Calling back to our Top 13 of last week (Greatest TV Characters of Our Generation), we thought it would be best to decide what current TV character we would most like to become. I of course went with Peter Petrelli from NBC's hit show Heroes. What other choice could be made? The guy is a sponge who can soak up other people's abilities just by being around them, plus he has a good heart and is always trying to save the world. Tim went a different direction, but stayed on the same network, citing Dwight Schrute from The Office as his dream character. Good choice, Dwight may be wierd, but he is memorable.
After snapping out of our medically induced comas only to realize that our evil twins had taken our place as hosts of the radio show and we bashing great shows like Chuck and 24 were we able to get down to the nitty gritty of our show and jump into the box office recap.
-Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian took in 70 mil
-Terminator Salvation had a mediocre showing with 67 mil in four days
-Star Trek stayed strong with nearly 30 mil more to bring its toal to 191 mil.
Tim reviewed the recent installment of the Terminator franchise, giving it good marks because he unable to see past his Christian Bale man crush and realize that it had a weak storyline.
-4 PB&Js out of 5 for Terminator Salvation
Tim and I differed on our thoughts of Terminator as I saw it as a big disappointment that while loud and packed with action, left me unfulfilled.
-2 1/2 PB&Js
Tim got to crackin' on Night at the Museum deuce and said that while it started slow, it was definitely a must see for those who saw the first one. I on the other hand did not see it, but wanted to after watching the first one over the weekend.
-Tim gives Night at the Museum 3 1/2 PB&Js
Tim and I both got very excited as we dropped our pants and talked about Pixar's newest release, UP, which is coming out this weekend. This movie looks hilarious if not only for Dug, the talking dog. I nearly wet myself the first time I saw the trailer for this movie and cannot wait until saturday when we see it in 3-D.
-UP: Highly reccommended. Go see it!
During the commercial break we regrouped and prepared to fight off numerous decepticons, sadly Megan Fox was not there to assist us, but we did manage to stay the course... a thousand points of light..... stay the course.
Next we previewed the MTV Movie Awards coming up this sunday with our predictions in the major categories.
Best Movie
-Tim: The Dark Knight
-Brendan: The Dark Knight
Other nominees not worth mentioning as we are clearly right on this pick.
Best Male Performance
-Tim: Christian Bale in The Dark Knight
-Brendan: Christian Bale in The Dark Knight
Again, we are clearly correct on this pick as well.
Best Female Performance
-Tim: Wants Anne Hathaway to win for Bride Wars, but believes Kristen Stewart will take it home for Twilight even though she clearly did not act in the movie... unless you monotony as acting...I don't.
-Brendan: Wants Kate Winslet to win for The Reader, but believes the same as Tim. The MTV audience is not very bright.
Best Comedic Performance
-Tim: Jim Carrey in Yes Man
-Brendan: James Franco in Pineapple Express
Best Villain
- How is this even debateable? It is Heath Ledger as the Joker, hands down.
We took a short commercial break where I strategically shaved Tim's initials into my chest hair and for good measure did the same on each one of my ass cheeks. Pics will soon be up on this blog, so look forward to that.
After the break we talked about the American Idol finale, if you need to know anything about that, check out Tim's blog.
Who cares about AI because after the finale we got a sneak preview of Fox's new hit, Glee. It looks to be very entertaining and pretty original. The versions of Don't Stop Believin' and Rehab are pretty damn good and the cast of characters, while not any real recognizable people, still looks to be pretty strong. Check out the preview episode on iTunes for free and while you are there check out the podcast for our show. Just search Lewis University or WLRA.
We touched on the CW's new schedule and cancellations after we were done touching each other......it gets lonely in the studio sometimes. Reaper, Privileged and Everybody Hates Chris have all been canned along with the spinoff of Gossip Girl.
We also talked about movies that have movied from the silver screen to the tube. Madagascar along with Kun Fu Panda and Monsters v. Aliens have all got their own series now and this seems like it will be a continuing trend to capitalize on the success of a smash hit.
We took another commercial break where I realized that I regretted shaving the initials into my body and decided to have all of it waxed off.... look for the video of my agonizing pain to be posted within the next day.
With my chest bleeding profusely and my head getting light we moved quickly into our Best and Worst segment where we looked at some of the most memorable and most forgettable movie cameos.
Tim's Best: Will Ferrell in Wedding Crashers
Tim's Worst: Keith Richards in Pirates of the Carribbean: At World's End, but only because it was spoiled so early on.
Brendan's Best: The beginning of Austin Powers: Goldmember with Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Danny DeVito and Kevin Spacey.
Brendan's Worst: Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder... he was just creepy.
During the commercial break, Tim did a 3 minute head spin that rivaled the likes of Kid Rainen's of the Jabbawockeez in the first season of America's Best Dance Crew.
Reminisin' Old School is just way too difficult to describe, the audio of the show will be posted this week and it is an absolute must listen as we talked about Old School TV shows like:
Are You Afraid of The Dark?, Rugrats, Angry Beavers, Hey! Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, Duck Tales, Salute Your Shorts, All That, Lamb Chops, TMNT, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Doug, CatDog and abuot a thousand more.
We then knocked out our Top 13 Overrated Movies of All-Time.
