DVD Verdict Presents... Movie Podcasts

Dave, Jon, and Erich convene for what may or may not be the actual 50th episode (either way, we'll celebrate the milestone next week) by eagerly anticipating Dante's Inferno, giving the Wii some hard-hitting love in the form of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and heaping more praise on both games in the Mass Effect series. Are you tired of hearing us talk about Batman: Arkham Asylum? Good news: Erich finally finished it. Bad news: he talks about it one last time. To finish, this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum takes us all around the world, from London to the Bay.

Feel free to join the rest of the junkies in the new Blast Processing! discussion forum.

And now you can enjoy the madness all week long on the new Filibuster Facebook page.

It's a two-man show this week, as Steve and Erich pour one out for Conan O'Brien, dig into space sequel extraordinaire Mass Effect 2, go back in time with PS2 launch title Summoner, bemoan the Killer Croc stage of Batman: Arkham Asylum, wonder whether some games are just too darn long, and pay lip service to sports with this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum: "Super Bowl Special!"

Dave, Tim, and Erich do their best to alienate listeners, with musings on the religious implications of recent games, the tail-end of the NFL season, and NBA Jam tournament memories. The boys make up for it, though, with another 40 minutes of video game talk. Tim still loves Modern Warfare 2, Dave sings the praises of Darksiders, Erich learns a valuable lesson about his gaming tastes thanks to Batman: Arkham Asylum, and should difficulty count in review scores? The capper is this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum: Over My Dead Body is My Daughter Marrying That Guy. Oh, and pinball.

It's time to Couche diem. Join Kent and Michelle for a half hour of marital bliss, as they look back on the last decade in film, entertainment news, and milestones in their own lives. Michelle takes the driver's seat from a slightly sluggish Kent to recap highlights from the Golden Globes; take a look at the Disney family gem Bridge to Terabithia; hang out with Kermit and the gang as they search for Muppets From Space; and share first impressions of Fox's new series Human Target.
