Howdy yall, so I just want to make it a point to remind you all to save your work…. No seriously do it now.  I bring up this point because I wrote a beautiful blog for all of you to enjoy but alas I was a fool and decided to close the wrong tab.  Woe is me~  But you don’t care much about that do you?  No indeed, you are here for some good ‘oll SzG commentary! So with that point of frustration I ask your forgiveness in the brevity of this post and now on with the show.  No Theatrical Review this week but don’t fret!  Avengers 2 is just around the corner as well as the beginning of the glorious Summer Movie season.  This week’s topics include Trailers from Batman V Superman, Ant-Man, Terminator Genisys, StarWars, Battlefront, Netflix getting a How to Train Your Dragon TV show and Oliva Munn cast as Psylocke.  Oh and you also get a special SzG bet between Bat and myself.

The Outside was this weeks streaming review was from another listener and friend of the show, the Fanboy.  I had a very nice and eloquent review written out for this one but again… lost to the digital gods so I’ll sum it up for you.  Movie is bad.  It’s a surf movie with about 10% surfing.  Acting is like after school special bad.  Wooden acting might be an affront to wood supporters everywhere.  Conditional: this isn’t our type of movie so it may just be us… but online reviews seem to side with us.  Skip this one kiddos, you’ll be better for it.  Bat 3 stars (generous) Hammer 2 stars (slightly less generous).

Next week we get back to suggesting movies for ourselves with A Million Ways to Die in the West.

Just so we have it in writing dear listeners here is our SzG Hammer vs Bat Smirnoff Ice Bet.  Bat predicts that Ant-Man will be Marvels  first “flop” while I protest that it will be an equal success at least to other Movies.  We came to our estimated Box Office amounts by looking at past movies and Bat is saying that the movie will make less than $150 million while I’m saying that it will make $180 million.  We’re counting this only for it’s theatrical run and domestic only.   The stakes?  We’re using “Bros Icing Bros” as the basis for our “rewards.”  If Bat wins I shall chug a Smirnoff Ice (flavor of his choice) on bended knee and if I win he will do the same.  Now If it’s in between the two then we will have a chug off.  All of this will be posted on YouTube for your viewing pleasure.  So let the best (me) man win!

Hello again to all of you awesome people!  No Theatrical Review this week since honestly there isn’t all too much out right now. But we do have a Streaming Review along with a heaping helping of nerd news including: Bruce Campbell wanting to do an ‘Expendables’ of Horror movies, the Pixels trailer, Mallrats 2 announced, Batgirl and Joker controversy, a run down of Marvel’s Secret Wars tie ins, Nintendo’s mobile and next gen system plans, Kojima leaving Konami, and Bat’s review of Infamous Second Son.

This weeks streaming review was Jack Ryan: Shaddow Recruit.  Both Bat and I enjoy the Jack Ryan series of movies, though we were surprised to find out there was only five of them made so far.  This movie is not bad by any means, not great but it is a fun spy thriller with some good action and decent performances by all involved.  If you are in the mood for a less action but higher concept spy movie give this one a shot.  We both rated it a 3 star on Netflix.

This weeks Streaming Review comes from listener and friend of the show Charles.  Boy Wonder is a movie that neither Bat nor I have ever heard of.  Check out the trailer below to see what you’re in for this week.

Gooooood morning Everyone and welcome to this weeks over the 100 hump SzG.  Wow do we feel old… 2 years old that is.  As a celebration of sorts we go back to what we do normally and review a movie, CHAPPiE.  This movie apparently got a lot of flak over the weekend and even some of our friends that saw it with us thought the same, but we liked it and we explain why in more detail in the episode.  We also bring you a few bits of nerdy news including both Ducktales and Inspector Gadget getting remakes, Avengers 2 trailer, Supergirl costume reveal and Rock Band lives!!!

To kick it all off we review my streaming suggestion of Chef.  Over all we both really enjoyed this one, the food parts esspecially left me hungry for more.  Seriously this movie alone has me wanting to take a trip to New Orleans for some Cafe Du Monde for some coffee and beignets.  The heart warming story of a father and son connecting over a shared purpose was nice and refreshing (never mind that he was pretty neglecting before).  But the over all feeling of a person seeking an outlet for his creativity really resonated with me and I would recommend the movie to you dear listeners for a fun easy movie while you cook something tasty.

Guess what guys and gals?  We have another Theatrical Review this week!  Okay well we have half of one, due to that magical stuff called work Bat was unable to join me for our review of Kingsman: the Secret Service. So there will only be a spoiler free review here, didn’t want to spoil the fun for Bat.

Also this week we have  Streaming Review as well as some new nerd news: The Hitman Trailer, Borderland Funco figures, more details about Starz Evil Dead series, 300 team to take on Robotech movie, John Wick 2 and Spiderman announced to be joining the MCU.

This weeks suggestions was Horns.  We didn’t know much about this movie going in besides the concept and that Radcliffe was in it.  Over all we really enjoyed the movie becuase of how it carried out the strange demonic twist on a murder mystery.  I really felt surprised by how good this movie was, though not without it’s flaws.  Both Bat and I gave it 3 out of 5 stars on Netflix and would recommend this movie to friends who are looking for something a little different.

Speaking of something different.  Did you ever want to see a mustachioed Joaquin Phoenix try and flirt with the voice of a digital Scarlett Johansson?  Well regardless of your answer that is this weeks Streaming Review, Her.

Guess what guys and gals?  We have a Theatrical Review this week!  This week we went to see Jupiter Ascending, the Wachowskis newest film adventure.  We were both intrigued by the trailers we saw before but were worried from previous experiences as well as the fact this movie was almost delayed a year.  It was originally on our Summer Movie list for geeks-sake!  Was the movie worth it?  

Well to start off let’s be positive, this movie is abso-lutely gorgeous!  The graphics, vistas and just pure strange creatures all looked fantastic and if that is all you want from a movie I would highly recommend you see this movie in the theater now.  Heck even spring for the 3D as I have heard it only enhances the awesomeness that is this movies beauty.   The action for the most part was pretty fast paced and enjoyable except for the confusing and long action scene over Chicago or Tatum and Bean’s jaunt through a wall of robots. That is about where I’m going to stop with the positives though.

Also this week we have  Streaming Review as well as some new nerd news.

Our first sports Streaming Review is Brian and the Boz.  While I am far from a sports fan, Bat recommended this one because he knew I was completely oblivious to the Boz  and that I love documentaries.  Taking this as just a documentary I can say that I really enjoyed it
