Meet the Knights of Badassdom

Now this is what The Wild Hunt should have been! Those who regularly listen to the awesomeness that is our show know that Shawn and I are violently opposed to Live Action Role-playing . . . for too many reasons than we can list here. If it's your thing fine, just don't force it on us. But we'll watch comedic horror movies about it for sure. Especially when they star Summer Glau of Firefly fame, Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage, Ryan Kwanten (Red Hill) and Community's Danny Pudi. The plot: live-action role players conjure up a demon from hell by mistake and must deal with the consequences. Shenanigans ensue. This looks like fun, Summer Glau gets better looking every year, and who doesn't dig some Pudi. And yes, this will be reviewed on a future episode. No word yet on a release date though.

The next Wonder Woman?

If director Nicolas Winding Fefn has his way not only will DC Comics's most popular female super hero get to the big screen, but the Amazon will be embodied by Mad Men/Firefly/Life starlet Christina Hendricks. Who's Refn? The director recently won an award at Cannes for his action film Drive starring Ryan Gosling and he's slated to helm the latest version of Logan's Run. But he told ReelzChannel.com that he's long wanted to make a Wonder Woman movie and his top choice to play the heroine is Hendricks. Judging from fanboy reaction on almost every movie-themed website I check few would have an issue with Refn's casting. I think it's safe to say we in The Basement also agree with putting Hendricks in the role because she, well, um . . . looks the part. Dye her hair black and you're good to G-O. It doesn't hurt that she can act either. This project is a long way off, but dare to dream, boys. Dare to dream.
