Ben is in Atlanta, ready to enjoy a day at Six Flags, meaning Corey is at the helm for the first time in Aspect Radio’s short history. Will we make it?

Pardon the technical difficulties. Corey explains the matter at the top.

Enjoy!

So, we saw INCEPTION. This show was recorded after each of our first viewings. We’ve all since seen it twice, yet we likely still can’t escape word vomit hell. We don’t talk about much else here. Ben Stark joins us briefly toward the end.

We went with KNIGHT & DAY over Adam Sandler’s GROWN UPS, though we doubt you’ll mind. Is Tom Cruise officially back as a reliably appealing leading man, or should we have just gushed over TOY STORY 3 again?

Plus, my brother Graham joins us to tell us about his recent interview with legendary American filmmaker Oliver Stone (link up soon).

*CORRECTION: The Ghana player Ben is referring to is Mensah, not Henske. Dude is like Rolando McClain on a soccer field.

Fresh off of accidentally deleting their previous show on THE A-TEAM*, we’re back to hit up Pixar’s latest in their hopefully never-ending string of PERFECT movies (BF: sans CARS).

Will the franchise weaken in the hands of new director Lee Unkrich, or does it hold up not only alongside its TOY STORY predecessors but the other great Pixar achievements like FINDING NEMO, RATATOUILLE and WALL-E?

FIND OUT!

– TOY STORY 3 review

– Pixar revisiting these characters sooner than expected?

– Leonardo DiCaprio to star in Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar Hoover biopic; Dustin Lance Black (MILK) to script, Brian Grazer to produce

*Ben deleted last week’s show. For this, he apologizes. But it was probably still somehow Corey’s fault.
