    Glad you're back: intelligent conversation about films I haven't seen, and probably won't see for a long time!

    Gareth - Almost sure you're going to refer to Zodiac every week just to remind me how much I disliked it. But I'm glad you picked up on Blue Thunder being a Roy Sheider highlight. (I'd left the comment on your previous post in-between downloading ep 13 this morning and actually get time to listen to it (parked up in Armagh with a hour or so to spare on The Mall!)

    Jett - Airwolf's quite second rate (though longer running) compared to the Blue Thunder film (itself, much less cheesy than the spin-off TV series). And the ending of Blue Thunder's great. Time you rented the DVD!

    Now back to reading in the dark ...

    Well done, gentlemen.

    I wondered why Chigur didn't kill Tommy Lee's character in the hotel room, when TLJ went back to the room to investigate after Brolin's character had been found dead.

    I wasn't clear when watching the pic exactly what was going on in that scene - my take at the time was that we were seeing 2 different times overlapping - with Chigur back at the room in an earlier time frame - but am not sure - would have to see it again.

    Ah ... The Film Talk: intelligent comment on a film I'll get around to seeing for ages! Welcome back to ages.

    Gareth - I've an awful feeling you're going to keep mentioning Zodiac every week to remind me how much I hated it!

    But glad to hear the shout out for Roy Scheider's Blue Thunder. I left the comment on your previous Scheider post inbetween downloading this episode and getting time to listen to it last night.

    Jett - time you rented a copy of Blue Thunder from your "local" online DVD postal service to discover that helicopter shows aren't all about the action. It has a great finale.

    Blue Thunder (film) > Airwolf > Blue Thunder (TV spinoff)

    Do you do requests? Want to hear your views on Juno next week? Think Jett and Gareth will have different takes on it, and it's been out long enough that Spoilers Ahoy won't be needed.

    Jett - my wife said the same - but I thought you could see TLJ's reflection in the blown-out door knob, as seen from Chigur's perspective inside the room - both were kind of looking down at the knob...my recollection anyway.

    Alan - OK, I'll put 'Blue Thunder' on my Netflix queue!

    + Phi, I just don't know, will have to see it again!

    Hey guys, glad you're back. I was, unfortunately, having trouble understanding Dr. Gareth on the recording. The audio wasn't very clear and I really had to strain to figure it out. What's going on?

    Sorry bout that - Gareth and I have talked about how to improve the audio over Skype - while that's being worked you'll be happy to know that we recorded the show 'in person' this week! :) So you'll hear Gareth and I hopefully a bit better.

    Hey guys.

    A+ for effort on the headphones, even if it didn't work out as expected. Too bad about the rapscallion.
