Team Cap? Team Iron Man? Team Pro Golfer Hawkeye.

They've done it! By George, Marvel has done it! A hot Aunt May! Oh, and they made a great movie! Captain America: Civil War to be precise.
Uncomfortable jokes aside, Ricky sits down with friends of the show Dan O'Shea and Pat Downes, along with newcomer and Scarlett Johansson aficionado Alexa Kelly!
The gang sits down and duke it out. Team Cap vs. Team Iron Man. Joss Whedon vs. the Russo Bros. This Spidey vs. Tobey vs. Skater Dude. Falcon vs. Hawkeye, which bird is best?
We Fight. YOU decide.

RickBusters: Ghostbusters Trailer

I ain't afraid of no reboots! Ricky sits down with brainless, uneducated, feeble bodied, un-house trained, idiot Pat Downes to discuss the new Ghostbusters trailer.
Looks absolutely terrifying. Scariest movie of 2016.
Who you gonna call? Sony's Marketing Team.

Oscars So White. And Male. And Old. And Dumb.

It's Oscar night and that means predictions! The Red Carpet! The Favs are all out! Exclusion and bias and prejudice.
Indeed, this year's Oscars have had a lot of controversy due to its lack of inclusiveness with its nominees, in particular towards films centered by or created by people of color, as well as women in non-acting roles.
Join Ricky with a special guest, Film and TV Scholar, Alicia Carroll in a very informative and engaging discussion about those problems of exclusion, what needs to be and is being done by the industry to resolve them, and what young artists can do to help.
And the two of us also share some of predictions as well.


And be sure to read up on some of Alicia's articles about the Oscars here:

Star Boys - Episode III: The Force Awakens


The final chapter of Star Boys concludes as Ricky, Carlos, and Matt are joined by new Star Boy Amos Stillwell, as they discuss the biggest movie since...ever, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
No topic, issue, criticism goes untouched, as the boy discuss the introduction of new characters, the return of old favorites, the directing style, theories about what's to come next, and of course the BIG scene. You know what we're taking about.
And yes, THERE BE SPOILERS.
But the boys also discuss some more critical questions surrounding the movie:
Does it borrow too much for A New Hope?
Do the practical effects and puppets hold up?
Is Rey a Mary Sue, or are her critics a bunch of unwashed meninists who have never spoken to a woman? (Spoiler: It's the latter)
We go from the opening crawl to gruff Harrison Ford, BB-8, the Muppets, Super 8, Kylo Ren, How Simon Pegg's Daughter Saved the Movie, the New York Mets, Mad Max, George Lucas, Emerson kids we disagree with, Jefferson Starship, Twitter, Michael Giacchino, sand, puppies, and Bill Buckner.
What can we say, but "Now THIS is podcasting!"

Star Boys - Episode II: I Hate Sand (and Prequels)

The Star Boys continue their Star Wars discussion, now focusing on the undesirables - the now infamous prequels.
But are these flicks really just icky, icky poodoo or did audiences miss something?
Well, apparently, because the debate gets more heated than the lava planet Mustafar!
Tune in and hear Matt and Carlos go neck and neck over Episode III while Ricky does his best Liam Neeson, Jar Jar Binks, and a scenery chewing Palpatine!
