Some found footage on Cloverfield. Is the Star Trek prequel preview promising? The new Turok demo's a dinosaur. Bionic Commando in 2 dimensions. Plus, the boys review The Boys.
This week in Movies:

The enigmatic monster film, Cloverfield has finally been released. Steve knows this must be recorded, so he whips out his camera while Alex, Dan, and Jeff try to survive the attack (and the motion sickness).

Attached to that very same film is the brand new teaser for JJ Abrams' upcoming Star Trek prequel. Does it make the guys want to explore the universe with young Kirk, Spock, and Bones?

This week in Video Games:

Games based on the comic book character, Turok the Dinosaur Hunter, date back to the Nintendo 64, but it has been a while since they've been considered AAA. Alex, Dan, and Jeff check out the demo for the new PS3 Turok to see if it can recapture some of the series' former glory.

The guys have already weighed in on their anticipation for the upcoming 3D Bionic Commando game. But Capcom has even more in store for the series. Bionic Commando: Rearmed is a 2D remake for XBLA and PSN that might be ever more exciting to Totally Rad guys.

This Week in Comics:

One of Dan and Jeff's favorite comic books is The Preacher, by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. One of Ennis' newest projects is The Boys, which he promises will "out-Preacher Preacher". The guys all check out the first trade to see if it fulfills such high expectations. For in-depth discussion of Preacher be sure to watch iFanboy episode 51.

American Splendor artist, Ed Piskor's new self-published comic, Wizzywig, is based on real-life hackers of the late 70's. Alex, Dan, and Jeff let their geek flags fly as they're drawn in to the phone-phreaking adventure.

alex's romantic comedy shaky cam movie

although it wasn't a comedy (intentionally) Gordy Hoffman (lesser known brother oh Phillip Seymour) wrote and directed an indie flick about a bachelorette party gone horribly awry called A Coat of Snow.

Christ was that movie terrible. I had the "opportunity" to see it at our local film fest here in rochester.

I don't think that counts, but there it is just the same.

Loved the Comics opening, so cute. I just ordered Wizzywig, can't wait.
And I totally agree with Alex, I want the nail file thing that you just have to touch your nail and it paints it a new color. Fifth Element was the first Sci-Fi movie the kid ever got to watch. I don't think we go a quarter without watching it.

'Chalk another one up... great show... couple things:

I think the Cloverfield background for this week was very nicely done. Plus, the new comics opening was good and Steve out did himself this week.

In the movie section, I'm on Jeff's side with Cloverfield. It was so intense and I really hope next week that you all are able to talk about it more (spoilers included), since it's been out for two weeks by then. I do think this movie is very interesting in relation to 9/11, and because of that, it works on more than one level. I was really surprised that Dan liked it the least.

Finally, I'm glad to see that Jeff kept his promise about LOST season 3 to the couple of us. As of right now, I'm adding Season 1 Disc 1 of the Shield on my netflix queue.

Again, really fun show this week.

Did anyone else catch the quick little easter eggs in the background, that I'm assuming is alluding to the live TRS show?

Yes Primer is one of my favorite movies ever also. To think how he made it for only $7,000 is almost unfathomable. What's interesting is how in Cloverfield's case $25M is considered low-budget. But those are two very different movies that I enjoyed in different ways.

I never saw Thundaar but when Alex mentioned the gelatinous guys I thought he meant Herculoids at first.
