New Format

You may have noticed lately that Brian and Justin have been running all over their guests. They have legitimately cool people on, but Brian and Justin just love talking to each other that the guests kind of just get pushed to the background. To fix this they are trying out a new format where they hang out and talk to each other for about the first 20 minutes and then they bring the guest on to talk to them about things that the guests are knowledgeable about.

The Amazing Spider-Man

Justin jizzes all over the new Spider-Man movie.

Ernie Cline

Ernie Cline is the author of one of 2011's most talked about book, "Ready Player One", and is also the guy behind the movie "Fanboys". The guys talk about the lead-up to "The Phantom Menace" and the creation of "Fanboys" and the issues that Ernie faced in creating his movie. It turns out, after years of nothing happening with the script, Kevin Spacey got his hands on it and got George Lucas' permission to make the movie. Then once Miramax picked it up the dominoes started to fall; Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, and William Shatner all got on board. Unfortunately, once they started the test screenings, the studio decided to fiddle around and completely ruin the whole movie. In fact, one of the producers didn't even know who Boba Fett was.

They then discuss the creation of "Ready Player One" and the Easter Egg hunt surrounding the book.
