The new film ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ starring Nicolas Cage is loosely based on the famous sequence from ‘Fantasia’, you know the one with Micky and the mops. Disney has now released this clip from the new film that highlights that scene. I am strangely getting excited about this film, the effects from the trailers look great and it looks like it might just be a fun ride of a film. Enjoy the clip.

Trailer: Red
Here is the new trailer for the DC Comic’s adaptation ‘Red’. This looks awesome and I am really looking forward to this one. Any chance to see Helen Mirren in bad ass mode is well worth it. Here is the synopsis (from /film):
Frank, Joe, Marvin, and Victoria used to be the CIA’s top agents — but the secrets they know just made them the Agency’s top targets. Now framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history.
And now without further ado, here is the trailer for ‘Red’.

You never know, you’re listening to that podcast and something visual happens, now you can simply find the show here and watch what happened. Enjoy. (Note: We only started recording the feed as of episode 46, there are no videos of earlier shows.)
