We introduce a new segment called “The Devil’s Advocate.” Hear us argue about the following topics:

Star Wars TV series: What is R2D2 hiding amongst his gadgets?

“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull:” Does Spielberg still have his mojo?

“Cloverfield:” Is J.J. Abram’s monster flick going to be just another Godzilla, or will a fresh approach save it?

“Iron Man:” Did Favreau pull Downey Jr. out of Promises to play an alcoholic?

Also, we try to make heads or tails of the Oscar movie season in our “Oscarbation” segment. What is right and wrong with the current Oscar format? Should popular movies like “300” get nominated?
