Dave and Mac return to the island of Lost and find themselves understandably confused. Dr. House becomes a "super-jackass." Battlestar Galactica barrels towards mutiny, as Adama pounds the Viagra. A preview of Liam Neeson in Taken, a film that played Europe and Asia more than a year ago. Mac teases his DVD review for City of Ember. Dave digs the slick thriller known as Amusement. The premiere DVD release for February is Krav Maga: Personal Protection. Bad guys love to ski. Favorite Emilio Estevez performances. Films and TV shows even better when transplanted into space. The best of Man vs. Beast. Email your comments, questions, or suggestions to Dave and Mac. |

Dave, Mac, and Erich join forces to discuss the (spoiler free) season premiere of Lost, the spoiler-challenged premiere of Battlestar Galactica complete with Dave's recent interview with showrunner Ron Moore, the new season of 24, Mac's review of Kyle XY: Season 2, Dave's reviews of Max Payne and a Japanese bear attack flick, and such memory jarring subjects as time travel gone awry, scenes with lava where the character should have died, and films or shows that would make lousy video games.
