It's full-on winter in Alberta, complete with frigid temps, reckless driving, and plenty of time to review DVDs.

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!

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.
