Dick-tits! What do you think, guys? 0:42:56 - The newest dick-punching, piss-taking trailer for Duke Nukem Forever has Josh all hot and bothered, which may seem strange considering his reaction to the Bulletstorm demo. Josh, explain yourself. 1:00:00 - Intermission! 1:01:27 - Disney has brought their big, corporate axe down on Junction Point, the studio behind Epic Mickey, and cut a huge number of staff members loose.

A geek nation mourns, mostly in the very online forums and message boards that lead to its unsurprising death. 1:18:55 - Spoiler Warning! One of the Fantastic Four is "dead" as of this week, which is mostly useful as serving a point about the death of Wizard Magazine. 1:21:33 - On a similar note, Patton Oswalt wrote a piece for Wired Magazine about the death of geek culture amidst the maelstrom of online resources and dangers of ETEWAF, "Everything That Ever Was--Available Forever" 1:28:24 - Josh makes an easy segue into they heyday of MST3K which leads, somehow, to a discussion about Sunchips. 1:39:24 - Tacos!

Brandon is very passionate about this, despite Josh and Zack not even giving half a shit either way. 0:48:05 - Josh and Zack had a little sit-down the NBC's newest superhero serial, The Cape. What'd they make of it? Here's a hint: one hated it, one thinks it's alright. Guess which is which! 1:03:14 - Intermission! (followed by an update on Zack's foot!) 1:06:33 - So that mysterious cast lineup image from X-Men First Class showed up online, and boy is it wonky.

Boy! 1:21:33 - Chris Evans' Cap is looking truly great, though, especially WWII-era Cap. Painted-on helmet wings!
