Ben Stiller's returns to directing this summer with the action comedy, Tropic Thunder. The guys offer their impressions of the trailer.



Team Ninja's popular Ninja Gaiden series has always held a high standard for challenge and responsiveness in the action genre. The newest entry introduces a bold new control scheme, designed specifically for the Nintendo DS. Alex, Dan, and Jeff unleash their styluses (styli?) on Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.



The gauntlet has been thrown down between gritty cop dramas. The guys finally get around to discussing the fan-favorite HBO series, The Wire an make the inevitable comparison to The Shield.

Speaking of HBO, the "not TV" network has debuted a new miniseries chronicling one of America' founding fathers, John Adams. Alex, Dan, and Jeff eat their broccoli and start their history lesson.
