In this episode, Tony and Adam drink your milkshake; they drink it up.
Just a reminder, the name of the show is changing. We don’t have a date set, but we’ll soon be changing the name of the show to Backseat Producers. If you are an artist who might be able to help out with some of the art for the new site, please send an email to tony at fanboysmackdown dot com.
We talk about There Will Be Blood, the 4th in our series of Best Picture Academy Award Nominated films. During the break, Holden and Tony discuss the movie Iron Man.
Just after the break, we peel back the curtain. Normally when we take a break we BS for a few minutes, refill our drinks, etc. This time we discuss a few things that are coming up in the podcast and some thoughts on other films. This conversation was not intended to be aired, but while editing, Adam thought it would be fun to leave this chat in there. It’s fun and even more casual than the episode proper. We didn’t make a mistake leaving it in there… we know… it’s on purpose… enjoy it.
We follow up our discussion of the film and discuss our thoughts about watching this character’s life arc from his humble beginnings through out his life.
Also, we’ll do a feedback show just before we do the name change, If you have any comments or questions for us,
Send email to tony at fanboysmackdown dot com or adam at fanboysmackdown dot com

Promo: Chasing the Bard (Hi, Pip!)
Herein we chat about the kick off to Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica.
There is drinking and swearing and spoiling. Kinda like the bar that the pilots all hang out at.
Phil from The Red Earth Saga and Melina join Adam and Tony for this recording that took place mere minutes after watching the episode the night it premiered.
Tony, Adam, Phil, Paul, Jake and (Grungy)Dan went to the movies Saturday afternoon. Then they went back to Fanboy Smackdown’s satellite studio and raided the beer fridge. Then the microphones went live.
This is the result.
This is a wild show and we had a great time talking about the new film Forgetting Sarah Marshall. We had an even better time teasing Phil, drinking beer and swearing.
Tony and Adam discuss the past and proposed future of John Carpenter’s Escape From New York.
During the course of the episode they also discuss how the feel of Escape from LA differed from Escape From New York and how they each speak to the era in film when they were produced.

In this newly recorded episode… You read that right, this one is brand-spankin’ new! … we welcome a new host to the show.
Adam is an experienced podcaster and a welcome addition to the show.
Our way of welcoming Adam is to put him on the spot and discuss all five of the Harry Potter movies. We talk about the relationship to the novels and do get quite spoilery with the films, and after the break, the books too.
We are still running a contest for the DVD of Song of the Dead. To enter, email fanboysmackdown at gmail dot com with the subject ‘Contest’ and put your address in the body of the email.
This is a Region 1 DVD, so please make sure you have a Region 1 player before entering.
