Judges Dave Johnson and Mac McEntire return from their holiday break rested, recharged, and rarin' to go. The boys go head-to-head talking smack about TRANSFORMERS; extoll the virtues of Pixar's RATATOUILLE; rundown the remaining summer tentpole pictures; and take a quick look at the July 17 releases of THE INCREDIBLE HULK: SEASON TWO, the altruistic Vampire reality of PERFECT CREATURE, and special edition releases of RED DAWN and SHOWGIRLS. Finally, this week's Ambush Topics include... Characters made entirely of food; Reality-stretching moments from SAVED BY THE BELL; Pitting villains from Harrison Ford movies against each other; If you were on the island of LOST... Enjoy!
