Huh… would you look at that? Turns out It is driving September toward a stronger-than-expected finish. Steven and Pete take on Homestar Runner, Ask-a-Ninja, more Trek, and the merits of digital downloading. We have two interesting trailers, fear of spoilage in Denis Villenueve’s Blade Runneruniverse, and a horrific dis of Wes Anderson’s new dog movie. Horrific, I tell you. And today’s list, jumping off of our conversation on Star Trek: First Contact, brings us great first contact movies!
