Good golly, Miss Molly. The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz get together for another "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast and you might not be prepared to hear it, but old people are buying adult toys, from The Vermont Country Store no less, and the boys have some frank discussions about what the folks are buying, or at least what the store is selling. The podcast isn’t all about massagers that aren’t meant for your back, as The Dude does tell Stu if he should ditch Mama Gotz and see "Watchmen," Stu made it through the stormy, Chicago weekend, a Little Gotz is feeling better, The Dude is getting ready for March Madness, and who knew The Rock, a.k.a. Dwayne Johnson, could sing and dance? All that and a little more are discussed in this week’s edition, so lock up the kids and yes, go ahead and Google "The Vermont Country Store." You know you want to.

What’s New? A Movie Review of: Watchmen
The Dude on the Right wanted to like "Watchmen," especially since it included gratuitous nudity, lots of quality kills, and space travel, but what he didn’t count on was a lot of dialogue, back-story he didn’t really care about, and over two hours sitting on his butt. That’s not saying that "Watchmen" is a bad movie, and for some people it will totally be their cup of tea, but he sort of feels duped by the trailers because they tended to show that this movie was a lot more about action and adventure than about a study in human nature and political powerhouses. With that, The Dude feels "Watchmen" is much more of a drama than an action film, so make sure you drain your bladder and expect that before you plant your butt in the movie theater.
What’s New? A DVD Review of: Beverly Hills Chihuahua
The Dude on the Right wondered if Stu Gotz was in "little kid" euphoria mode when he originally saw the movie in the theaters, so for this DVD review of "Beverly Hills Chihuahua," The Dude tests the waters to see if the movie is as entertaining for adults as it is for kids. Well, The Dude thinks that for the most part, if you are a parent you’ll enjoy the movie and won’t poke your eyes out, but unless you’re a big, burly dude who owns a tiny dog, you’ll probably want to steer clear because this movie probably isn’t for you.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Valentine’s Day, Lots of Movies, and Not Spoiling SNL – much.
Stu Gotz is back from vacation so The Dude on the Right has a partner for this episode of their "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. Since Valentine’s Day was last weekend, well, the both of them talk a bit about their weekends, with The Dude’s being a little more romantic than Stu’s, and it included a meal fit for a King. They also settle into a lot of movie talk, with Stu seeing a bunch of rentals that didn’t get high reviews from many reviewers, The Dude seeing "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," and neither of them realizing that Ben Affleck was in the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie. Since Stu was back from vacation, well, he didn’t get to watch too much TV, and so as not to ruin the surprises, The Dude tells Stu to check the website for links to a couple of pretty funny Saturday Night Live skits, and that even The Jonas Brothers were funny on the show, too.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “He’s Just Not That Into You.”
The Dude on the Right, while he was watching "He’s Just Not That Into You," started to question his own relationship, and if is it really that fucked-up to be tempted if Scarlett Johansson were to hit on him at the convenience store. With that, during his review, he also remembers that the movie is just Hollywood, based on a book that tries to tell dudettes why a dude won’t call her. Then he remembered he called his BFF back, so he must be into her. Maybe The Dude should write his own book.
Anyway, for the movie, he thought it tried to intertwine too many stories to explain the book, and couldn’t decide if relationships suck or are great.
What’s New? Movie Previews of: “Confessions of a Shopaholic,” “Friday the 13th,” “The International,” and “Fired Up.”
Fine, so it’s February, and The Dude on the Right has been lax at getting movie previews up, but he’s finally getting back on his game with four previews, all coming out in the next couple of weeks. With that he previews "Confessions of a Shopaholic" (A movie he thinks his BFF will understand), "Friday the 13th," (He’s looking forward to lots of gratuitous sex and gratuitous violence), "The International," (He loves Naomi Watts but doesn’t give a damn about the movie)," and "Fired Up," (A movie that will be ruined by a PG-13 rating, and he will only be able to see if Stu Gotz joins him). New things are afoot in 2009, and hopefully strange things won’t be afoot at the Circle K- Why not start with some movie previews!
What’s New? A DVD Review of: National Lampoon’s Stoned Age
The Dude on the Right realizes that someone will find this movie funny, but for his review of "National Lampoon’s Stoned Age," he knows that it isn’t he, or is it him, or is it, well, The Dude didn’t like the movie, even with all of the nudity. Maybe he was diverted becase Ali Larted didn’t get naked, or maybe he was diverted because, well, he didn’t actually like the movie, but National Lampoon has a DVD out, it’s called "Stoned Age," and the funny isn’t as close to "Animal House" nor even "Van Wilder." Search out the trailer and if you laugh, it’s your kind of movie.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” and a DVD Review of “Swing Vote.”
The Dude on the Right still hasn’t gotten into the swing of things for the new year so, well, he is kind of playing catch-up. For today’s catching up he posts his review of "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," (he thinks the movie is great for eight-year-old boys, and his, umm, he-better-not-give-her-age, sister), as well as his DVD review of "Swing Vote" (he thinks it’s a great DVD rental, thinks the extras kind of blow, but one "Campaign Commercial" still makes him nearly poop his pants). The Dude has a lot of other catching up to do, especially with his TV shows, so maybe the easiest thing would be for him to download, or is it upload, a bunch of crap to his iPhone, but what kind of fun would it be to see Jack Bauer kick ass on a tiny screen? The Dude just might need to invest in a Slingbox, or revisit his TV viewing set-up.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Hail to the Chief!, Happy Birthdays!, Happy Anniversary!, and Getting Hitched!
The Dude on the Right is flying solo for this podcast, where most of it details how he and The BFF are now hitched and that the weather in Las Vegas is nicer than it is in Chicagoland. Now don’t get yourself all up in a tizzy, it’s not what you think, especially since a dude at an AT&T store officiated the hitching, but sadly their uniting didn’t allow The BFF to be able to let people pull her finger. The Dude and The BFF aside, it’s Inauguration time, and The Dude also wonders what Barak Obama will be singing in the shower, because he has the power, The Dude isn’t that keen on "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," and he gives some shout-outs for some birthdays and an anniversay.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Lot of Movies, Manuary has Changed The Dude, and The Golden Globes
The Dude on the Right is changing during Manuary, but probably not in the way Manuary is supposed to change a man, so during this episode of Stu & The Dude’s "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, well, The Dude takes a little while to get out of his weekend transforming, thanks to going to Nordstrom’s, seeing "Bride Wars," and watching DVD’s of "Funny Face" and "Breakfast at Tiffany’s." Stu Gotz does his best to get The Dude back into the real meaning of the month, although really, does his "listening" to "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Chipettes," really count? The both of them do talk about some exercising things, The Golden Globe Awards, and Tina Fey’s boobs, so maybe Manuary is back on track.
