It's Mother's Day so we're joined once again by Margaret's mom to discuss Sex and the City, Lost, and our grudge with our local NBC affiliate. We also talk about some of this week's Cinema Blend scoops and talk about just how far a franchise can change before you're arbitrarily tacking a name on something unrelated to the rest of the franchise.

Iron Man turns out to be a fantastic hit to kick the summer season off, and it brings with it a slew of geeked out trailers. We give our take on those as well as Lost, Scrubs, our sides of the hefty viral marketing debate, and tease a little more about the future of Cinema Blend's podcasting section.

When Sometimes Tim showed up bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived, I knew it could only be one thing - GTA IV, the big competition for Iron Man's official start of the summer movie season. We talk GTA, the summer movie slate, and this week's big news, including the start of The Hobbit, the tone of Dark Knight's advertising, and Hancock gone wrong.

Stop me if you've heard this one: Wolverine takes Obi-Wan to a sex club... No, there's no punchline. That's the premise of Deception, a movie starring Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman. Jackman takes McGregor to a sex club where a new world is unveiled to the former Jedi actor - a world of betrayal, lust, and possibly even murder. Deception comes from first time director Marcel Langenegger, who has more than his share of interesting stories to tell about the movie. Thankfully, he was willing to spend a few minutes with us giving us the lowdown. (Warning: This episode does contain a small amount of profanity).

Margaret takes Rafe's single complaint of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and turns it into a fixation that lasts the entire show. We try not to let one man's bait and tackle hold things up from more serious discussion though, like our take on returning favorite TV shows, the massive firing of New Line Employees, and a comparison of the opinions of online press from the people behind Marvel's summer movies.

For the past three years director Darren Lynn Bousman has made audiences cringe and offered up nightmares with three sequels of the Saw franchise. Now Bousman is moving past his time with Jigsaw (something he says he’s equally glad to have been a part of and glad to be done with) and taking on a project that can only be described as incredibly unique. Bousman recently talked with us about his upcoming film and why he felt the need to do something so unique that it may be beyond marketing (Warning: This episode does contain a small amount of profanity).

This week marks the move to an expanded, sixty-minute show. While we want the added time for movie news, we've also added a brief window for television news as well (although it proves to be a little longer than "brief" this week). Join us as we look at NBC's fall schedule, outline Disney's animation plan for the next four years, and debate whether footage of a faked death should be left in on The Dark Knight

Don’t mistake the fact that we’ve recorded a commentary for the idea that we have anything to do with The Simpsons Movie. We didn’t make it. We didn’t contribute in the least. We’re just fans… well, two of us are at least. Enjoy Margaret grumbling about the movie, Rafe trying to make it look like he knows something, and some of Tim’s bad impressions as you watch Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge, and Spider-pig

We're in the middle of another wave of announced remakes of movies from a bygone era - an age where "dude" was a perfectly good form of expression. We talk about rumors and plans for remakes of Magnum P.I., Bill and Ted, and Short Circuit. Other news includes a recap of April Fools pranks, excitement over Morgan Spurlock's new documentary, and a lot of pauses while we verify anything we say before we say it.

Fans of Fanboys may have called off their potential picket of Superhero Movie. Truth be told, nobody would have noticed since the superhero spoof didn't fare that well at the box office. We give our opinion on Fanboys (don't expect to see it in theaters), fancier theater options, and the latest rumored developments for JLA on this week's show.

Last week we talked about a bunch of new trailers and advertising for movies. This week our review of Shutter leads us down a conversation about the marketing of films and how frequently that's mucking with how well audiences receive films. We spend a lot of time debating whether parody films like the upcoming Superhero Movie are worthwhile, and then talk about developments on the G.I. Joe, Terminator and Narnia fronts. A fully packed 45 minutes!

Posters and trailers were the big news this week, with a lot of this year's most anticipated films coming out with some sort of promotional tool in the last seven days. We give you our opinion on the advertising and how excited we are about movies like The Incredible Hulk, Wall-E, Pineapple Express, and even the direct-to-DVD Lost Boys 2: The Tribe.

Tim rejoins the show for the first time in quite a while. The three of us take a look at Martin Lawrence's latest, express our concern for Patrick Swayze, debate the merits of Michael Clayton, discuss the popular "I'm effing Matt Damon/Ben Affleck" videos, and even find time for Margaret to impersonate half the cast of Seinfeld. Now if we only had video so you could see how much fun we're having.

That's right, we want you to pay to listen to us talk about New Line's new situation, a sequel to an '80s classic, and Margaret's never-ending Gerard Butler lust. We sing and dance too. Donate heavily brothers. Our operators are standing by.

We're back after our week of illness, but it appears the rest of the country has gotten sick, or at least crazy, as the best movie in theaters this week, Definitely, Maybe only comes in fifth place at the box office, behind Fool's Gold. At least we still have the end of the writer's strike to celebrate. Along with our reviews of this week's releases, we discuss how the end of the strike has impacted anticipated projects and how lawsuits are mucking other projects up.
