I believe this sums up my feelings on the delayed posting of the podcast –

Thanks for the new episode fellas.
Posted by Lars Von Tired on May 11th, 2011Thanks for sharing Lars Von Tired. My response to the delay is a bit different.

Get him on next week if you can! I (and the world) NEEEEEEDS to hear his thoughts on Thor!
Posted by Henrik on May 12th, 2011yyyeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Posted by mike v on May 12th, 2011wow the late posting of this really got to me this week been checking my feed several times a days… but thanks very much…
Posted by Mavi on May 12th, 2011yeeeeeeeyyyyy… finally!
Posted by anton on May 12th, 2011Do you guys even listen to the podcast? Sean said for now on the podcast will be posted later than usually. Calm Down
Posted by Gord on May 12th, 2011Finally!
But did you guys ignore all the Junk Mail sent last week? I know I also sent some shortened episodes – and I understand not playing them because more than two of them on the same show is a little too much – but the mailbag still felt kind of empty this week.
Posted by Kent on May 12th, 2011Black Knight isn’t a movie, it’s a film.
Posted by Jason Martynowski on May 12th, 2011Kent: We’ll play yours next week, we just had to cut the junk mail a bit short this time around.
Posted by Sean on May 12th, 2011Henrik, The Warriors Three tried to get together for a special Thor episode of the Macho Movie Review, but unfortunately The Norns conspired against us.
Posted by Wintle on May 12th, 2011Neal’s voice mail is just amazing.
Posted by Kent on May 12th, 2011This was my reaction when I saw there was a new episode of Filmjunk….

Posted by Glen on May 12th, 2011Well if you guys thought that the biggest threat in Thor was Odin dying. Sorry to tell you guys but, its called the Odin sleep, Odin goes into a 24 hour sleep every winter I think. Don’t quite remember the details but he would’nt have died. But he is vulnerable. And Thor would never have been king, so that whole coronation thing is pretty pointless. Maybe they would’ve changed that for the movie, but yea thats not gonna happen.
Posted by Kurei Scott on May 12th, 2011I don’t like it when Greg is not around.
Posted by kyri on May 12th, 2011I don’t like it when I’m not around either. Duty calls sometime. Ha! Doody.
I haven’t listened to the show, but here are my thoughts on Thor:
Love story was weak and unbelievable. “Hi, I’m a strong woman who’s also a brilliant scientist. Oh look a man with muscles. I’m in love.” Bullshit.
Character development was piss poor.
Too much downtime and not enough hammer fighting.
Costumes were good and the battles were fun.
2 out of 4. Come on Marvel…don’t let me down with Cap’n America.
Posted by Greg on May 12th, 2011Woohoo! Thanks Sean.
I advise the rest of you guys to watch FAST FIVE. It’s a blast. Completely ridiculous but fun.
Posted by dday on May 12th, 2011I’m totally psyched for Abendland. Sounds like an urban Sweetgrass. I absolutely loved Our Daily Bread.
Posted by Mason on May 12th, 2011Can someone please explain to me where I can listen to all the episodes before episode 80?
Posted by Jalen on May 12th, 2011I haven’t listened yet but if Greg is not on it – it’s substandard.
It’s like taking the red kidney beans out of Habitant’s minnestrone soup. I didn’t like them at first but they’re a nice compliment to the pasta (Frank) and vegetables (Jay).
Wintle – I HAVE to ask – The pic on your avatar – WHAT IS IT, OR WHO IS HE ?
Thanks all.
Posted by Lars Von Tired on May 12th, 2011That guys voicemail is fucking horrible. The way he talks “funny” makes me cringe. Please die whoever you are.
Posted by Kasper on May 12th, 2011No wonder we never get any voicemail.
Posted by Sean on May 12th, 2011One more question what is Jay referring to when he says “This is definitely a buy”?
Posted by Jalen on May 12th, 2011This is the video Jay is referring to, which was also played on the podcast a few weeks ago:

The old episodes should still be available here:

Posted by Sean on May 12th, 2011Britney sounds like a bitch.
Posted by Marcus on May 12th, 2011“Hi, I’m a strong woman who’s also a brilliant scientist. Oh look a man with muscles. I’m in love.” Bullshit.
Yet true.
Posted by kyri on May 12th, 2011Britney just needs to let her guard down a bit and allow herself to be touched by the magic of magic.
More specifically, she needs to allow herself to be touched by David Blane.
Posted by Jay C. on May 12th, 2011Or by the monster in Jay’s pants …..
Posted by Lars Von Tired on May 12th, 2011Thanks Sean!
Posted by Jalen on May 12th, 2011How about a Wolfgang Petersen marathon? He seems like a good choice since he has a bunch of different kinds of films.
Posted by Gord on May 12th, 2011Wintle, I just died inside. GET IT DONEEEEEEE
Posted by Henrik on May 12th, 2011Strongly, strongly agree with Frank re: Vin Diesel. Do not want. Do not get. It’s gotta be the Stonecutters.
Who makes Vin Diesel
Posted by other greg on May 12th, 2011A Star
We do!
Glad to hear “Beauty Day” is playing well. I hope Jay is willing to submit it to the Brisbane International Film Festival. I’d make a trip all the way up there. Its to bad Sydney and Melbourne festival submissions are closed.
Posted by XY-Man: The Last Stan on May 12th, 2011WTF Jay? You all most gave me a heart attack when you said the the greatest wrestle of all time
Posted by Austin in Japan on May 12th, 2011Ted Dibiase was dead.
Everybody has a price!
I think I’ll have to send in a Voicemail every week now, just to piss off that Kasper guy.
Posted by Nils on May 13th, 2011Great show!
This epiosode was incredible. Thanks gents.
Frank should do a documentary called “My Lunch with Jordana” and have lunch with Jordana Brewster look-a-likes.
They could have that Fat Kid who reviews snacks as the waiter telling the couple what is good and what is not.
Reed would be awesome as the narrator.
Posted by Khan Farrington, HMV Manager on May 13th, 2011Question for Frank,
Have you checked out the Talking Funny special with CK, Seinfeld, Rock, and Gervais.
Posted by Chrisy on May 13th, 2011I guess I liked Thor little bit more than the Filmjunk guys. It definitely had it weaknesses (especially the character building) but in the end I still had a decent time. It was quite light on action… at least the action scenes were over quite quickly. It’s reminded me of Iron Man 2 actually.
I’m a big fan of the Walt Simonson Thor run. Of course the movie is not really in the same level, but it really could have been much worse.
Thor Macho Movie Review would be really great! It’s been too long since the last episode.
Posted by Vikke_AJ on May 13th, 2011Since you guys liked James Marsh’s films, you need to go back a bit and watch The King. It’s from 2005 I believe, but it has Gael Garcia-Bernal, William Hurt, and Paul Dano. It’s incredible. Elvis (Garcia-Bernal) gets out of the Navy and goes looking for his father (Hurt) who is now a pastor of a popular Texas church. I won’t go farther because of spoilers, but it’s very, very good. I hope you guys check it out.
Posted by bard on May 13th, 2011@ Khan Farrington on
“Frank should do a documentary called “My Lunch with Jordana” and have lunch with Jordana Brewster look-a-likes.”
I’ll clear this up by saying Frank and every single man here is ALREADY TRYING to “have lunch with Jordana Brewster look-a-likes”.
Posted by rus in chicago on May 14th, 2011Jay C, have you tried Swamp People yet? It’s even better than Pawn Stars.
Posted by Chris on May 14th, 2011“..special Thor episode of the Macho Movie Review..”
This would’ve been awesome! You guys need to make this happen even if it’s a few weeks late. Would definitely be a buy
Posted by Jack on May 15th, 2011Just watched Thor.
I thought it was ok. It was better than I expected but my expectations were low.
3 out of 5
