(WARNING: Some Explicit Language in first part of the show (the "bleep" machine was broken, sorry, folks)).

The crew returns with some headlines that spin off into a mini topic before they even get the show started. It's a bunch of film casting news, starting with Ben Affleck, going to Bryan Cranston, then Elizabeth Olsen and James Spader. Plus, the crew's thoughts on the New 52 Lobo, Bluewater's new intiative and more.

Then, it's time for another issue of Mark Waid's Green Hornet. Five issues in, is the crew still digging it, or has it fallen off the rails?

And there are new shout-outs again this week! Plus some plugs.

So grab a slab of bacon, fold out your theater chair, and get a life and stop threatening Affleck's (or any actor's for that matter). It's time to enter the Zone!
