER? Who's gonna sue the makers of ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW? What film has the the most blood ever? All these questions and more answered inside.

Chris Bumbray is three days deep into Sundance 2013 and already has seven reviews ready. He tells the boys all about MUD, DON JON'S ADDICTION, WHO IS DAYANI CRISTAL, and more. When CBum goes to bed, Moreno and Law bring back the Drunk Segment which has the boys discussing one of the stupider moments of GANGSTER SQUAD in a 40s piano bar. What We Watched delivers reviews of SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, THE LAST STAND, THIS IS 40, and Moreno's drunk WILLY WONKA sing-a-long. Listener voicemail treats us to a review of MAMA, another suggestion for Movie Jail, why Seth Macfarlane isn't gay, and the boys most anticipated film of 2013. New Releases, jibber-jabber, a couple more beers, and we're out.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Oscar Noms Talk, Reviews of Gangster Squad, Zero Dark, & John Dies at the End!

Law and Moreno kick things off with a discussion of the Oscar nominations and the fact that they haven't seen anything that matters to the Academy. Losers. They did, however, check out a bunch of stuff for your listening pleasure. Reviews come fast and furious as they take shots at GANGSTER SQUAD, ZERO DARK THIRTY, JOHN DIES AT THE END, FRANKENWEENIE, HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA, and PREMIUM RUSH. From there the boys contemplate Hollywood's most overrated actresses, get some updates on the thriving success of Movie Jail, and take a look at what's coming out this week in New Releases. Affleck, you were the bomb in ARGO, yo! Don't let anybody tell you different.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Our Favorite Films of 2012! The Hobbit & Flight Reviewed!

Last week was all about Jimmy O and Chris Bumbray's Best of the year lists, this week we get our say. Law and Moreno count down their respective Top Ten of 2012 lists and try to screw it up as little as possible. There's some late entries, some movies get shuffled around, and one film gets the boot. Otherwise it's pretty tight. Moreno then goes on to review THE HOBBIT while Law sits down with FLIGHT. Some New Releases, a couple burps and we're out. Welcome to the new 2013 JoBlo Movie Podcast. Our resolution was to quit drinking. Things didn't work out.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: The Avengers Commentary!

The JoBlo Movie Podcast rings in 2013 (F the Mayans) with a commentary for the highly anticipated and biggest grossing movie of 2012, Marvel's The Avengers. How does so much goodness get packed into one movie? How does Thor keep the balance of body and weight in his enviable hair? Is Scarlett Johannson going to take her shirt off or what? There's talk of which superhero we wanted to be when we grew up (and now), why the aliens at the end look like Orcs (not really), and how the "one shot" at the end could be one of the best sequences of the year.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Jimmy O vs. Chris Bumbray in the Battle of the Best Films of the Year!

Jimmy O and Chris Bumbray have been the leading film reviewers for JoBlo.com for years. They consider themselves friends and great colleagues but have never had the opportunity to actually sit down and speak to each other about movies. Now they have. Moreno and Law take a open the floor to the two Podcast regulars as they each give us the run-down on their own Top Ten Lists from 2012. There's yelling, there's cursing, there's bromance, and there sure as hell is a lot of secret piss breaks for Law and Moreno. Keep talking boys. Come join us for our end of the year celebration with two of our favorite guests, a few dozen beers, and more LES MISERABLES talk than you ever thought you could sit through. I left a couple times. Stay tuned later this week for our AVENGERS Commentary and stupid tweets @TheJoBloPodcast. Happy New Year, yo.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Pablo Schreiber & Common Join Us! Reviews of Django, Zero Dark Thirty, & The Hobbit!

Sometimes shows are just epic. Law and Moreno are joined by the great Eric Walkuski as he delivers his thoughts on THE HOBBIT, DJANGO UNCHAINED, and ZERO DARK THIRTY. Then 'The Wire' alum, Pablo Schreiber stops by to talk about his new film, ALLEGIANCE, audio books, and yes, The Wire. If that's not enough for you we get one of the smoothest men on the planet, Common, to join us to chat about his latest film, LUV. From there, what's left of the boys deliver their own reviews of CLOUD ATLAS (the greatest Johnny Moreno review ever), PUNCTURE, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, SLEEPWALK WITH ME, and BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD. Still not enough? How about a voicemail from Steven Seagal's mom (note: we are unclear on whether or not this is Steven Seagal's mom) scolding Jim Law on his interviwing capabilities and the raising of his children. We'll even throw in a hate filled voicemail review of THE BOURNE LEGACY, some minor TV Round-Up as we wait for the end of Homeland, and the highs and lows of Decembeard. Be sure to check out our pod-crash on the AITH show this Wednesday. Our children are ashamed of us.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: The first 9 minutes of Star Trek Into Darkness seen! Season finale round up! Voicemail Roll Call!

Better late than never, that's what my grandfather used to say. But he was late for his own funeral, so what the flying fuck did he know anyway? Moreno gives Law the week off so he could shove more beer in his face area, then goes solo on the epic season finale round up of Boardwalk Empire, Sons of Anarchy, and The Walking Dead. From there, the great Jimmy O stops by to talk about seeing the first 9 minutes of STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS and the boys get into a heated debate on the merits of Expendables 2 (there are none). New Releases and a voicemail roll call leaves us with questions on where Homeland is headed and why Killing Them Softly sucks so hard.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Killing Them Softly, Premium Rush & Sinister Reviewed! What We Don't Want in the New Star Wars Movies!

Law and Moreno start things off with some serious discussion about the future of superhero movies. Why would JGL be Batman? What other characters have to come back for the new X-MEN movie? From there Moreno visits the theater for KILLING THEM SOFTLY and re-visits JACKIE BROWN & BEVERLY HILLS COP. Both boys review SINISTER and the creepy creeps that came along with it. Law goes on to check out PREMIUM RUSH and HIT AND RUN. A great voicemail question leads to a discussion about what the guys don't want in the new STAR WARS movies. From there it's all New Releases and drunken slurs. Enjoy.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: They Live Commentary!

What better way to come down from the presidential election blues than by watching John Carpenter's look at shadow governments, sedation and obedience by consumerism, and Keith David in Lakers' colors. It's the 1987 cult classic THEY LIVE and we break this puppy down like Roddy Piper with a pickaxe. Seriously Roddy, why you gotta be all buff and manly and shit? Drink with us as we try to figure out if that old guy is "Red" from BACK TO THE FUTURED. Marvel as WE marvel at the broad with the creepiest eyes of all time. Seriously, is she about to turn into the Hulk or is she "one of them"? The movie starts as one thing, then someone zips through space on their watch. Gotta get me one of them shits.

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Reviews of Butter, Silent Night! Another Look at Spider-Man and Expendables 2! Epic TV Round-Up!

As Moreno recovers from his Thanksgiving bender, the boys decide to kick off the holiday season with the awfully great SILENT NIGHT. Law also checks out the star-studded BUTTER while Moreno catches up with THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, THE EXPENDABLES 2, and WIN WIN. TV Round-Up is in full effect with reviews of great episodes by Homeland, Sons of Anarchy, The Walking Dead, and Boardwalk Empire. There's tons to look at in New Releases, some ass-kissing voicemail, and a disturbing call from Jax Teller that proves to us, once and for all that he's losing his mind. For the club. Stay tuned later this week for our THEY LIVE Commentary!

JoBlo Movie Podcast: Horror Conventions, Walking Dead, Reviews of End of Watch, Total Recall, & Lawless

Moreno is back in studio and sounding sexy as ever. And he's fresh off a visit to Chicago's Days of the Dead Horror Convention where he witnessed lots of carnage and inappropriate t-shirts. TV Round-Up is as feisty as ever as we try to figure out where SOA and The Walking Dead are headed for their season finales. The boys get deep into reviews for END OF WATCH, LAWLESS, and TOTAL RECALL, take a look at what's new this week in theaters and shelves and try to figure out their first "after the credits" scene experience via voicemail. All this and some fake movie advice from Moreno. Call in this week and ask some real questions. We're pathetic.
