The Dude on the Right is back from Houston and Stu Gotz is sad that his favorite Irish American Pub closed, so they both talk a bit about it during this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast episode. They also have a weekend to talk about with a lot of Stu’s dealing with scuba diving at some abandoned lead mines in Bonne Terre, MO, while The Dude gives some movie recomendations in the likes of "Up" and "The Hangover." The podcast, in fact, contains an abundance of movie talk with Stu revisiting a not really naked Jessica Alba in "Idle Hands," some preview talk about "G.I. Joe," "Bruno," and "Toy Story 3," and why not, let’s talk about some TV, especially The Dude’s latest obsession with the "I’m a Celebrity…" show. There’s more, but sadly The Dude forgot to talk about the new iPhone that came out today. Maybe next week.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! The Hangover, Terminator, Idle Hands, and Bonne Terre Mines
By:
The Dude on the Right
I’m back from Houston-town so Stu Gotz and I can get back into "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcasting mode, and Stu starts out bummed that his favorite Irish Pub, well, as Irish as an American Irish Pub can be, is closed, that pub being Galway Tribes in Frankfort, IL. But as we get to our weekend talk, Stu tells of his travels to Bonne Terre, MO, to go scuba diving in some abandoned lead mines. He had a good time and posted a YouTube video, and tells the tale of the donkeys that go blind. His diving aside, we get into some movie talk with Stu revisiting "Idle Hands" and a "naked" Jessica Alba via a body double, while I let Stu know that a couple of 5 star movies for him to see are "Up" for the kids and "The Hangover" for the adults. I do my best not to give any spoilers for "The Hangover," and let Stu know how the weekend box office went with a bomb in the making of "Land of the Lost," complete with our analysis.
We continue with a little bit of TV talk and my getting sucked into "I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here," and I also set up some topics for next week because I forgot to tell Stu about my being Pretty Woman and how I should have been in San Francisco for the announcement of the new iPhone. Oh well, I suppose it will wait.
All of that and more in this podcast episode! Thanks for listening!

What’s New? A Movie Review of: The Hangover
The Dude on the Right made one error when he went to see "The Hangover" – He brought along his fiance. It’s not that she didn’t love the movie, because she did, but it’s now highly unlikely that The Dude will be having his bachelor party in Las Vegas. Even if The Dude did make that error, he did love the movie does his best not to give away too many of the jokes during his review of "The Hangover." It’s funny, he says, in the same way movies like "Stripes," "Caddyshack," and "Old School" are funny. It might not really be a film for the dudettes, at least the "my poop doesn’t stink" dudettes, but for most of them, they’ll laugh as well.
And Still More Movie Previews!
By:
The Dude on the Right
A trip to Houston-Town delayed some postings, like another "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and I still have to write my review of "Up" (might I suggest you go and see it even without me writing a review for it?), but I started working on your July movie previews for the summer, although some of them are really previews, I’m just letting you know the movie is out there because you’ll probably go and see it without my prodding. What do I mean? Well, does it really matter what I have to preview about for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?" No, you’re going to go and see it, anyway. And for those of you old enough, who were fans of "Borat," does it matter what the premise is for "Bruno?" Of course not, as long as everyday people end up looking like fools. For the teen crowd, especially the girls, you get "I Love You, Beth Cooper" with the cheerleader from "Heroes," and ladies, you like your Katherine Heigl, so come July 24th you get her to feel good for, and Gerard Butler to swoon over, in "The Ugly Truth." My next batch of previews will include something about guinea pigs, an indie film, frighten you from adopting, and more. I figure four previews right now should get you going for your mid to late July planning stages!
That’s it for this one!

More Summer Movie Previews!
By:
The Dude on the Right
I told you I’m working on getting the summer movie previews up and posted, and my next batch, telling you if I think the movie will be any good as well as including links to the movie sites, are up and ready for your perusal. With it you get the R-rated Johnny Depp flick, filmed in the Chicago area, "Public Enemies" hitting you in the face right before the 4th of July, and if you want to take a box of tissues to the theater, go ahead and see "My Sister’s Keeper." If you’re looking for Megan Fox looking hot combined with robots in disguies again, well, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" comes at the end of June, and maybe you’re looking for a nice thriller with Travolta as the bad man, in which case you’ve got "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3." Not to be forgotten in the June mix is a movie for the kids, thanks to Eddie Murphy, called "Imagine That," and since your honey is going to want to have a romantic night out, go ahead and catch "The Proposal," that is, unless you don’t want to get married. And, oh yea, can Harold Ramis and Judd Apatow go wrong? "Year One" will tell.
That’s it for this one!

What’s New? A Podcast of : Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Pork-Fest Weekend, Night at the Museum, Grilling, and Gay, Deaf Bikers.
Memorial Day Weekend has come and gone, and The Dude on the Right celebrated it with his BFF by having a Pork-Fest Weekend. The Dude explains to Stu Gotz during their "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast exactly what he means by that, while Stu lets the world know if they should go and see "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian." The Dude also got to observe what appeared to be members of the Gay, Deaf Biker Gang at Millennium Park in Chicago, he cleaned a dryer vent, and tried to relax, while Stu definitely got is relaxing down by catching up on some TV. Next week they both figure to give their review of "Up," but probably not "Drag Me to Hell."
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Pork-Fest Weekend, Night at the Museum, Grilling, and Gay, Deaf Bikers.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Most people were celebrating Memorial Day over the weekend, but not me and my BFF – nope, it was Pork-Fest Weekend, and I tell Stu all about it during our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. Now before you have your mind in the gutter, much like Stu, we’re talking about pork products, ranging from brats to ribs tickling our taste buds, which leads to Stu Gotz lamenting some grilling woes thanks to a bird. Stu, did, over the weekend, get to see "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian," and lets me know all about it and if I should take the BFF to see it, while I tell Stu about my observation of members of a gay, deaf, biker gang. Okay, they might not have been members of a biker gang, but they did come off as gay, were definitely hard of hearing, and were taking in the sites of Millennium Park in Chicago over the weekend.
And with it being an extended weekend, I hip everyone to helpful hint to stop your house from burning down, Stu caught up on some TV viewing, and both of us are looking forward to seeing "Up" next weekend.
All of that and more in this podcast episode! Thanks for listening!

Summer Has Begun, and I’m Finally Getting to Movie Previews
By:
The Dude on the Right
So Memorial Day 2009 has come and is going, over the weekend a movie about a night in a museum beat a movie about computers and robots hell-bent on destroying us, and I spent a lovely weekend with my BFF which I’ll be sure to fill in the details in my Podcast with Stu Gotz tomorrow. For now I just wanted to hip you to the fact that I am working on trying to help you with your future summer movie plans by checking out the trailers for some of the biggest (and some smallest) movies coming out and letting you know if I think they are any good. The list is starting small, with movies coming out in the next couple of weeks, but it will grow exponentially, or at least should be complete in the next couple of weeks, and I’ll do my best to get some full-blown reviews posted as well.
For now, next week you’ve got family fun with the Pixar/Disney flick, "Up," and to get your horror mojo working, Sam Raimi is directing "Drag Me to Hell." The week after you can catch Will Ferrell in all of his "yelling is funny" glory during "Land of the Lost," the adult dudes can have their dudes-night-out by seeing "The Hangover" while sending their dudettes on a ladies-night-out to "My Life in Ruins."
See, your summer movie-watching plans are now complete for the next two weeks.
More previews will be coming soon, Stu will hopefully fill me in on "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" during out podcast tomorrow, and don’t forget that I tweet, so feel free to follow me!
That’s it for this one!

What’s New? A Movie Review of: Angels & Demons
The Dude on the Right is finally getting back off his ass and getting into the summer movie season, and he kicks it off with his review of "Angels & Demons." Yup, that guy from "The Da Vinci Code" is back to solve another series of puzzles, and this time it’s to save The Vatican, and maybe some Cardinals. The Dude liked the movie, probably more than most critics, and gives the simple advice that if you enjoyed the Da Vinci flick, you’ll probably like "Angels & Demons," even if you didn’t read the book.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Birthday Weekend Part II, The House of Mouse, Star Trek, and Angels & Demon
Well, it took an extra day for The Dude on the Right to get the Stu & The Dude’s "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast posted, mostly because yesterday he thought he might have come down with the Swine Flu, or the H1M1 virus, or just ate a bad donut, but in any case he had a fever, felt like crap, so here’s the podcast being posted on a Tuesday, no worse for wear. Stu Gotz is happy that The Dude is in love but just hopes that tattoos never show up, Stu had his travel problems coming back from Mickey Mouse Land, and both of them recommend seeing "Star Trek." The Dude on the Right also recommends seeing "Angels & Demons," mostly because it’s the same kind of movie as "The Da Vinci Code," and The Dude says that if you want a great soft shell crab, or the best crab cake ever, you should spend some dough and head to "Sugartoad" in Naperville, IL. Go ahead, have a listen.
