It's Tuesday, so you all know what that means, it's time for the next two hours of excellence- The Sandwich Radio Show. Tim and Brendan have a lot to talk about this week and it will be the best two hours of radio you've ever heard.
As usual we got our weekend box office recap showing how the biggest Hollywood movies faired this weekend. We will be previewing this week's biggest releases mainly- Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and offer up our weekend box office predictions.
We have our weekly dose of television and entertainment news as well.
It's a very exciting week this week in particular because we will be unveiling two new segments on the show. The first is one you will all love and it's called Story time. Story time is going to involve either Tim or Brendan telling hillarious stories from our past that we thought we just had to tell you our listeners.
The next segment is called 'Recasting the classics.' Imagine the 'Dark Knight' with someone other then Heath Ledger as the Joker, well what if that happened. We will be going over some of the biggest Hollywood movies in recent memory and look at them with a completely different cast, it's going to be a lot of fun and make you wonder just how good that movie you loved really would be with someone else playing the main role.
We also have our Best/Worst segment along with the Top 13 Countdown which this week will have Tim and Brendan going over their Top 13 Summer Blockbuster movies, that lets just say had to meet a couple of requirements to pass this list.
So tune into 88.1 FM WLRA The Start or listen online at www.lewisu.edu/wlra this Tuesday from 12pm-2pm. Also chime in on our weekly discussion boards as we want to hear what you guys think about the topics were talking about as well, because we'll give you a shout out!

The Sandwich Radio Show Eats A Baby On The Air?
Protest against the eating of babies by listening to The Sandwich.... the one sandwich we'll never eat is a veal parmesan , because veal is a baby cow... or a calf, if you will.
Right, other than that, listen as we break down the weekend box office figures and throw down our predictions for this upcoming weekend.
We also preview Year One with Jack Black and Michael Cera, who seems like he's kind of turned into a dick....anybody else with me on that one? and The Proposal with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock.
We also have TV news concerning the fates of Futurama and Chuck as well as My Name is Earl... if you want to know now you can probably just "Google News" it.
We also let you in on the latest movie news concerning the Pirates, Mission Impossible and Lord of the Rings Trilogies.
We let you know what DVDs and CDs are setting up shop in display cases this week and if you should buy.... no you shouldn't, save your money... you're going to have to put your kids through college.
We also have our Best and Worst Movie Franchises along with our Reminiscin' Old School segment where we'll be talking up classic video games... you will lose your mind.
We finish up with our Top 13 Songs That Must Be On Guitar Hero 5 and a preview of the weeks ahead including the debut of two brand new segments.

The Sandwich Preview: Fourth Edition, Volume One
This is going to be better than last week.... maybe.
We will be breaking down the box office figures from this past weekend with the strong showing by The Hangover and the absolute dud by Will Ferrell's latest, The Land of the Lost... we didn't see it and apparently not too many other people did either.
We will review The Hangover, sneak peak.... we loved it (that was written as a whisper, so if you didn't say it like that, go back and reread it correctly in your mind)
We also have on tap the new releases on DVD and CD this week, along with our Best and Worst CDs we ever bought.... that should be very embarrassing for the both of us. Tune in to find out which one of us paid $14.99 for the soundtrack to Gigli.
We finish off the show with Reminisin' Old School as we look back on the terrible music we use to listen to and have now realized that it was garbage, and last but not least....
We each give you the Top 13 Family Guy Random Flashbacks, audio clips included.
So turn the dial to 88.1 fm this Tuesday from 12pm until 2pm.... maybe 2:30, or listen online at www.LewisU.edu/WLRA.

The Sandwich Week 3: Murphy's Law Takes Effect
Okay, so maybe this week was not our best, but it was pretty damn difficult to top the first two weeks. We have to stop setting the bar so high and this week we definitely worked on lowering it.
Granted it was not a bad show, sure we had that 5 or 10 minute jag where it was just laughter and nonsense, but we persevered and got back on our game as we knocked out a damn fine second hour.
The Sandwich this week began, as it always does, with our recap of the weekend box office figures. Tim nailed his predictions as he had the top three spots being filled by UP, Night at the Museum 2 and Terminator Salvation. I had the top two right, but thought Star Trek would stay strong in the third spot. Although it is still in the top 5 and over 210 million now.
1. Up: 68.2 mil, third largest opening for a Pixar movie
2. Night at the Museum 2: 24.3 mil
3. Terminator Salvation: 16.3 mil
4. Drag Me To Hell: 15.6 mil
5. Star Trek: 12.6 mil
Quick question: What does it say about two guys in their early to mid twenties when they are first in line at the movies to see a kid's movie? I'm not sure, but Tim and I were right in the front Saturday night to see Pixar's latest and greatest movie "UP" and it did not disappoint in the least.
Dug obviously steals the movie and his antics are just absolutelySQUIRREL....... Hi There. The first time I saw that in the trailer I nearly wet my pants and Dug was just fantastic. Russell was great and Carl was very easy for me to relate to. I lost my golden retriever to cancer nearly a year ago and maybe for some of you, a dog does not compare to someone's wife, but with Brandy I still find myself trying to hold onto to anything and everything that reminds me of her. Carl does the same in the movie with Ellie and it was very poignant and therapeutic for me to see this movie. I gave it 9 and 1/2 PB&Js out of 5 with 4 Glasses of Milk to wash it down. Great movie. GO SEE IT!
Tim agreed whole-heartedly with me and pointed out the fact that UP was an overall solid movie, with no unneccessary breaks from the plot and played out like a movie should. The music was great and once again, Tim showed his affection for the dim-witted pooch and the oversized bird, Kevin. 5 PB&Js out of 5.
Thankfully we managed to get through that first segment without the fire alrams that were constantly going off distracting us too much. We should have known right then and there that the show was going to be a rough one.
We then launched into our look at the movies being released into theaters this weekend and both of us our pretty excited about The Hangover, starring Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers, YES Man), Zach Galifinakis (Out Cold), Ed Helms (The Office) and Justin Bartha (National Treasure 1 and 2). We will be checking that movie out this weekend, probably friday night and letting you guys know what we think next week.
Tim was kind of lukewarm about going to see the new Will Ferrell movie, Land of the Lost, but I think it looks pretty funny. However, if I can see only one movie this weekend it's going to be Gattica...I mean, The Hangover.
We both agreed that UP will stay at the number one spot this weekend because the Hangover has an R-rating. Watchmen was the last movie with an R-rating to open number one and I don't think the Hangover has that kind of rabid following.
Tim: 1-UP, 2-Land of the Lost, 3-The Hangover
Brendan: 1- UP, 2-The Hangover, 3-Land of the Lost.... although Night at the Museum could stay in the top 3.
During the commercial break, Tim and I left to go see UP again and left two other people who sounded like us and had the same names and opinions as us to take over the show..... jesus, did they really screw it up.
We reviewed the MTV Movie Awards, which were rather unwatchable as it seemed like the production budget was cut in half. They barely showed clips for the categories and at times it was just chaos and awkwardness. Twilight over Dark Knight? Really!?!?!? What is wrong you people?!?!
The only decent parts were Jim Carrey's acceptance speech when you talked about embarassing himself in front of the handsome boy from Twilight and begging California to overturn Prop 8, the Life-Time Achievement Award with Keifer Sutherland crying about Ben Stiller was pretty stellar, but other than that the MTV Movie Awards simply showed the Sascha Baron Cohen is just annoying and the Eminem is just a hate-filled biggot or a closeted homosexual.
After our rants about Sunday's calamity on MTV, we talked about Dick Solomon joining the cast of Dexter as the Trinity Killer... well, not Dick Solomon, but John Lithgow will be in the cast this season. Also, Mykelti Williamson and Freddie Prinze Jr are set to join the cast of 24.
Since we were still at the movies, I don't know exactly what happened during the break, but from what it sounded like when the show was back on the air, our stunt doubles had been drinking a lot of stupid juice and forgot that radio shows should be filled with talking and not breakdowns of laughter and hysteria. Amateurs.
We came back and let the listeners know what DVDs and CDs are dropping this week, crashing the shelves, hitting the storefront, riding the cropduster, scraping the.....okay that's enough, we got it.... and we got it.
DVDs
-He's Just Not That In To You
-Revolutionary Road
-Defiance
-Weeds Season 4
-PrisonBreak Season 4
CDs (even though I don't anyone who has bought a CD in the last year)
-DMB: Big Whiskey, blah blah blah something hip or ironic blah blah blah.... Dave Matthews sucks
-The Debut album from the Super Group ChickenFoot
SQUIRREL!
It seems as though Super Groups are becoming a pretty common trend now with Velvet Revolver and AudioSlave, who have gone by the wayside, but now other groups like Tinted Windows and The Dead Weather are bringing together talent from other already successful bands.
Tinted Windows: James Iha from the Smashing Pumpkins, Taylor Hanson from Hanson.... and now MMMBop will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.... great, Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne and Bun E. Carlos from Cheap trick.
The Dead Weather: Alison Mosshart of the Kills, Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age, Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs and Jack White of the White Stripes.
With that in mind, we though it would be perfect to head into our Best and Worst segment focusing on Super Groups, who would be the best super group, your dream super group and who would be the worst, the nightmare super group.
Brendan's Best (Modern): Chris Martin of Coldplay, John Mayer, Geddy Lee of Rush and Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters.
Tim's Best: Something terrible I'm sure, I was barely listening.
Brendan's Best (Classic): Roger Daltry, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Les Claypool and Ringo Starr
Tim's Best (Classic): Steven Tyler, Neil Pert (Comic Genius, Tim...you are a comic genuis) and two other people I can't remember.
Brendan's Worst: NICKLEBACK. It is always Nickleback....they're just terrible, plus their Canadian, so they lose huge points for that.
Tim's Worst: I can't remember again. Liam Gallagher, Travis Barker and other people.
We took another commercial break and probably should have just ended the show, but we decided to move forward with the disaster that was soon to be the beginning of Reminiscin' Old School.
The first five minutes I could not keep myself together and fell into a fit of laughter, Tim followed suit and the show probably should have gone to commercial, but we stayed strong and made it through and it actually turned out to be a really good segment.
We talked about movies this week and hit on some of the best of our childhood.
The Sword in the Stone
All Dogs Go To Heaven
The Never-Ending Story
The Brave Little Toaster
Babe
The early Batman movies with Michael Keaton
Ferngully
The Rescuers Down Under
The Goonies
The Mighty Ducks
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Mrs. Doubtfire
Newsies
3 Ninjas
A GOOFY MOVIE (Classic!)
....and a bunch of others.
Tim and I returned from seeing UP just in time to come in and announce our Top 13 Underrated Movies of All-Time, our stunt doubles had gone fetal and were locked in a naked embrace and crying when we walked into the studio. It was quite a sight to behold and somehow, my stunt double is actually hairier than I am..... that is quite a feat.
