Join Dave, Mac, Mike, and Michael for what starts out as interesting reviews of Star Trek and Woody Allen's Whatever Works, but quickly devolves into RiffTrax vs. Cinematic Titanic, feature films converted into bizarre television series, Larry David starring in blockbuster film franchises, and lengthy movie scenes that would work better as musical montages. Share your comments and questions in the new Filibuster discussion forum.

Kent and Michelle are full of surprises this week, as they refuse to review Star Trek, the dogs make a break for their freedom, Green Lantern casting heats up, Keanu Reeves cuts loose his inner beast, "Greaties of the '80s" explores Back to the Future II, and Michelle surpasses more than 3000 words into her novel.

Even Swine Flu can't dissuade Dave from leading a Filibuster investigation into the debacle that has befallen 24 Season 7; debriefing the Caprica pilot; a state of the state Roller Derby report; vivisecting X-Men Origins: Wolverine in both movie and video game form; Michael reviews the first two volumes of X-Men: The Animated Series; Dave takes on the War Gods and barely escapes with his life; plus, favorite mad bombers, woefully miscast actors, and Tough Boy love for MacGyver. Enjoy! Email your comments and questions to Dave and Mac.

As Erich takes a week off to sojourn on the magical voyage of fatherhood, Dave, Steve and Jon begin the show by helping him with video game-inspired name options for his bouncing, baby offspring. And that's as warm and fuzzy as it gets, as the discussion promptly diverts into the realm of the bloody and eviscerated with three takes on Raven's vicious new hack 'n slash, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. From there, it's on to Jon once again setting the bandwidth on fire through his nigh-erotic love affair for Capcom and their plan to bring over some PS1 classics to the PlayStation Network; Steve tossing in more grist to the rumor mill with speculation over Apple buying out EA; and Dave weighing the ethical questions of stores licensing exclusive gameplay content through their pre-ordering process. Finally, it's a trip around the horn sounding off about this week's Symposiumn ad Nauseum topic: video game dogs. Woof! If you can think of a better catchphrase for the show, email us at feedback@pixelverdict.com

The world is a Twitter, as Kent and Michelle settle in for a second version for this week's show (the first one didn't record). With that out of the way, they dive right into stupid names, unreturned voice mails, name that boy band, Ridley Scott toys with an Alien prequel, Blu Gremlins goes back to the drawing board, what is going to live and die on Network TV, and a very special Trek-tospective. Email your questions, comments, and suggestions to Kent and Michelle. Be sure to check out ViewFromTheCouch.com.

Hollywood aspires to mediocrity this week, as Judge Clark Douglas features music from less than impressive films such as The Da Vinci Code (2006), US Marshalls (1998), The Specialist (1994), Presumed Innocent (1990), Daredevil (2003), Valley of the Kings (1954), Erin Brokovich (2000), Vatel (2000), Bicentennial Man (1999), Stripes (1981), Hart's War (2002), The Pick-up Artist (1987), and a bonus track from his movie review of the week X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Steve, Dan, and Chris join Michael for an in-depth look at the 2009 Summer Movie schedule, from Wolverine (May 1) to The Boat the Rocked (Aug 28) and everything in between.

Maybe it was the late night recording session, but this week's episode is a wacky one, with tangents and teasing a-plenty. When the game talk finally begins, Erich, Dave, Tim, and Adam chat about new DLC for Left 4 Dead and Street Fighter IV, the retro goodness of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and The Typing of the Dead, Too Human, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Crackdown, Pure, Chrono Trigger, Peggle Dual Shot, the newest addition to the Asperschlager household, and a yard sale opportunity missed. An abbreviated news segment touches on the head-scratching possibilities of a game in which Mr. T fights Nazis, and the latest rumors about the next PSP. That last item leads into a discussion of dead video formats for some reason, followed by Dave surprising the group with this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum topic--an experiment in improvisation we probably won't try again.

It's a gold medal-winning episode, as the Dixons celebrate recent family accomplishments, icky hotel bathroom experiences, mourn the passing of Bea Arthur, express an interest in Harper's Island, school people on the proper use of Twitter, and introduce their new segment "Greaties of the '80s" featuring a review of Back to the Future. Meanwhile, Jim Carrey gets Scrooged, the Governator shows up in T4, Spidey may go 3D, Harry Potter suffers a splitting headache, TMNT gets yet another reboot, and Tom Hanks talks the beast that will be Toy Story 3.

Confused by the title of this show? This week's podcast doesn't offer many answers. Still, Erich, Dave, Jon, and Steve try to make sense of their corner of the gaming world while talking about Far Cry 2, Too Human, Ninja Blade, Fire Pro Wrestling, Rhythm Heaven, Samurai Shodown Anthology, Resident Evil 4, and Conan. In the news section, Dave confesses to pre-ordering the new Wolverine game because of something called a "dismemberment room," Erich wonders whether the upcoming Rock Band titles will hit before music games die, Steve looks forward to more Fallout post-apocalyptic goodness, and Jon crosses his fingers in hopes that Capcom will be announcing something cool at CAPTIVATE '09. They wrap things up with this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum topic, "Kick-Ass Female Protagonists," and finish with the lamest sign-off ever.

Welcome to meltdown city! The Dixons are reeling from catastrophic hard drive failure, the death of their PS3, and Michelle's exhaustion, but manage to pull it together for a review of Marley & Me (Blu-ray), the rumors of Flick Swap's death may be greatly exaggerated but a musical exploration takes its place with Mamma Mia!, more X-Men and Twilight movies on the way, Disney calls upon Nic Cage for a live-action Sorcerer's Apprentice, Peter Jackson and Guillermo Del Toro shed light on their 2-picture Hobbit series, and "much much more."

It's a gala black tie affair and Dave does as little as possible to celebrate 100 episodes of Filibuster inanity, but Mac steps up with a special guest star and a list of other great 100 episode / 100 minute / 100 issue moments in entertainment history. With that out of the way, it's back to business talking shock-laden 24 reveals, far too many similarities between The Office and Parks and Recreation, enjoying the series premiere of The Unusuals, watching bad gladiator films without the benefit of sarcastic robots, reviewing While She Was Out, cartoon characters taking out live-action heroes, swapping similarly named characters between films, and harsh wisdom from beyond the stars. Email your comments, questions, or suggestions to Dave and Mac.

It's Canada 3 - America 1, as Erich welcomes Adam, Jon, and Steve to talk games and correct his meager knowledge of Canadian geography. They talk Demon's Souls, Sly Cooper 2, Hammerin' Hero, Legends of Wrestlemania, Suikoden Tierkreis, Resident Evil 4, and Tetris DS. In news, Jon's excitement about an early release for PS3-exclusive inFamous turns into a debate about the marketing wisdom of using demos as pre-order bonuses, Steve joins the throngs of Xbox 360 owners rejoicing over Microsoft adding the E74 error to its 3-year warranty, and Adam uses his +4 charm to get everyone to care about the new World of Warcraft patch. After minor technical difficulties, the boys wrap things up with this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum, asking deep questions about why the gaming cliches that bug us the most are often those we hold most dear.
