PTG Episode 44 is brought to you by MNU Spreads Lies, a blog kept by “Christopher Johnson” detailing the horrible situation unfolding in the slum of Johannesburg, South Africa known as “District 9“. Check out “Christopher’s” blog entries, then head over to D-9.com and make up your own mind as to who is telling the truth. (Either one is sure to suck you into the alternate reality that is the world of District 9, and if you don’t want to see the movie after all that, for curiosity’s sake alone, then I don’t know what will.)
In the first of two hours graced by a return visit by Mad Mario, Destroyer of Worlds, we (along with EricathePimp) break down the many strengths of District 9, then widen our focus to look back at the whole of 2009’s summer movie season and grade the biggest blockbusters of the year. If you’ve been listening to PTG throughout the summer, you’ll probably already have a sense of what those grades might be, but in case you haven’t, well, hit that play button, sit back, and enjoy. We wrap up the hour by talking about a few of the previews we’ve caught at the theater for upcoming 2009 movies, including Inglourious Basterds, Zombieland, Legion, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, and Surrogates.
