Square Peg Show

Has this season of The Square Peg Show not had enough reviews for you? Then let us rectify that, with an episode that features 10 reviews in 10 minutes. It's a lean, mean podcast, and hopefully it will leave you with some quality recommendations the next time you're flipping through Netflix. Give us some feedback on Twitter, on Facebook, in an iTunes review, or right here in the comments. See ya next week! PRESS PLAY or DOWNLOAD! Check out the stuff we're talking about!

This episode is all about Game of Thrones season 4's first five episodes. (It doesn't include talk of the sixth episode that aired May 11th.) We go into some of the differences from the books, but nothing past GoT season 4 episode 5. Features returning guest Jill and new guest Jacob! We hope you enjoy the show and drop us a line at the usual places* and tell us how we're doing. PRESS PLAY or DOWNLOAD *Facebook, Twitter, right here in the comments, or hopefully as iTunes review!

In this episode, Jesse and Mike review The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and discuss the career of the recently deceased Bob Hoskins, the first official casting photo of Star Wars VII (and the changes in the expanded universe), and the Zack Snyder 2018 Justice League movie. All this, plus digitally altered siblings, drooling villains, and when actors get drunk on the set just to get through the thing.

The Square Peg Show promotes Controller Freaks by celebrating* and bashing certain video-game movies and movie-based video games, after discussing with our guest Brandon (returning from season one!) some upcoming flicks. All this, plus a pantheon of kaiju, bad director boxing matches, inexplicable weapon-tossing, and practical four-armed guys. PRESS PLAY or DOWNLOAD! [*Although not too much celebrating. Ever noticed the best video-game movies are not actually based on real video games? The Last Starfighter, Tron, Wreck-It Ralph... damn, we already need to do a follow-up episode!] No joke, a few days after we recorded this episode where we mentioned the "myth" of E.T. Atari games in a New Mexico landfill, it turned out to be real. Bizarre. Next up, Roswell... Stuff we mentioned on the show: the music video; Cracked's "Six Insane Sequels That Almost Ruined Classic Movies," and lists of DC animated movies and their great shorts (a lot of those can be found on YouTube; here are the recent Bruce Timm and Darwyn Cooke ones). Can't get that Mortal Kombat theme out of your head? Just feel the overwhelming urge to buy it? We'll just leave this here...

Jill, D., Jesse, and Mike discuss some portrayals of women in movies, television, video games, and comics, ranging from Lucy Ricardo to Ellen Ripley to Amanda Waller to Cersei Lannister. It's a fun episode we hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think at the usual places: Facebook, Twitter, squarepegshow@gmail.com , or right here in the comments.

Will you be going to any other conventions this year? As mentioned below, this is our short podcast to enable us to catch up and plan ahead after a very busy March.

In this show, we discuss the superhero movies released since last we podcasted in 2011 and some of the upcoming supes movies and TV shows. We will be touching on this topic in the coming months, too, because with four interconnected universes in the works (Warner/DC, Disney/Marvel, Sony with Spider-Man and spinoffs, and Fox with X-Men and Fantastic Four), there are a lot of properties active.

It's almost the 4th of July, so fire up the grill, invite your friends over, and put on The Square Peg Show, season 2, episode 5, with our snap judgments on this month's movies at 9:45, like Horrible Bosses, Another Earth, Winnie the Pooh, Cowboys and Aliens, Zookeeper, and Crazy, Stupid, Love. Our long review of X-Men: First Class starts at 37:55, with spoilers at 49:35, while our spoiler-free review of Super 8 is at 58:08. Plus, we've got news discussion at 21:36, including the next big trend in movies (brought to you by Hasbro®), what's next for Ahnald, and the off-again, on-again production of The Hobbit. Sadly, this episode is two weeks late, but our box office weekend discussion is brief and our July preview and reviews are still relevant, unless at this point The Hangover Part 2, Bridesmaids, X-Men: First Class, and Super 8 are distant memories. (We know you've moved on to Cars 2, Transformers 3, and not seeing Green Lantern.) Press play to stream or download the podcast and as always please let us know what you think!

Hey, listeners! Not to rag on our 13 other shows, but going into our second year I think that this episode, a special 46-minute podcast about B-Movies, is one of our best programs yet. From 5:30 to 17:00, our guest Dave goes into the history of B-Movies. At 20:00, we review the cult classic high school punk-rock revenge drama Class of 1984. At 24:37, we go into Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's big homage flick Grindhouse. And at 38:50, we comment on Rodriguez's Machete from last year. All this, plus Sharktopus, hicksploitation, and zombies with social commentary. Download it or press play to stream it! And if you would be so kind, if you listen to us on iTunes, write a review for The Square Peg Show to tell the podcast community what you think! PRESS PLAY RELEVANT STUFFS:

At 35:50, there's Jesse's Movie Collection Adventure, A through F. At 44:10, it's a long edition of the Box Office Retrospective. Has Hollywood already sequelized and remade everything in 1991?

Call us up and leave your impressions of X-Men: First Class, Super 8, or any other movie coming up. Are you more of a Grandma's Boy person or a Grapes of Wrath person? Really, as long as it's related to the show or a movie and it's something resembling words, we'll play it. If you trip up when you're leaving the voice mail, just let us know what to cut.
