00:14:36 – We debate the pacing and emotional impact of Inception.
00:17:31 – Joseph Gordon-Levitt gets some high praise for his work and John plays Casting Agent. Scott also theorizes why Leonardo DiCaprio was cast as the lead.
00:20:24 – Scott brings up a potential plot hole and continuity error, meaning SPOILERS here for Inception. The ending is also heavily discussed, of course. NOTE: Scott’s issue with the film here will be fixed in a future episode.
00:32:13 – We talk a bit about Scott Pilgrim, both the books and the upcoming film. So far, John is not a fan of the source material but is seriously looking forward to the movie.

00:39:15 – Is Michael Bay a better film maker than Christopher Nolan? How is this even a question?
00:42:12 – The new film, Devil reminds John of a 2007 film, Blackout. He made Scott watch Blackout. Scott proceeds to cry tears of blood for the remainder of this episode.

I too had problems getting into the prestige. Immediately I gave up because I didn’t like any of the characters.
With regards to Christian Bale ruining Terminator IV. I haven’t seen the movie but I blame the directors. If they had to change a good script to a bad script to accommodate CB then they should have passed on him as John Connor.
D’oh, I meant “Admittedly”, not “Immediately”
