We play catch-up with a TON of interesting news and rumors. First, though, Jonathan Lack discusses his new book, Fade to Lack - available now from Amazon.Com - and offers an interview with illustrator Shannon Wheeler. We then move on to discuss the Sim City launch fiasco (to put it lightly), catch-up with the (bad) movies of 2013, offer thoughts on the recent Iron Man 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness trailers, recap Star Wars casting news, discuss a silly Justice League rumor, and for our main topic, dive into the mountains upon mountains of casting confirmations recently made for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." With so many villains and love interests, what could this movie possibly look like? We do our best to figure it out!
