Get out your surfboards and bikinis, boys and girls! Hollywood's gearing up for its summer movie season, so Paul and AJ discuss the 10 movies they're most looking forward to, four mutual picks and three solo choices apiece. We cover everything from superhero fare like The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises to quirky independents like Moonrise Kingdom and Safety Not Guaranteed. Plus, AJ talks about seeing Casablanca on the big screen, Paul heaps praise on the comics Saga and Prophet, and a retraction is issued in regards to Girls.

Next: So, hey, The Avengers? Yeah, we're gonna talk about that.

Last month, Paul and AJ recorded a commentary track for Jurassic Park. Now, with The Avengers on its way, they decided to blab all over Jon Favreau's instant classic superhero film Iron Man. Things that occur: Paul and AJ confess relative ignorance of Iron Man's comic book adventures; AJ professes his desire to marry Pepper Potts; Paul admires Jeff Bridges' beardliness; and much--too much?--Tony/Rhodey slash is read. Really. That happens. Several times.

Like last time, we give you some time to set up your DVD/Blu-ray, so you can go ahead and start the commentary before you start the movie.

There's been a disturbance in the Force...and that's only the tip of the iceberg! Well, after that peach of a sentence, we're about to be dragged offstage, so really quickly: AJ likes Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Paul likes Titanic. Paul hates Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; AJ hates Titanic. FIGHT! Well, it's actually a lot more civil than that, but yes, arguments are had, rants are ranted, bile is spewed. Plus, they also have a fundamental disagreement over the new HBO series Girls, so, you know, more fighting and stuff.

Next: It's that time again...the Gobbledygeek Summer Movie Preview!

Calling all jocks, nerds, sluts, virgins, and stoners: there's a certain cabin you might want to take a trip to. Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's long-delayed The Cabin in the Woods is finally in theaters this weekend, and Paul and AJ offer up their thoughts. We know the movie isn't just about kids going to a cabin and getting sliced and diced, but how much can we say here without pissing off the Internet? As far as that goes, in lieu of a witty banter portion, we discuss our NON-SPOILERY thoughts on the film up top before getting into a SPOILERY discussion. So, yeah. It's a barrel o' laughs, there's some arguing, and lots of affection for certain cast members. Why don't you go ahead and walk down into that dark cellar?

Next: Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Titanic were both recently released in 3D. Both of our hosts enjoy one of these movies, and both of them also hate the other one of those movies. Expect fistfights and the death of a friendship.

It's Geek Challenge time! Paul has challenged AJ to Real Genius, and in turn, AJ has challenged Paul to Donnie Darko. Our two challenges this time may seem wildly different in terms of plot and tone, but they're really not that dissimilar: Both take place in the '80s, both are centered around "extraordinary" young men, both feature schools which are important to the story, and both ensure that Tears for Fears will keep receiving those royalty checks for a good long while. As far as the boys' discussion is concerned, things are going pretty well until they're not. Plus, Paul and AJ rave about the Game of Thrones season premiere.

Next week: It's real! The Cabin in the Woods exists!
