The new year kicks off with the return of THE FRIDAY FILIBUSTER. This week, Dave and Mac debrief the Christmas holidays; visit the non-typical fantasy of THE GOLDEN COMPASS; the stellar non-happy fun time of Tim Burton's SWEENEY TODD; holiday pick-me-up viewing of ATONEMENT and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. After previewing the January 8 releases of 3:10 TO YUMA, ZODIAC, and MAMMOTH, the boys dive into their brand new feature: "The Ambush Debates." For example, who makes the better army -- Stormtroopers or Orcs? You make the call. Enjoy!

You can email the boys your questions, suggestions, and complaints at fridayfilibuster@dvdverdict.com, or show your support by voting for us at Podcast Alley, and Digg.
