Dvd Verdict Presents... Movie Podcasts

Kent and Michelle bemoan the chill in the air, but waste no time jumping into a review-tastic episode. On the news front: the new JJ Abrams spy series sparks a bidding war; Transformers 3 gets a release date (meh); a fun-filled summer 2011 film season is on the way; MGM seeks a loan shark; James Franco checks into General Hospital; Quentin Tarantino says no more Pulp, but maybe Basterds or Bill; rumors of a Jack-less Pirates franchise are untrue says Disney; Madagascar and Monsters vs. Aliens head home for the holidays; and a 3D Beauty and the Beast is on the way. Rounding out the show, we head back into the Disney Vault for the 3D double feature of Toy Story and Toy Story 2, and offer up reviews for Animal Planet's Elephants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 8.
