Any new Blu-ray release that has a feature-length documentary on the making of the film, I’m all for it. I love that stuff. I could watch Making Ofs all day. Well, maybe not all day. Gonna get tired at some point. But a Making Of to me is like some sorta Cinema-drug that keeps on givin’.

The new TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN: PART 2 has a 7-part Making Of, and that suits me just fine. The film, however. That’s another story. Give a listen now to episode 176 and let me explain.

John and I discuss the new TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN Blu-rays, and the new theatrical releases: Park Chan-wook’s STOKER and Bryan Singer’s JACK THE GIANT SLAYER.

I command you enjoy!
