Join the Misfits for an evening at the Oscars — or anyway in front of a big screen TV, watching the Oscars. All the predictability and tedium of the original three and a half hour show in less than a third of the time. It’s a show Lou enthusiastically describes as “nice.”

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 7: Oscar Predictions, Edge of Darkness, Legion, and Trailers! (plus bonus audio clip)
Trailers. The Misfits take a look at some coming attractions that just keep on coming and coming and… 6 ‘n 90. Da man reviews six films in ninety seconds! Bonus audio clip. Early last summer, in another incarnation, the Misfits attempted to predict which 10 films would be nominated for Best Picture. Do the hits outnumber the misses? Listen and find out. Edge of Darkness. Mel’s back–but for how long? Would a better pick for his return to the screen have been a buddy movie–maybe with a beaver as his buddy? Legion. Angels without wings. The human race without a future. Dennis Quaid without career options. Without the benefit of a crystal ball or tea leaves, the Misfits do their best to predict the Academy Award winners.

Why, Oh Why?
Every now and then, the mad geniuses at the Motion Picture Academy drop a little bombshell of an announcement: The 82nd Academy Awards to feature TEN nominees! Ten nominees? Heck. I can barely remember what the top five are every year. Plus, can you imagine how bloated the already over-bloated Oscar ceremony will be with, not five, but ten Best Picture nominees? Oh, good lord, kill me now.

Bazooka Joe: The Movie? (plus audio rant)
With the announcement of Bazooka Joe: The Movie, it’s become horrifyingly clear that the problem with Hollywood isn’t that it’s run out of ideas. It ran out of ideas a long time ago. The problem is, Hollywood doesn’t even know what an idea is anymore. Brace youself for a look behind the scenes at what passes for the thought process in Hollywood these days.
