Cloverfield/Burnout Paradise/Juno

For our 41st episode, the Cowboys were fortunate enough to see Juno a week early. Also up for discussion is the new genre-defying monster feature from Lost and Alias producer J.J. Abrams: Cloverfield.

It’s rare that we get such across-the-board high scores from everyone for two movies in a row, but this is a must-hear episode as we detail the reasons you really do have to see these films.

They form a sandwich around Tony’s in-depth review of explosive racer Burnout Paradise, which has turned the established format of the series on it’s head. Find out if it paid off.

Also included is the first installment of ‘This Week In Gaming’, a new segment where we round up what we’ve been doing in the last week. In the past we’ve left a lot of stuff out because it didn’t fit in neatly for a review, but now we can discuss the demos, trailers and games we’ve been immersing ourselves in and, in many cases, give a closer account of them rather than waiting until they’re finished and doing a review much later. Time will tell if movies, TV or even music will work its way into this spot.

We finish on a miserable piece of delay-related news for European Rock Band fans. However, there is some light at the end of the tunnel… if you have a PlayStation 3 and are a dedicated vocalist like Paul.

Next week we will be discussing films that we should all be showing our children. There is clearly so much rubbish out there that it’s important to have some specific classics lined up to stop them turning into glassy-eyed, text-speaking dimwits.
