Dave, Mac, and Mike R. begin things with a trip down Total Recall memory lane and ponder the relationship between Fake Arnold Head and Real Arnold Head. After that it's onto much more cultivated discussions like a GI Joe sequel, animated reality shows, and the wonder of something called Stunt Rock. Ambush topics: Funky footwear, tough guys who are wusses in reality, and a bizarre choose-your-own topic with the help of Magic Eye.

In honor of the big Sony announcement, Erich, Dave, and Tim keep this week's show to a slim 34 minutes. Actually, it has more to do with Erich being sick and Dave needing to hit the local ice cream stand before it closes, but the boys still manage a quick Now Playing segment, talking Wii Sports Resort, Rhythm Heaven, Flipnote Studio, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, and everyone's intention to buy Shadow Complex. The news segment is all about Sony's second worst-kept secret -- the PS3 Slim. Will a redesign and lower price tag mean a turnaround for this generation's third place console? Finally, Symposium Ad Nauseum: Non-Main Stream Sports Games.

Dave, Mac and Erich burn through some bandwidth talking the new Batman video game, Watchmen on Blu-ray, ranking the Harry Potter films, and lame Thai movies about demonic martial artists. Your ambush topics: Movies you watched as a child that you're ashamed of, Foot injuries, and Swapping out Chewbacca for another big-screen alien.

Erich spends a good hour trying to separate feuding Canadians Steve and Adam, all while talking games like the Mothership Zeta expansion to Fallout 3, the Batman: Arkham Asylum demo, Left 4 Dead, Wii Sports Resort, Rhythm Heaven, and a massive MMORPG discussion ranging from World of Warcraft to the new documentary Second Skin. In news, Star Wars hits the Virtual Console, Steve loves the Brutal Legend soundtrack, Bioshock 2 has an S.O.S. for the world, Madden 10 has swimsuit issues, and Guitar Hero 5 takes its guns to town. This week’s Symposium Ad Nauseum is surprisingly tricky, but not as tricky as getting Steve to kick off a brand new segment.

It's a bittersweet installment of the show as Clark pays tribute to the late writer/producer/director John Hughes by featuring music from his films.

In addition, you'll hear music from such Hughes-written box office hits as Home Alone, Beethoven, Dennis the Menace, Miracle on 34th Street, Baby's Day Out, 101 Dalmatians, and Flubber, plus a bonus track from Maid in Manhattan. Finally, Clark reviews Nora Ephron's hit-and-miss Julie & Julia. Enjoy!

Dave, Mac and Erich convene for a spirited discussion about Betsy Ross and pornographic donkey movies. They talk about other stuff too, like breakfast cereal, antennae, odd chases, a review of Orphan, Lindsay Lohan's triumphant return to straight-to-DVD mediocrity, and Erich wins a very special prize.
