Spring has begun to rear its head in Edmonton, as beavers die on the riverbanks and the show goes commando 'Friday Filibuster' style. This week, an Empire Strikes Back trivia question; Kent mourns the death of HD DVD and foolishly dreams of a day when Sony will replace HD equipment and titles with Blu-ray equivalents. Hahahahaha... silly boy; the long delayed Jay Jay's Wing-Wigglin' Mystery review lands; Flick Swap ventures into Rob Reiner's Rumor Has It; and Knight Rider returns to TV. Enjoy!

First up, Kent tackles Corrina, Corrina as his Flick Swap assignment where we learn it was one of Tina Majorino's (Napoleon Dynamite) first film roles. Next week, Michelle is tasked with reviewing Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. In the meantime, these two brave souls tackle the latest releases from The Wiggles and the Teletubbies. Brave souls indeed.

Kent falls prey to Strep Throat in this week's shortened, snow covered show. Thankfully, Michelle is here to pick up the slack, with her Flick Swap review of Alabamian Lucas Black's annoying accent in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift; and they both tackle two non-Disney, Discovery Kids' series: the cheesy, horribly acted Flight 29 Down and the mildly amusing Kenny the Shark. Top it off with teasers of upcoming shorts and you have a bite-sized nugget of entertainment. Enjoy!

Fully recovered from a nasty head cold, Kent and Michelle are back with a vengeance. Extoll the many virtues of violin virtuoso Andre Rieu. Recall the novelty of "Hooked on Classics." Fear the horror of dealing with Canada Customs. Cower to Kent's love interests of the 1970s. Thrill to the raw insanity of Robin Williams in Mork and Mindy: Season Two. Defend yourself from the smarminess of Hannah Montana: Life is What You Make It. Hang ten with Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board. And remember: Don't drink and drive and listen to View from the Couch at the same time.

This week, winter creeps into the wilds of Edmonton, Alberta, as Kent hunkers down for an evening with Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger... much to his dismay. But he did get to wash away his distaste with a nice chaser of HAPPY DAYS: SEASON TWO, while waxing philosophical on "Jumping the Shark," the death of drive-in theaters, life without plumbing, and listener mail. Meanwhile, poor Michelle, who can't get a word in edge-wise, eventually has the opportunity to share her thoughts on Saturday morning cartoons. Don't be alarmed, we'll have them back on their meds next week. Enjoy!

Podcast format redundancy does nothing to dissuade our favorite husband and wife team, who are in the process of upgrading to 21st Century HD technology... Michelle could care less. This week Flick Swap has been pre-empted in favor of special family Halloween reviews. With the help of our resident cartoon experts Connor and Emily, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast: Trick or Treat gets a big thumbs up. And for the tweenagers, R.L. Stein's Haunting Hour scares up some darker fun, complete with an appearance of Tobin Bell (Jigsaw). And speaking of scary, Kent's Flick Swap assignment for next week is Terms of Endearment. Poor guy. As we wait for that train wreck, don't forget to check out Kent's written review of Twilight Zone: The Movie. Enjoy!

With another show lost to the malevolent demon beagle, Kent and Michelle bravely start over with take two. Michelle takes on KING KONG with a tear in her eye and an open fist headed for the back of Kent's head. A custom musical introduction heralds an new feature called "Free Association." Connor returns, this time with his sister Emily, to share their insights on the Animal Planet series Prehistoric Park. Due to perplexing shipping delays with Canada Post, next week's reviews are up in the air, but whatever turns up you can bet they'll be discussing something interesting. Disclaimer: No animals were harmed during the second taping of this show. We can't account for the first. Enjoy!

Meanwhile, K-Dix discusses the disturbing nature of characters who sing their thoughts in movie musicals like DREAMGIRLS. Our faithful TV investigators tackle the GEORGE LOPEZ show.

Recovering nicely, they touch on the events of September 11; Michelle's flick swap throws her into the world of ROBOCOP and the amazing acting prowess of Peter Weller's mouth; Flashback to the 1960s and explore Barbara Stanwyck, Lee Majors, and Linda Evans in THE BIG VALLEY, a unique TV family sans patriarch; Kent steels himself for next week's flick swap assignment -- SELENA -- ((insert dramatic music here)); and the studio Beagle returns.

The kids are back in school and Kent & Michelle are happy campers! This week's Flick Swap is Maid in Manhattan and Kent gets swept up by the sizzle between JLo and Ralph Fiennes. You can bet there will be many more Chick Flicks on the way. Lucky guy. On the PBS Kids front, Kent calls on the expert testimony of son Connor to assist with reviews of Caillou's Playschool Adventures and Jay Jay's Wing Wigglin' Mystery, while Michelle warns of the potential creepy factor Jay Jay presents for adults.
