Episode 20: Astro Boy / Dirty Work

Filed under Reviews, Site Updates

This week we decided to review Astro Boy and Dirty Work instead of Where The Wild Things are.
I know, we keep on not reviewing the movie picks we say we are, but our schedules keeps on getting messed up, and in an attempt to keep the movies reviewed down to at least the weekend they’re out, we’re going to change things up a bit. So for now, we’re only going to flip over the DvD pick, and the theater pick will be one of the new releases that weekend that we were able to make it to.

So this time we saw the new Astro Boy movie, and we have some corrections to make. Dave and Mikey stated that they thought that the original Astro Boy started some time in the 70s, however it turns out that his original appearance was in 1951, and his show first aired in 1963.

Here’s a link to the Wikipedia article on Astro Boy, and his creator Dr. Osamu Tezuka.

We’re going to try in the future to do more research on our movies to prevent further mistakes like this from happening. This podcast is an ever growing process, and we’re happy that you are all here to be a part of it.

As always, thanks for tuning in, and thanks for remaining in the Legion.

Episode 19 Zombieland/Shaun of the Dead

Filed under Reviews

Rapid fire!
We’ve got episode 19 out right away as we said we would…
BRAAAAAINS!
It’s an all zombie week as we tackle two movies in the new category of “Zomedies” (Zombie Comedies) and also try to get back into the groove of things. Mikey and Dave are back… hopefully on a semi-regular basis.
Anyway, enjoy the review of Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead

Also, there is an art competition that Mikey entered, and did not make the final cut. However, he still wants you to vote! His preferred vote for you to make is for one Daniel Araya, but vote for whomever you think really did the best job.
