On this week's episode, all three of the boys still love Batman: Arkham City, while Steve spends some quality time with Battlefield 3, and Jon plays some Kirby, Kev decides to take his chances as some sort of harpoon wielding cloud whale thing. Being topical and all, we also sound the drums of doom for Nintendo, what with all their recent financial woes. Rated M for Mature.

It's an unintentional Halloween episode, as Mac reacquaints himself with Freddy Krueger, Erich leverages Netflix to consume Paranormal Activity 1 and 2, and Dave is enjoying the new season of Dexter.

This week's BLAST PROCESSING takes our boys to Gotham City for some thoughts on Batman's latest video game outing. There's also talk of racing fast cars, the dirty cyberpunk future, '80s cartoons that would make awesome games, poutine, and Tony Scott: The Video Game. We don't understand it either. Failure to curb Jon's penchant for F-bombs means this bad boy is Rated 'M' for Mature.

Patrick and JB once again venture into the maw of the Music Box Massacre and live to tell about it. 13 movies. 24 hours. This is their story, in their own shell-shocked, sleep deprived words.

It's another musical grab bag, as Clark spotlights a random assortment of film music selections: I Capture the Castle, The Unsaid, Soldier, Tin Man, Live and Let Die, The Stunt Man, Forever Amber, The Driver, Apt Pupil, The Virgin Suicides, and a piece from Christopher Young's An Unfinished Life rejected score. Plus, reviews of The Tree of Life, Horrible Bosses, Terri, and Lars von Trier's polarizing sci-fi flick Melancholia.

Indian Summer Vacation is over! Blast Processing is back with talk of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Rage, Dark Souls, Steve Jobs, High Def Remakes, and a round of Whiskey shots (purely celebratory, of course). Rated M for Mature!

Contrarian a-hole authoritarians Dave and Dan return with a Ron Swanson update before settling into an in-depth discussion of terrifying Hollywood adaptations of video games for television and film -- The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, Captain N: The Gamemaster, Pac-Man, Dragon's Lair, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, DOOM, and more. The bigger question: Is it even possible to create a worthwhile translation from game to film? Speculation centers on Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Halo.

This week, the boys ponder the validity of Columbus Day. Mac asks the question, "Can you murder a robot?" Erich gets into Deadwood. Dave stops short of saying he loves Terra Nova.

This week, Clark coughs up some music from films about sickness and disease, offering selections from Iris, Dying Young, Medicine Man, Shadowlands, Outbreak, and Stepmom. In addition, the cancer-themed comedy/drama 50/50 is reviewed alongside a handful of new DVD and Blu-ray releases.
