And yet, I can’t help but be excited. Comingsoon.net is reporting that one of, if not THE, greatest comedies of all time may be well on its way to getting a sequel. Normally this kind of talk should garner no expectations, but given the facts that 1) writers are apparently on board, and 2) Jim Carrey himself is talking about doing it… “so you’re telling me there’s a chance?!”
I know if Jake could read, he would be quite excited for this as well. Lets just hope we get a lot more Harry and Lloyd! …and a lot less harry and lloyd.
Today on the show, we get down and dirty with backroom dealings and political scandals in our review of The Ides of March! (05:22)

The new Twilight Zone has a director…the writer of Under Siege 2: Dark Territory!
Evil Dead to be reaching for its boomstick once again!
Joss Whedon filmed a portion of the new Avengers with a rotary telephone! (…or his iPhone. Either way, we call shenanigans)
On the upcoming show (Episode 10/22/11) you will hear Jake and I discuss a new commercial which Chipotle is currently running in theaters, prior to the movie previews. I dare you to watch this and not get all sappy. Seriously. $1, on the table:
Somethin’ about the combination of little stop-motion farm animals and Willie Nelson’s perfect pitched voice makes me all happy inside…and then I realize this is a Chipotle commercial.
Today’s the day! After months of prep work, we have finally launched the website. We are recording this week’s show today, so look for it very soon. We also have the last four weeks of shows just waiting to infiltrate your ears. You can find them ready to stream or download in the Show Archives.
So what are you waiting for?! Stop reading this and start listening to some CR!
Today on the show, we strap on our flame throwers and make snow angels with the new release of The Thing! (04:30)
We also project our super-powered teenage angst onto the DVD review of X-Men: First Class! (1:37:39)
Cinema Recon is fed up with the PG-13-inization of movies for the benefit of studio wallets. We also discuss alternative names for the (likely PG-13) fifth Die Hard film, A Good Day to Die Hard!(59:36)

Seattle Superhero Phoenix Jones UNMASKED!!
Shawn Levy to make a new Pinocchio? And 19 other films, apparently.
As discussed in the 10/09/11 show, the headshots for the new Avengers film were recently released to Entertainment Weekly. Amongst our constant laughing, you may have been able to tell we thought Mark Ruffalo’s pic in particular was…amusing. Bottomline, he looks exactly like Derek Zoolander. Don’t believe us?! Check it out:
Uncanny…. If Mark can steer clear of any freak gasoline fight accidents between The Avengers and the eventual Zoolander 2, he may have a starring role in that movie as well.
You can follow this link to check out Superhero Hype’s article containing all the remaining Avengers headshots.
Comingsoon.net reports, courtesy of The Daily Mail, that Lois Lane is Mary Jane from Spiderman. Well not really, but that is the first thing I thought of when I saw these pictures of Amy Adams as Lois Lane on the film set for Man of Steel. In case anyone was curious, Lois Lane will indeed read the newspaper, drink coffee, and walk in this new Superman movie.
Today on the show, we give you our diagnosis of the newly released 50/50! (02:46)
We also flex our man-strength in our review of the DVD release of Win Win! (1:26:27)

And Sad Batman makes a special guest appearance! (1:35:25)
Terminator 5 not moving forward as fast-ly or furious-ly as we once thought?
Update – In the beginning of the show we state that Hesher was released in 2010, which Jake in all of infinite wisdom, questioned! Turns out that 2010 was the Sundance screening date, and its official release was May 13th, 2011.
