The Super Bowl may be over, but during our “Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast, the memories live on! Yup, Stu Gotz and I talk about the game, the commercials, the success of The Puppy Bowl, the free Grand Slam breakfast at Denny’s, and the resignation of Scott Lee Cohen, the dude elected to run for Lieutenant Governor in Illinois, but because the Democrats didn’t like him, they made him cry, and quit, during halftime of the Super Bowl. Gotta love politics in Illinois!

And along with the big game, we also talk more TV and find out that Stu would have been a great contestant on Saturday Night Live’s game show of “What is Burn Notice?” because, well, he knows what “Burn Notice” is, and that my DVR is filled with Oprah and Ellen.  My BFF and I searched out some wedding reception options, a snow storm might cause a lot of school closings in Chicago, my BFF is now the only person who hasn’t seen “Avatar,” and watch out for that salami, especially if you bought it from Costco, because there is some kind of recall. And if you think salami might be stinky, don’t go pee at Chicago’s City Hall.

Thanks for listening!

That’s it for this one!  I’m The Dude on the Right!!  L8R!!!

My Blu-ray review of "Amelia" is posted. I would like to recommend the movie, but my BFF fell asleep while we were watching it. If you are fascinated by Amelia Earhart, like some picturesque scenery, or want to actually watch a deleted scene that should have stayed in the movie, go ahead and get it.

My Blu-ray review of "Surrogates" is posted. The movie was a whole 1/2 star better by watching it in my living room, but hey, go ahead and rent it to see Bruce Willis with some wacky hair.

Stu Gotz is back in town, and for this “Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast we both give our tales of domestic exercising that neither of us really planned for. But our being out of shape doesn’t curtail this podcast, nope, it’s the day after the Grammy Awards, or as Stu calls them the “Granny Awards,” and even though he didn’t watch them, I did, and we both have opinions about various folks like Lady Gaga, The Black Eyed Peas, and Fergi.

Some vacation talk with Stu leads to his recommendations of sit-down dinner v. buffet on a Royal Caribbean cruise, I lament some website redesign on my inability to get stuff posted, Stu is happy that “Burn Notice” and “Psych” are back on TV, and we both love “Chuck.” Combine that with some talk of “Star Trek” and “Avatar,” humping dolphins, and hey, why not some iPad and Jay Leno talk thrown in for goodness measures, and you get another fun-filled episode of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast!

Thanks for listening!

Stu Gotz watched the recently released Blu-ray version of “Fame,” the re-make that was in theaters in 2009, and let’s just say that he’s not a fan. Okay, he pretty much didn’t like the movie at all, and he’s got his reasons. Oddly enough, and usually Stu likes thinks quick and to the point, but he thought the movie would have been better served as a three part mini-series so that there could be more character development, and not really surprising, he wishes that mini-series could have been on HBO or Showtime so that the portrayal could have been a little bit more true-to-life, what with the swearing, fighting, and general mayhem that kids can get into nowadays.

Okay, with the website design stuff taking place, this podcast was actually recorded on January 19, 2010, so a little over a week ago as I’m getting ready to post it. So, sure, we talk a little bit about the Golden Globe awards that were over a week ago, and I make a reference to the “Pants on the Ground” man that we have all forgotten, and if this podcast were timely Stu would be making some crack about the new Apple tablet computer being called the iPad, where if you tricked it out it would be called the MaxiPad. But there is some time-non-discript talk, so get ready for Stu’s verbal take on the re-make of the movie “Fame” (the written review will be posted in a few days), we find out why Stu missed the normal podcast day last week, we find out that Kansas City can be fun, and no you don’t have to eat crayons to have fun there.

Stu also celebrated an anniversary, I have a new ringtone for Stu thanks to the Geico commercial, and this podcast will have to do until next week when we find out where Stu has been, again, and what I did this weekend.

Thanks for listening!

The Dude on the Right was a half-fan of “Family Guy,” a full-fan of “Star Wars,” so he expected to be a 3/4 fan of “Family Guy: Something, Something, Something, Dark Side.” Oddly enough he became a 5 Star fan of the Blu-ray, and during is review he does his best to explain why.  Okay, he doesn’t really explain too much, but he loved the extended episode, is becoming a “Family Guy” convert, and thinks “Family Guy” fans will love the “Fact-Up” Special Feature.

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since “10 Things I Hate About You” came out, and also helped launch the career of Heath Ledger, but The Dude on the Right reviews the 10th Year Blu-ray Anniversary edition, and thinks the movie still holds up well. Sure, you get the standard story about teen in high school, but a lot of the story still rings true, and it is a great look back at some of the early works of Julia Stiles and Heath. The Blu-ray really needs more extras, but hey, you’re just getting this one for the story and to see Heath Ledger when he was young and studly.

Another Stu & The Dude’s "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast has come, and the boys talk about porn.  Well, they sort of talk about porn, namely a sexbot and 3-D-ness, and if anything else at the CES show last week will be a staple of tomorrow because of sex.  There is talk of a new computer, about computer server issues, about beer, about movies bad and good for kids, i.e., The Pink Panther 1 & 2, about movies for adults, i.e., Up In The Air, about TV catching up with "Chuck," and the return of "American Idol."  The dudes don’t talk about Jay Leno that much, what with him losing his show and all, but hey, it’s topical, and Stu’s not really a fan, so why not, there is some Jay Leno talk as well.  So much, so little time, yet Stu and The Dude figure a way to squeeze it into a 20-minute podcast.

I was really worried that computer server woes would stop me from posting our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, but thankfully things have been fixed just in time for Stu Gotz’s and my weekly chat,, especially with "American Idol" starting tomorrow.  Stu and I do a little dissecting of "American Idol," what with Paula Abdul gone, Simon Cowell leaving, Ellen DeGeneres onboard, and the auditions in Boston coming up, but, as we sometimes do, we quickly shift topics, and hide the children but it’s also time for the Adult Video News Awards in Las Vegas where we find out what technology that was at the CES show last week will be supported by the porn industry.

As the podcast continues with some adultness, I let Stu know if "Up In The Air," the George Clooney movie, is any good, Stu is catching up on "Chuck" so hopefully next week we will be on the same page, and in terms of kid-ness, Stu was shocked that "Pink Panther 1" is actually worse than "Pink Panther 2."

Stu’s sister got a new computer and doesn’t know what a web browser is, Jay Leno is doing something, and Stu is going to beer school.  All of that, and more, as 2010 continues!

Thanks for listening!
