We're definitely bangin' the nails. Nit Picket Podcast #54.
Why would anyone in their right mind fuck with Mel Gibson's family? It never ends well for the kidnappers or their knees/skulls, for that matter. This week Aaron and I are discussing the new "gimme-back-my-daughter" revenge/thriller, Edge of Darkness starring Mel Gibson. I take another RomCom bullet and take a gander at When in Rome, starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel. In the world of trailers we discuss Cemetery Junction and we finish out the episode with a big ol' spoiler filled discussion of the Lost season premiere. Do you know what the hell is supposed to be happening? Where the hell is Walt!?

RIP J.D. Salinger. Nit Picket Podcast #53
God, as always, is disappointed with his tiny creations and has sent Angels to destroy all of humanity unless Dennis Quaid and Tyrese Gibson can put a stop to his divine destruction. This week Aaron and I discuss the ultra dark comedy from Bobcat Goldthwait, World's Greatest Dad, starring Robin Williams and Daryl Sabara. I also took a bullet for the team and checked out, Legion, a new "the-world-is-gonna-end-unless-we-save-this-baby" action film. We also take time to discuss the trailers for Cyrus and MacGruber, and then finish up by giving some Netflix Watch Instantly recommendations. Sorry for all the cursing. Blame Legion.
