June 9th - Doug and James Joint Review--Of What? Details, Details!
June 16th - Sidekicks--I think we just found Conan O'Brien's newest Chuck Norris related device...
June 23rd - Gargoyles--I kinda liked it, but I wasn't "In Like" with it.June 30th - Steel--Another Shaq Attack? This will be one of your best reviews!
July 7th - Top 11 Cereal Mascots-- That's different, but I like the idea already
July 14th - Barbed Wire-- Don't you mean "Barb Wire" W/Pamela Anderson? (I think that's what you meant)
July 21st - New vs Old - LOTR Animated vs Lord of the Rings-- Bashki Wins, Hands Down! Nothing against Peter Jackson, but a few Oscars can do something to a film in the long run.
July 28th - Last Action Hero-- Finally! Took you long enough. I saw it on "Encore" so many times, I'm ready for anything.Aug 4th - Captain N-- A lot of people asked for this one, and after seeing clips of it on the Tube, Rip. It. Hard!
Future Requests:1. "Small Wonder"--Quite possibly the WORST Sitcom Ever Made (In a "So Bad, it's good" kind of way)
2. "Cats Don't Dance"--Again, Spay this Kitty.
3. "We're Back: A Dinosaur Story"--Seriously, John Goodman, Jay Leno, Martin Short, Kenneth Mars, Walter Cronkite, ( :0 ) And Julia Child (???!!!???) How can you go Wrong :dry:
4. "Freddie The Frog" (AKA :Agent F.R.O.7.")--Probably the worst thing (Sir) Ben Kingsley will have done...until the first "Species" movie, IMO. (And "Species" wasn't a terrible movie, just Ben Kingsley's role)
5. "Rover Dangerfield"--Even Rodney couldn't respect Himself after this...especially when he Sings in it.
Ball's in your court, guys...

Oh, and let's not forget how Jackson initially denied having seen the film, then went back and said that he saw it, but it didn't inspire him to read the books, and then said that he read the books because of the movie.
One interview, he couldn't keep his story straight, and said both that he read the book when he was 18 and then claiming that he saw the film and was inspired to read the book.
This is why Jackson's Return of the King had a million fucking endings.

Interesting line up. Here's what I think of each one.
Doug & James joint review: Can't have much of an opinion on what it is.
Sidekicks: Be careful becasue Mako's in this movie also. Does anyone else see that this movie is pretty much a rip off of Last action Hero.
Gargoyles: heard it was a good TV series.
Steel: Shaq + Ironman rip off plot = great episode.
Top 11 Cereal Mascots: I don't know. Most cereal mascots seem to suck with the exception of Tony the Tiger.
Barbed Wire: looks like poor taste eye candy.
New VS Old- LOTR Animated VS Live action: animated one looks stupid, live action one is great.
Last action hero: after many delays it is finally here. (okay maybe after 1 delay)
Captain N: It's a video game crossover show and as we all know crossovers always seems to suck. (With the exception of the TGWTG crossovers)

Gargoyles, oh my god! I LOVED that show so much! I was so pissed when Disney took it off... screw Disney and all that. >>
Can't wait for the Nerd and Critic review, along with the cereal mascots. I'm really curious about that one. Bet the rooster on the Cornflakes box will somehow worm it's way onto that list.

im hoping the joint review is a crappy video game movie and there certinly are plenty of those to choose from. i remember liking sidekicks i dont think its a ripoff of last action hero like mellow said in last action hero the kid meets his favorite movie charecter in side kicks the kid just wants to be like norris and he imagines him the whole time untill the end where he meets him id say its more of a karate kid rip off then anything. as far as gargoyles goes i hope this is that rare ocassion where doug likes something i love this show and like x-men it was great and had more adult themes then most cartoons of its time i mean i remember an episode where eliza gets shot and almost dies plus the piolet shows goliths whole family get slaughtered at the begining. steel sucked pretty bad theres no doubt about that but i found this little tidbit on wikipedia
The film was originally designed to be a spinoff of a new Superman film that used the Death of Superman storyline that originally introduced the character in the comics. The project languished in development hell for so long the spinoff moved forward without the film it was to be attached to. Due to insufficient budget, most of the property (especially Steel's suit) is taken from the Los Angeles junkyard. A similar incident happened with Catwoman, a spin-off of Batman Returns, where so much time had passed and the project changed so much the connection was lost.
and honestly if they had picked a big black guy that could act like michel clark duncun or vin reghines then it may have had a chance but with bender from breakfast club as the bad guy and shaque making basketball jokes it was doomed.
ceral mascots will be cool lucky the leprican has to win though his black magic beats out everyone else easy there is no way a psychopathic bird,add tiger, stupid tucan, pirate,singing midgets, a frog,sevral versions of a bee the newist of witch is incredibly anoying, a stupid rabbit that doesent just go buy a box of cereal, honestly the only mascots that come close are fred and barney becuase they are clasic but the evil black magic that lucky uses is strongest of all.
barb wire is just a hour and a half clevage shot of pam with pretty bad action scenes and heres some trvia for you the director before and after this has only done music videos he was hired becuase he was cheap.
im looking foward to the new vs old but im not a lord of the rings fan at all.last action hero oh boy arnold playing himself basicly and he meets him self and theres a cartoon cat what more can i say.
captain n wow for a kids show it had a decent concept but and would have worked if they hadent gotten all of the heroes wrong. megaman is not green pansy and simon belmont is not a prissy pretty boy not to mention all the voices where anoying as a kid it was like oh wow all my favorite charecters are in the same show but after the fisrt 3 seconds it becomes role on the floor crying in agony bad but i will admit i have cut the cord from a nes zapper and wraped a controller around my waist more then once.

June 9th - Doug and James Joint Review
Excellent, can't wait to see what you guys come up with.June 16th - Sidekicks
I'd never heard of this so I looked it up. A sick kid dreams of becoming Chuck Norris? I see potential.June 23rd - Gargoyles
The movie or the show? Either way I'm not really familiar with it.June 30th - Steel
Poor Shaq. He just can't make a good movie. Critic, have no mercy.July 7th - Top 11 Cereal Mascots
Interesting. This should have some good nostalgic value to it.July 14th - Barbed Wire
The one with Pamela Anderson? Please destroy this movie (figuratively, but also literally if possible)July 21st - New vs Old - LOTR Animated vs Lord of the Rings
Probably not a very good candidate for NvO if you ask me, just because there is no competition here. New will blow old out of the water.July 28th - Last Action Hero
I loved this movie as a kid, but it really does need to be ripped apart.Aug 4th - Captain N
Excellent. I used to watch this every morning. I recently rewatched some clips and was wondering how I ever enjoyed this thing. Plus, it is sort of sad to see just how far one of Motown's greatest vocalists, Levi Stubbs, had fallen.

I would love to see Doug and James review both "The Wonder Years" and "Freaks and Geeks" although James doesn't usually review TV/Movies.
They could do a Grandma's Boy review because since this movie is somewhat about video games although it was released in 2006.
Here are my future NC requests:
MTV month--A month full of great videos, shows, animated shows, and VJs.
Old vs. New: TWY vs. F&G--Doug, you have got to do this one, please :-)
Stand By Me--I like to see Doug review this movie although it is rated R. It's one of my all-time favorite films.
'80s Teen Movies--I would see Doug to take a retrospective how the decade of greed changed the way we look at teen movies.
Top 11 Most Nostalgic Rocky Moments--Damn it, if the AVGN/James can do devote to Rocky, why can't Doug?
The Karate Kid Series retrospective--Since Sidekicks is going to be reviewed next month, I like see Doug take on the whole franchise.
Old vs. New: Scooby Doo cartoons vs. Scooby Doo films--I like to see Doug's reaction to the transformation from Velma the bulldyke to Velma the Linda Cardellini ;-) Jinkies!
Encino Man--The NC can review the evolution the Pauly Shore phenomenon and the debut of Brendan Frasier as the title character.
Homage to '80s Action Films--Since Doug devoted the '90s sports montages, I like to see him devote his views on the action films of the 1980s.
P.S. Can't wait for the Captain N review :-)
