We gain access to the Forbidden Kingdom and bring our PSPs to play God of War, Crisis Core, Patapon, and Locoroco. Plus, a day at the Renaissance Pleasure Fair!
This week in Movies:
For the first time ever, kung fu superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li are in the same movie! Alex, Dan, and Jeff get whisked away to the Forbidden Kingdom and decide if the experience lives up to the double billing.
It looks like Akira Kurosawa's classic, Seven Samurai is going to be remade. Alex and Jeff haven't even seen the original and still think this might not be a good idea.
This week in Video Games:
Alex, Dan, and Jeff have had a week with their new PSP handhelds, and they've gone crazy trying out a bunch of games. God of War: Chains of Olympus, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Patapon, and Locoroco all get the Totally Rad trreatment.
Plus:
The guys travel back in time to the age of kings, knights, and giant turkey legs by visiting the Renaissance Pleasure Fair.

"I don't read comic books. I never have, may in the future but I'm not particularly planning on it.
That being said, I still enjoy seeing them reviewing them because their reviews are a form of art. It may not be the most artistic art, but damn is it funny sometimes. Also, the more I see, the more I get to know them, and that's the essence of the show, uniting people through common interests."
Before TRS I had read maybe 3 comic books ever. I knew they were out there and that I would probably enjoy them, but I just never took the plunge, likely due to fear of the snowball effect. I was right to be afraid since after TRS I've read at least 20 trades (plus the 13 issues of Buffy so far) with at least 20 more in my immediate future. Hmm, maybe I do hate the comic book segment, but for far different reasons than that guy...

I bet there was some good stuff there! :)
Yeah, I'd have to say that someone has, perhaps, drastically misunderstood TRS on the most basic of levels, and would probably be more suited watching a different show. May I suggest AOTS? They've got a "Women of the Web" segment that might be just the thing. ;)
What do you think? Too cynical?

Why go to AOTS for girls? He can stay in network and check out Gator's Gals on Internet Superstar!

I care about video games, movies, TV and I've always liked comics, but never been big into them, the guys rekindled my interest. That being said ;) I love the non-review segments too.

Apparently you think that reviewing video games, comic books, and TV shows is "crap" so I find myself asking: Why do you watch at all? For the movies? The occasional off-green-screen segment?
The point of the show is that they talk about things they are interested in and passionate about, and then they let us watch. Beyond that, I don't know what else to say.

1) I care about both Video Game and TV reviews
2) I don't care about comics, but some people do.
3) They talk about what they like, i.e. Movies, Tv, Video Games, Comics, etc. Why cut out something they like and that the show is based on?

Why not just drop video game reviews... or comic book/tv reviews and focus on what you guys are good at. The remote stuff is fun. I like when you guys shoot stuff outside the "garage/studio". Why even try to review TV or Comics? Does your audience even care about TV? And iFanboy does a much better jobby job on comics. I love the show but it'd help if you guys cut out some of the crap. It's like on TEKZILLA when they get these crazy super long questions and they don't pare them down. What audience member actually cares about 9/10ths of the questions or answers. The questions are so long on that show that I fast forward through them... I've started doing that with TRS's comic/book/or TV reviews. IMO, of course.

So if they got 4 PSPs...do we get to hear any of Steve's thoughts, too?

I'm delighted the guys got PSPs. I use mine for business trips and while I do agree about everything Alex said (its hard to pick it up when you're at home with other forms of entertainment) it comes into its own in a big way on planes/in airports/trains etc.
This was the first ep I watched in HD (I dont think you can get a high quality via itunes and I normally watch on my iphone) but it was hilarious as I noticed Alex's locks had been trimmed (possibly by Kevin??) a little closely.
Also glad theres a donate button too - this makes so much sense and more web businesses need to do this. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
