Segments

It has been 12 years since James Cameron released a major motion picture, and Alex, Dan, and Jeff explain why the release of his newest is no less than an historic occasion. Indeed, the entire movie segment is devoted to Avatar this week, with an extended review by all three guys, and context as to why both the technology and content of the film make it a titanic geek event.

But have no fear! The guys keep this one spoiler-free!

Pandemic Studio was sadly closed this year, and its last project has just been released. The Saboteur is an open-world adventure set in Nazi-occupied France, with all the trappings of a AAA title. The guys discuss whether it is a fitting swan-song for the studio.

The cult TV series, The Prisoner, has been remade as an American miniseries by AMC, starring Ian McKellan and Jim Caveziel. Alex, Dan, and Jeff check out the new Prisoner to see if it's worth apprehending.

As the holidays approach, the guys have been looking back fondly on toys from their childhood. Last week's Raised on Rad segment prompted one viewer to recommend the new BBC show, James May's Toy Stories, and what do you know, it is featured in this week's TV segment.
