1:02:00 Jack’s second appearance on Kevin’s show. Wearing his Team Edward shirt!

Kevin asks Jack about his “geek credentials.” Jack owns “Fluffy” from Creepshow (www.tomspinadesigns.com).

Also owns the Battlestar Galactica main door that is used to enter the “CIC” on the show.

1:06:00 Kevin plays the first NEW Avenger trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOrNdBpGMv8

Jack never really read The Avengers comics. Kevin loved Thor and Captain America. He is actually surprised that Loki is the villain in the movie?

1:08:50 Kevin mentions seeing Sir Ian McKellen’s “I am Gandalf and Magneto. Get over it!” shirt. Jack thinks it is photoshop and that the shirt does not exist.

1:09:22 May 4th release date for The Avengers. The Dark Knight in June or July. Which one does better? Magical May 4th date-most desirable date of the summer. More Avengers talk-any other women in The Avengers?

1:12:20 Kevin felt like Hawkeye/Jeremy Renner was sandwiched into the Iron Man 2 movie.

Like Dustin Hoffman in the Meet the Fockers sequel, wasn’t originally in it but audiences wanted him after test screenings so they added him in. He got 7.5 million for five days work! Story: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1344386/Little-Fockers-star-Dustin-Hoffman-paid-7-5m-days-work.html

1:13:45 Iron Man. RDJ doesn’t wear the suit anymore, just CGI’d it in. Like Michael Keaton in Batman, suit changed after the first one where he could barely move his head.

1:15:00 Kevin said on TMZ that he would “go very gay for Chris Hemsworth.”

Gratuitous pic of Chris Hemsworth with his baby! Ahhhhhhhh

Jack brings up his equally hot brother Liam Hemsworth (Hunger Games). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2955013/

Gratuitous Breaking Dawn Quote: "What a gene pool!"​

Hemsworth brothers at the beach in Australia:

1:16:00 Back to The Avengers. Will it overtake Dark Knight? Superhero movies and Christopher Nolan.

1:20:19 Hot Toys discussion. Incredible attention to detail: http://www.hottoys.com.hk/ Sideshow is their North American distributor: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=34957 Jack has a soft spot for the original Batman, costume and Batmobile. Loves the Hot Toys version:

1:22:00 Kevin recalls seeing the trailer for the original Batman at Christmas, 1988.

Original Batman trailer, no score-very cool!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyozzozRsCk

EVERYONE had the Batman shirt in 1989.

Pattinson and Batman shirt. Hey YO!

1:25:23 Tim Burton discussion. Originally a graphic designer. Making Frankenweenie a feature now. Beetlejuice. Kevin liked the cartoon with a Michael Keaton sound-alike.

1:46:00 Should Back to the Future be remade? Maybe if Marty McFly went back to 1985, do people care about movies set in the 50’s anymore?

1:59:42 Kevin and Jack happy they are allowed to “geek out,” unlike their dads that had to work. More freedom. Their parents didn’t rush home to watch Entertainment Tonight to see the new Batman trailer. Back in the days of Fanzines and conventions once a year. Jack wanted to buy the back issues of magazines at conventions. No more “hunt” for information.

2:06:00 Comic Book talk. Where did Kevin buy his comic books? New Jersey days. Forty five cents to buy a Star Wars comic.

2:14:00 Does Jack have to like all of Bill Condon’s movies? Jack says Dreamgirls, Gods and Monsters, Kinsey, Chicago (which he wrote) “would have been his favorite movies of that year whether he knew him or not.” DID hate the Candyman sequel, directed by Bill BUT NOT written by him, walked out. Told Bill that the first night he met him.

Jack and Bill

2:17:00 Only movie Kevin ever walked out of is The Flintstones. Never worked at a movie theater, Jack did 1985-88. Jack shares his Top Gun anecdote (not for the faint of heart).
