We'll admit it - Woody Harrelson has very little to do with this week's podcast, but when you find a picture of him looking like a madman, you can't pass it up.

We credited Eli Roth with the creation of the “torture porn” sub-genre of movies - a subsection of film where creative and graphic ways of torturing victims on screen superseded plot or character development. I think it’s time to give Roland Emmerich credit for the disaster porn sub-genre.

I’ve talked before about the value of marketing a movie through an appropriate release date. Capitalizing on a good release date can mean a lot of free marketing for a movie, especially if a studio can somehow get a close association between that release date and public awareness of the movie.

For the first time in a few weeks, we have new reviews to talk about, with Disney's A Christmas Carol and The Men Who Stare at Goats in theaters. Up is headed for DVD/Blu-ray this week which has us excited.
