The A3U Dark Knight Review!
Or: Bat Babble!

We've all been waiting for the sequel to Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and here it is! Will it live up to all the hype it's been getting? Will Heath Ledger's last performance deliver the goods? Will Christian Bale talk in his Cookie Monster voice again? We dish the goods on what promises to be THE movie to see this summer... but can it live up to our expectations?

Hellboy II Movie Review
Or: Guillermo's Newest Movie Gets the Once Over!

New to theaters is Hellboy 2, a rip roaring, comic book adventure movie and sequel to the blockbuster that came out a couple years ago. But is it any good? You may like to know what you have in store for yourself before entering the theater and that's where we try to squeeze ourselves in. Between you the innocent movie goer and the great cinematic unknown. We won't pander, but we also won't get too high on our horses and hopefully, you'll be able to glean some sort of insight into whether or not this is the movie for you. There is a brief run down of what books you need to read for Hellboy and why you can skip some if you want.
Adding to that, we've also uploaded bonus material to cover some of the figures and statues released to coincide with this flick and some of the stuff to look out for in the future.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Bla Bla Review!
So the new Indy flick is out and we pick it apart. Come on people! Who really thought this would be that good? EVERYONE had doubts and rightly so! But the question remains; just how bad was it? Is there anything worth seeing? Has digital technology ruined even the most holy of cinematic grails? Have Lucas and Spielberg exceeded our expectations or have they drowned in a sea of senility? Well I'm not saying here, so click the little download button and find out for your self. Besides, isn't better to hear us curse live? As a bonus track we also added a little something for all the ladies out there as well everyman secure in his sexuality; a short, impromptu review of the Sex In The City movie. As we finish our Indy 4 review, my wife comes in fresh from seeing it and tells us what she thinks. Well, "waste not want not" we thought, so we added it on. Enjoy.

Tony Todd Interview!
While we were at the 2008 Crypticon we had a chance to grab an interview we had been trying to work out since last October! Mr. Tony Todd, the Candyman himself was kind enough to set aside some time for us to get the interview we wanted! He's on 24 now, he has numerous projects on the go and has been in so many wicked shows/movies that I think I need not list them! It should also be noted that during this interview there are a couple of guests that pop up, so keep your ears peeled. ...Can ears peel?

Emerald City Comicon: An Overview
Back from the recent Comicon on the north west coast, A3U relives our greatest triumphs and our worrisome moments of weakness for those of you who were unable to attend. Many sights were seen, many stories were shared, and through heartships untold, we fought our way here beyond the goblin city to take back the child David Bowie had stolen. (For all legal purposes it should be stated that David Bowie has never, to the best of our knowledge, stolen any children outside the realm of fantasy. Perhaps it should also be stated that we have no fantasies that correlate to such heinous acts. ...not that David Bowie is heinous...) Enough! Download and enjoy. There was much mirth and many friends to be made! Many prizes awarded and now; pods to be cast. Good Night and Good Luck.

Iron Man Review!
Or: Sit And Listen While We Tell You What To Think!
So Iron Man's out there and you're thinking about going to see it, aren't you? Or you're definitely going to see it, but you wonder what's in store for you. Perhaps you've already seen it and have been chomping at the bit to see what Spence thinks. Yes, I think that must be it! Well wait no further my little devotees, A3U is in the house and ready to drop the knowledge... or at least some very opinionated opinions. Find out whether it was a stinker or smelled of sweet roses. Either way, the court is in session Favreau, and your baby is on the stand!
Log in afterwards to download the bonus features! Get the dirt on the toy line by Hasbro! Oh crap! That just gave it away, didn't it? ...well maybe if they got it right one of these days!

Masterpiece Theatre!
Or: The Seeds Of The Masterpiece Lie Buried In the Podcast!
I hope you're reading this people, because you really want to! We recorded a comprehensive run down of all the Masterpiece Transformers ever released! It was an arduous journey fraught with peril and hardship, but in the end we triumphed! We sat on the Lord of the Rings of the Podcasts! Clocking in at an hour and ten minutes, we sat back and thought: "What the shit? Isn't that kinda long?" Well yes, it is, so we decided to cut this down some. But what about the hardcore Transformer fan who wants all this knowledge? What about the toy collector thirsting for all the juicy tidbits? Well we have an answer for you loyal listeners, and it's a good one. If you only want to check out the rundown at thirty minutes, you're welcome to do so. It still covers all the figures in the line and isn't short on laughs. If, however, you want to undertake a journey of epic proportions and unleash the full insanity that is the A3U - all the detail, minutia and nit picking, then log in, download the bonus content that houses the full uncut version, and prepare your brain for penetration!
Ahhh... Once again, A3U delivers like the paperboy!

30th Anniversary Star Wars Re-Cap!
Or: Attack of the Return of the Revenge of the Hopeless Podcast Phantoms Striking Back!!!
Okay, it's the 30th Anniversary right? Thirty years since Luke was targeting Womprats in his T16 back home, right? Well since then, Star Wars has become a multi million dollar franchise with two trilogies, books, comics, toys, video games and more filthy creatures (that I can't abide) eager to get as much as they can get their greedy little hands on! Knowing this, the A3U Podcast crew decided to take a look at the state of Star Wars affairs and recap much of the stuff that has been coming out, giving our two bits worth at every step!
Take a deep breath Lucas... here we go!

A3U Review: The Mist!
Or: A3U Guerrillas in the Mist!
If you're thinking about seeing the Mist, but are unsure whether it's worth it, check out our review! We talk about casting, effects and compare it to Stephen King's original novella. Sure the gobbledy gook opinions of three yahoos don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world, but this is our hill and these are our beans!
Seriously though check it out! The first half is our review before you see the movie and then there will be a break before we discuss the ending and reveal all kinds of spoilers. You should listen to the second half after you've watched the movie!

Final Showdown
Or: Hell-O-ween Episode V
Or: Jason Vs. Freddy Vs. Pinhead
With so many topics, characters, franchises and what not within the horror genre, we had to choose one more topic before our two mystery guest interviews. With such nefarious characters we thought the only proper way to decide who would get to be the topic would be to let them fight it out! So get ready to rumble with Jason, Freddy and Pinhead. One shall stand, two shall fall!!
