Bent - Arts, Film, Books, Tv, Games, Awesome.

LATE. The boys drink up, talk about ComicCon, and review Inception.

What do James McAvoy, Megan Fox, and Spider-Man all have in common? There isn't a single good idea amongst them. Oh, and Trevor reviews Robin Hood.

Trevor chimes in on Spartacus, the boys take a can opener to Iron Man 2, and give early impressions of Fallout: New Vegas.

The boys settle in to rag on Apple and how it's freaking everywhere. They also discuss the new season of Spike's Deadliest Warrior, and give a quick review of Spartacus: Blood and Sand. They also run through their playlists and ask the pointed question, "what the hell is a triangle?"

After eons sailing the cosmos, Kev and Trevor return to tear down Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland with extreme prejudice. Also, Kevin reviews Kick-Ass and is threatened with ass-kickery if he offers spoilers.

In this most excellent return, Kev sacks up to see Twilight: New Moon, and Trevor loses his mind in a battle with Atari over Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Also: New Format! New Website! Awesomeness!

Originally recorded July 20, 2009. It's all about the witches and switches as we review Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Now, what would these shag-happy young wizards use for contraceptives? Magical sheaths? Certainly not Trojans. Send us your ideas at bentcast@gmail.com or post them up on postcritical.wordpress.com.

Originally recorded July 20, 2009. Honestly, what is up with British television? Torchwood: Children of Earth gives us yet another reason to want Russel T. Davies to step in front of a bus. Or at least stop writing for television. Also, we wonder whether or not Prince of Persia will break the trend of shitty video game adaptations. Our thoughts: no.

We're on time again! This week, we review Judd Apatow's latest comedy Funny People and the horror-slasher-flick Orphan.

Entourage returns to wow us with celebrity lifestyle stuff. Real-world celebrities Ryan Reynolds, Natalie Portman, and Kenneth Branagh get in deep with superhero movies as Trevor geeks out about the recent Green Lantern announcement. This episode was recorded a while ago and we've been slack in getting it up.

We run amok with news from Comic-con! We talk about the Iron Man 2 panel, Avatar, and The Book of Eli. Sony Online closes the Matrix Online, but a whole bunch of MMOs are ready to take its place! Also, post-apocalyptic seems to be the name of the game in movies and games with titles like Fury Road, Borderlands, Fallen Earth, Fallout: New Vegas, and STALKER: Call of Pripyat.

Transformers 2 delivers stompy robots and Bayhem, but also racism and disappointment. We also retrospectively review the GameDamage pilot and talk about this upcoming Australian series' future.

A show about bitey nekkid Southern vampires and one about a guy with a massive dong. Kev tries to vice-grip Anna Paquin's teeth together, Trevor threatens electricity and spikes on Southern accents, and we throw back to our E3 podcast to keep talking about game controllers. Is the future in Microsoft's Natal, Nintendo's Wii, or Sony's bastard lovechild of the two? Also, our listeners gave us some ideas about what to do with all those dead bears.

Our heroes review two new comedies this week, Year One (Jack Black and Michael Cera) and the Hangover. They also get attacked by many, many black bears. What should we do with nine dead bears? Let us know at bentcast@gmail.com, in our CBox at bentthepodcast.com or on Facebook.

We get together once again to talk about Pixar's Up and 3D in general. Trevor reviews a book in which a dude makes friends with a bear (amongst other things). Finally, we talk about Terminator: Salvation and how Sam Worthingtom totally showed up Christian Bale and Moon Bloodgood's tits showed up everyone.

In our first Skyped podcast, veteran Trekker Chris joins us to review JJ Abrams' Star Trek. We also discuss the $12M lawsuit against 3D Realms, make buttsex jokes about the new Fallout DLC Mothership Zeta, and recap what has actually been cancelled for the new TV season. Castle's back, so Trevor is happy. Be warned: this episode runs a little long.

The boys get their Trek on and review the Countdown trade paperback, arguing about writing, canon, and the next movie. We spool through the legal bananas of Sweden convicting the Pirate Bay founders, Bethesda suing Interplay over their license to the Fallout intellectual property, and YouTube partnering with movie studios to provide free streaming movies while Viacom sues the crap out of them.

What shows are going to get cancelled? Which shows are going to get renewed? And which ones are we going to bitchslap? We talk about the Sarah Conner Chronicles, Chuck, Dollhouse, Unusuals, Castle, Cold Squad/Case, and Southland. Almost like a season recap, isn't it? Also, we sample some censorship and take a look at the Chuck season finale in order to make some predictions about where it's going next season.

Kevin has become a psychic and psychically reviews the newly leaked Wolverine movie. Psychically. He didn't watch it or anything like that. Trevor goes back on his word to stop reading what rabid fans write about Star Trek XI online and discusses the studio's attempt to do too much. Finally, we watch Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's closing speech at last year's GCAP and talk about the idea of a gaming renaissance and video games as art. Check out all the additional content at http://www.bentpinstudios.ca! You can also email Bent at bentcast@gmail.com.

This week, we get our game on and talk about Max Payne 3 and Fallout 3's DLC expansion "The Pit." Then it's on to TV with Castle, starring Nathan Fillion, ragging on BSG, and the upcoming Stargate: Universe. Finally, we round it out with a slice of movie pie and dish up a review of I Love You, Man. We're calling for audience participation: Why is Kevin a dick? Come up with something awesome and hit us at http://www.bentpinstudios.ca, on Facebook, or at bentcast@gmail.com.
