This week\u00a0The MacGuffin Men\u00a0covered all your pop culture\u00a0bases. We discussed movies (gasp!), comic books, comic\u00a0 book movies, television, music, sports (real and fake), and even created\u00a0some original video content.\u00a0 Awesome, right?<\/em><\/p>\n

MONDAY: With Friday Night Lights coming to an(other) end, Alex\u00a0compiled tons of good<\/a> things to remember it by: interviews, links, montages and, most importantly,\u00a0hopes that this really isn’t the end either.<\/p>\n

TUESDAY: James looked at Batman’s tough but interesting\u00a0 journey <\/a>to be in a mature film for adults (not batporn)\u00a0the way it was meant to be. He highlighted the\u00a0moral panic that accused of Batman & Robin\u00a0of a homosexual relationship and\u00a0led to the campy 1960’s Adam West Batman dynasty.\u00a0You can also learn\u00a0why\u00a0Batman Returns was viewed by the studio who made it as a failure despite being very good and making more than its budget back.\u00a0And\u00a0if you were ever wondering what they were\u00a0considering before they decided on Batman Begins with Christopher Nolan, James has described the alternative projects they were working on, which were even\u00a0more violent, dark, sexual and depressing than what we got.<\/p>\n

WEDNESDAY: Alex hit us two times with a double recommendation <\/a>this week. Two different but great projects by Rian Johnson are discussed when he hipped us to Brick and The Brothers Bloom. Alex also looked at the Odd Future Wolfgang Kill Them All<\/a>, why the unique is causing controversy, and why it shouldn’t matter.<\/p>\n

THURSDAY: The Macguffin Men continued their sports podcast trilogy with Part 2<\/a>, which some are positively comparing to Empire Strikes Back.\u00a0 This one is all about the business side of sports so it’s what you’re looking for in you’re interested in the business of sports, superteams like the Heat, advertising and the current NBA\/NFL lockout situations.<\/p>\n

FRIDAY: Alex swung by Songs & Cigarettes and\u00a0shared some of his thoughts on road trips<\/a>, as well as a video he shot and edited of his most recent one. Guest contributor Rebecca also debated whether or not it’s more impotant to kick it in the front seat or backseat on a road trip. Get it? Because it was about road trips and posted on Friday? Oh. Those jokes aren’t cool anymore? And haven’t been for weeks? Noted. My apologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
