What did you miss this week? Time to get caught up.
MONDAY: James wonders where all the good video games are. And no, Super Mario Bros. is not good, despite what Alex might try to have you believe.
TUESDAY: Alex tried to get to the bottom of the way the world sees Kanye West – and how Kanye West sees himself – by writing about Kanye’s career, the Runaway music video, and how Kanye’s work has influenced hip-hop.
WEDNESDAY: Alex recommended last year’s Easy A, which is probably the best post-Mean Girls teen movie out there. In the recommendation, Alex also looks at Emma Stone’s career, and how he hopes she doesn’t end up with a career like John Cusack’s.
THURSDAY: We looked at the past, present, and future of movie trailers on the podcast this week. Alex complained about what he doesn’t like about them, James pointed out a few trailers he likes, and Alex explains how a really good trailer (see: Blue Valentine) can render the actual movie redundant.
FRIDAY: Travis follows through on his promise from our comic books podcast and provides us with Part 1 of his live blog of the Ben Affleck classic, Daredevil. Check back on Monday for the thrilling conclusion (featuring Coolio!).
