Dave, Mac, Erich, and Daryl are decked out in their finest awards season formal wear for the annual Buster Awards, honoring their favorite and least favorite choices in such esteemed categories as... Villain Death, Action Scene, Guilty Pleasure, Lamest Hero, Longing for the Mayan Apocalypse, Biggest WTF Moment, DVD or Blu-ray Release, Television Series, Movie of the Year, and a very special Ambush Topic.

Patrick and Erika spend Christmas talking marriage, family, Megan Fox's boobs, and Judd Apatow's latest film This is 40.

The trio of Steve, Jon, and Gabe foolishly attempt to tackle the testosterone-fueled filmography of Dutch director Paul Verhoeven. If we never hear from them again, you'll know why.

The boys ring in the Mayan Apocalypse, as Mac devours Futurama: Volume 7, Daryl savors Sherlock: Series 2, Erich survives The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Blu-ray) marathon, and Dave adores The Hobbit (Sorry haters. We're talking serious love affair here). Reviews of The Legend of Neil: Complete Series and Ultra Seven: The Complete Series. Plus! Town slogans, Movie-related holiday wrapping paper, Post-apocalyptic living, and Least likely Star Trek Into Darkness villain.

Armed with the knowledge gained from his review of the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection (Blu-ray), Patrick enlists the help of JB to observe and mutilate director Sacha Gervasi's biopic Hitchcock. Mother! Oh God, mother! Blood! Blood!

This week, Clark continues his look back at 2012 by spotlighting music from the sci-fi and fantasy films of the past year. You'll hear selections from John Carter, Prometheus, The Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel's The Avengers, Total Recall, The Hunger Games, Wrath of the Titans, Snow White and the Huntsman, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Looper and Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part II.

Skyfall helps Melissa celebrate the career of Dame Judi Dench, as Michael is enchanted by Ang Lee's Life of Pi. Awards season gets underway with announcements for the Golden Globe and SAG nominations. The Hobbit breaks December box office records but is falling short of business and fan expectations. TV gears up for Christmas. Broadway remounts Pippin. TNT gives JR Ewing a funeral. Johnny Depp becomes a sentient supercomputer for Christopher Nolan. And despite a new trailer, we are no closer to uncovering the true identity of Benedict Cumberbatch's villain in Star Trek Into Darkness.

The Sounds and Sights of Cinema's Clark Douglas joins the boys for an all-star hour of entertainment lunacy. Daryl remembers why Freaks and Geeks derailed in its home stretch. Mac is intrigued by the resourcefulness of Anna Karenina. Erich revisits extended Middle Earth in preparation for The Hobbit. Dave discovers a forgotten '80s movie that stands toe-to-toe with Gymkata and Psycho Kickboxer. Reviews of This is 40, The Bourne Legacy (Blu-ray), Star Trek TNG: Season 2 (Blu-ray), Paradise Lost Trilogy, Miami Connection (Blu-ray). Plus! Underground lakes, Cartoons that should never be made into live-action movies, Memorable basketball scenes, TV casts shakeups, and Bad trailers for good movies.

It's Ho-Ho-Horror, as Santa Patrick and his F This Movie! elves stuff your digital stocking with their commentary for the most disturbing Christmas film ever put to celluloid, Silent Night, Deadly Night. Happy Holidays!
