Holiday Special 1: Howard The Duck (Special Edition)

Yes, that's right! Although we began Cinema Excelsior with a discussion of "Howard the Duck", only two of our five regular panelists were actually a part of that landmark episode. As a holiday present to you, dear listener, we have re-viewed the film and subjected it to a full five-panelist dissection. Have our thoughts changed since our initial viewing four years ago? Listen to find out!

Ep. 36 - The Wolverine

This is for the bear. Step into the Mission to Mars room and go on a journey with everyone's contractually-mandated favorite X-Man as he travels to Tokyo for a good old-fashioned samurai story. Would this have been better as an Ozu-style family drama? You be the judge!
