DVD Verdict 517 - The Friday Filibuster (Resurrecting Lou Gossett Jr.)

Dave, Mac, Erich, Mike, and Michael saddle up to do battle with weather, traffic, the Olympics, Benicio Del Toro in The Wolfman, a Big Sandwich in Little China, Erich's fetish for feline-owned baseball teams, Roman Polanski's Ghost Writer vs. Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, going down the rabbit hole with Abby in Wonderland, non-existent memories of Matt Houston, and an animated Friday Night Lights goes all Arthurian to dispense justice. Plus, such pearls of wisdom as don't get caught in a Yoga Meltdown or go camping near a maximum security prison; when real life tragedies seep into scripted TV shows; reckless oil drilling on high school football fields; addressing the horrible epidemic of children trapped in refrigerators; giving a 300-style makeover to classic '80s action flicks; when man-made monsters and movie/television-themed Mad Libs go bad; and another game of "Dead or Alive?" starring Lou Gossett Jr.

And now you can enjoy the madness all week long on the new Filibuster Facebook page.

DVD Verdict 516 - Blast Processing! The Efficient Gamer

Dave, Tim, and Erich run through the games they've been playing--including Modern Warfare 2, Mass Effect, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 'Splosion Man, Dante's Inferno, and Street Fighter IV--before looking ahead to big (and little) titles on the horizon. Dave wonders whether he should try Heavy Rain, Tim wonders whether he'll be able to find a PS3 before God of War III comes out, and Erich wonders whether the Xbox Live Arcade Game Room will be worth downloading. No Symposium Ad Nauseum this week, but we have a very good excuse. At least, I think we do. You'll have to listen to find out.

DVD Verdict 504 - Blast Processing! Penultimate Bifecta

Dave, Jon, and Erich convene for what may or may not be the actual 50th episode (either way, we'll celebrate the milestone next week) by eagerly anticipating Dante's Inferno, giving the Wii some hard-hitting love in the form of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and heaping more praise on both games in the Mass Effect series. Are you tired of hearing us talk about Batman: Arkham Asylum? Good news: Erich finally finished it. Bad news: he talks about it one last time. To finish, this week's Symposium Ad Nauseum takes us all around the world, from London to the Bay.
