In .1 Nikolas, Chris, Jon, and Jay discuss the film of the week, Inception. They cover Christopher Nolan, discuss the ending, and Nikolas gives us the movie as a metaphor for film theory. In .2 the quartet begin with the film's chances at an Oscar, and continue on with more on the director and cast. There are a whole bunch of tangents, including video games, and summer films in general. In .3 is full of deleted scenes. More on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, summer films, and we — for some reason — talk about M. Night Shyamalan. Mostly unrelated to Inception, you can safely skip this.

You'll find out all about it at the end of the first part. It's a USB mic, and it recorded all of us and all ambient noise around us very clearly and perfectly. As a matter of fact, I had a tough time getting rid of the noise (until Audacity came to the rescue). That was before the virus infected my computer for like a week. Anyway, I love Jon's mic and if I could get a non-USB version of it, I totally would. More info on the mic at Musicians Friend. Jon says: I apologize to the audience for my constant jokes about the show's title. I think there's about 12 of them. Nick says: Actually, Nicholas fell asleep before writing anything for this. We're pretty sure he thinks he's Tom Hardy now.

Today's episode brings out the best and worst in Brady and Jay when they argue for almost 12 minutes about Ron Howard's latest entry into the summer movie series, Angels & Demons Jay says: There's still so much more to the show, though, and I'm considering putting it online later on. I never did go into the movie expecting to hate it, by the way. I was hoping it would be a decent movie. Brady says: It was a decent movie! You're just too closed minded, Jay. Admit it. Jay says: I have nothing to admit, except that YOU like BAD movies! Brady says: You saying so isn't enough to make it bad. It's just an OPINION. You need to accept that the movie accomplishes all it set out to do. Kudos to them for a great film. Jay says: Kudos to— A.O. Scott of the New York Times: "the utter silliness of 'Angels & Demons' is either its fatal flaw or its saving grace.... The movie all but begs for such treatment." Betsy Sharkey of the LA Times: "ultimately everything wilts under the weight of the complicated story lines of its many saints and sinners" "And much of what is supposed to pass for dialogue is merely a recitation of fact." W.R. Greer of ReviewsofBooks: "some judicious editing might have made it a tighter and more focused novel" Also, kudos to Ron Howard for showing reverence toward the Vatican—and by association, the Catholic Church—with the ending of the film. Brady makes Jay say (for him*): Kudos to the New York Post for saying, "Angels & Demons has some exciting sequences, a spectacular ending with a terrific twist and a grounding in the debate about science versus religion that could hardly be more timely." And the Star-Ledger says, "Angels and Demons is a truly handsome production." And the book review you took your quote from is actually a glowing review of the book. * Brady currently has no Internet at the moment, which is why I had to write this for him.

Brady, and Jay are joined by contributors Clause (pronounced like Klaus) and Nicholas to discuss what's worth seeing, as well as what's not worth seeing, starting today! Also, Brady's got another podcast; we talk about the swine flu (it was from Tuesday, so things may be outdated); and we think we have a Patricia sighting! Patricia, as you may recall, phoned in to last week's episode with some weird question about loading. Show Notes Brady says: Show was okay. The only other thing I want to mention is that the WSW podcast actually includes contributions from dozens of wrestling personalities. Jay says: And for anyone who cares about Nick's ranting about the Da Vinci Code, go on and read it already! And go check out the other wrestling podcasts at Who's Slamming Who, where Brady does the PWI Weekly.
