We have two things that we are working on right now, and both require your assistance.
First, we are still collecting questions for our forthcoming episode, "Ask The Film Thugs." Email questions about anything, ANYTHING to thugquestions@gmail.com and we will answer them on a forthcoming episode. Neither Jim nor Clarkson will see the questions before the show, so everything you hear will be completely off the top of our heads.
Second, we are trying to have a new weekly segment that requires your assistance. Call our Google Voice number at (512) 666-RANT (7268) and leave a message about your worst experience in a theater. That message will be transformed into comic GOLD by the power of Google Voice's text preview, voice recognition translation. Listen to this and last weeks show and you will see what we mean.
We are still raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association on behalf of our little buddy Amadeo Andrade who was diagnosed with Becker Muscular Dystrophy in 2008. Last year, as a team, we raised $23,800 in support of Amadeo for MDA! This year our team goal is $25,000. We will be raising money until February of 2013. Anything will help and be appreciated, and remember all donations are tax deductible!
This year we are Amadeo's ARMY. Not team. Not club. Not group. ARMY! So lets show a great kid just how bad ass Thug fans are.

Also here is the link to the team page if you would like to read a little about Amadeo:
General/Chariman of the Joint Cheifs of Staff for Amadeo's Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.
Thank you for checking that out.
This weeks show is the flip side of last weeks. No matter how great the ending is, it doesn't matter if you aren't invested enough to reach that ending. An amazing opening scene can set the stage so well that even if a movie isn't great, it can trick you into thinking that it is.
So this week we take a look at the best opening scenes that we could think of.

A show about endings that is surprisingly light on the spoilers.

Let's be honest. Movies are really all about the last few minutes. The beginning and middle can be amazingly constructed, inspiring, touching and heartfelt, but if the end falls flat... the beginning and middle suddenly don't have the same weight or impact. It's like The Matrix Trilogy. Fantastic act one, questionable act two, abysmal act three that reduced act two from questionable to awful.
This week we discuss some of our favorite movie endings. We thought this was going to be a spoiler crazy episode, but it really turns out to be remarkably less so than we initially thought.
So, check it out. We don't really get into the movies for about half an hour and when we do you can skip the parts you don't want to hear, but again we don't really spoil things that much.

And we are still looking for questions for our "Ask the Film Thugs" show. Ask us about anything at all. Could be about movies, relationships, family, history, recipes, what have you. We will have no idea what your questions are until we read them on the show. Do you want you want to know how quick Jim and Clarkson came come up with some bullshit? Sure you do! So go ahead and ask away at thugquestions@gmail.com

Now, on with the show.
Let's be honest, we all love a bargain. Yeah, sometimes a knockoff is worth it. It's a little lesser quality, but you enjoy it just the same. It happens in movies too. This week we discuss the actors, directors, and films that are just a poor man's imitation of a superior product.

Fight scenes are awesome. We aren't telling you anything you don't already know here. Granted, they are as unrealistic as hell, but that doesn't mean they aren't a hell of a blast to watch. This week Jim and Clarkson take a look at some of the best and worst fight scenes ever put to film. In addition they discuss traffic accidents, inane theater discussions, and are interrupted by an insurance company more than once.
