Dave and Mac are triumphantly reunited, following Mac's diabolical computer crash three weeks ago. Sadly, this unfortunate setback booted Mac's Vampire/Dragon novel out of the "Write a novel in one month" contest. On a happier note, the boys spend this episode dissecting Bob Zemekis' BEOWULF in 2D and 3D and the quirky new documentary THE KING OF KONG; suffering the wasteland of new television due to the writer's strike; Mac's take on Cartoon Network's live-action BEN 10 movie; and perusing the upcoming releases for December 4th, including PIRATES 3, SUPERBAD, NANNY DIARIES, 24: SEASON 6, and BSG: SEASON ONE in HD. While it may take them a couple episode to regain their groove, Ambush Topics like these will carry them through: Hammers on film; Creatures with more than one head; Memorable tentacles; Who wins in a tag team cage match between Aragorn & Boromir and Inigo & Westley? You make the call. Enjoy!

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.
