Influenced by the full moon, The Dixons find themselves resurrecting Flick Swap for Fantastic Mr. Fox, regaling anniversary and birthday stories/plans, review the thinly veiled educational-themed DVD The Magic School Bus: Super Sports Fun, and immerse themselves in Disneyland memories -- from Disneyland: Secrets, Stories, and Magic to their 2009 vacation. Special appearances by Connor and Emily. Have a fun spring break and a relaxing and cuss-free Easter weekend! (Oh, and pay no attention to the weird audio snow that appears two-thirds of the way through.) Email your questions, comments, and suggestions to Kent and Michelle. And be sure to check out their new site at ViewFromTheCouch.com. |

Dave, Mac, Erich, and Mike fill their brainpans with talk of Secret of the Kells, Sons of Tucson, FX's Justified, and the insanity of GI Joe: Season 2.

Erich, Dave, and Tim descend into the depths of Hell. They also discuss the God of War series. (Ba-ding!). To balance things out, Erich gives his first impressions of Pokemon SoulSilver. Is Pokemon ownership akin to slavery? Other games discussed include Heavy Rain, Advance Wars, and Alan Wake. Feel free to join the rest of the junkies in the new Blast Processing! discussion forum. |

It's a TV drought as the Dixons talk new shows and hiatus hell, Rosie taking Oprah's throne, and Izzie leaving Grey's Anatomy... stat! Kent whines about less-than-ideal Captain America casting, and Michelle provides a glowing pre-release review of DreamWork's How To Train Your Dragon and a better-late-than-never review of (500) Days of Summer.

This week, Clark heads down the rabbit hole for a journey into a series of musical wonderlands, spotlighting scores written for four different adaptations of Alice in Wonderland from composers Oliver Wallace, John Barry, Richard Hartley, and Danny Elfman. Plus, Clark expresses his disappointment with Tim Burton's new version of the tale. You won't find out why a raven is like a writing desk, but you will hear some delightful music! Clark welcomes your comments, questions, and suggestions in Sounds and Sights Discussion Forum. |

Dave, Mac, Mike, and Patrick return to Wonderland for an hour of mirth and madness -- reveling in video stores going out of business, trudging through painfully vintage Star Trek, getting schooled by Undefeatable, bunking with the Real Housewives of New Jersey, beset by ninjas, roadtrippin' in the SuperVan, good guys who make "dick moves," legendary fictional TV bands, fictional worlds you would hate to be banished to, and the most important topic of the week: "What is and isn't awesome?" And now you can enjoy the madness all week long on the new Filibuster Facebook page. |

Steve and Adam join Erich for an RPG-heavy first segment. Adam talks Dragon Warrior V (or should that be Dragon Quest V?), Steve splits his time between the Dragon Age: Origins Awakenings expansion pack and Final Fantasy XIII. He likes one but not the other; can you guess which is which? Erich, meanwhile, is still plugging away at Mega Man 10. In the second half of the show, the boys talk about the big news coming out of last week's Game Developer's Conference: Sony's new Move motion controller. Is it a Wii killer, or weak... um... iller? Feel free to join the rest of the junkies in the new Blast Processing! discussion forum. |
