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 8: Interview with James Karen, Reviews of Up, Percy Jackson and The Olympians, and The Wolfman
Up. Maybe we’re just a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies who missed the bandwagon, but even so, nothing is going to stop us from putting in our two cents about Up. It’s great! So there.
The Islander is where guests are interviewed by Nancy and asked to pick the ten films they would take with them to a desert island. Nancy’s guest this week is character actor James Karen. Among his many TV appearances are roles on Seinfeld and The Larry Sanders Show, and on the big screen he has appeared in Poltergeist, The Return of the Living Dead, Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster, and many other films.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. What’s the point of being an Olympian if your kid can call you on the carpet for being busy with God stuff instead of being a good parent? The only thing that could possibly be lamer is taking an elevator to Olympus.
The new Wolfman movie is an uneasy mix of yesterday and today. Is it an effort doomed to leave gorehounds disappointed and fans of the original film frustrated?

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.

Nancy’s guest this week is John Wilson, creator of the Razzies, an award that celebrates the worst Hollywood has to offer. Will a Pia Zadora film be among the movies he would take with him?

Let’s hear it for the winners! And if you don’t feel like clapping for them, don’t worry. They’re more than ready to give themselves a round of applause and a standing O. Hey, they deserve it. Duel in the Sun. Lionel Barrymore rides a horse! What else do you need to know?

Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes. Is his performance too edgy, or is it the perfect modern interpretation of a classic character?

Hollywood takes on Red Box and bad Twiter movie reviews.
Ma and Pa Kettle, reconsidered. Although to be honest, we’re not sure these movies have ever been seriously considered. If not, it’s about time they were, and The Cinema Misfits are up to the challenge.

2012 reviewed. Spoiler alert! But to be honest, this thing is pretty spoiler proof. Things fall down and go CRASH! Oops. Did I say too much?
