Holy crap! After a months long hiatus everybody at Booked is back for a brand new episode! First, Steve explains what happened to the live episode that was being talked about on the previous episode and all the problems there. Then the entire panel, including Jenosaur, Rob Lobster, T-Bot and Katie Findlay catch you up on what they've be reading over the extended break. So listen in and welcome the Booked crew back to the podcast world!

It's been more than enough time for people to check out Avengers: Age of Ultron, so it's time to get in depth about it. Stevil, Jenosaur, Rob Lobster and T-Bot have a total geek off after seeing the most anticipated movie of the beginning of 2015. What were their favorite parts of the movie? What character did this movie belong to? Hawkeye? Hulk? Black Widow? The panel also gets in depth with what they believe is being set up with each little easter egg. This week on Booked our heroes also give you a taste of what their reading in the "Put This In Your Eyeholes" segment. What are you reading that you think we should check out? Let us know in the comments below or on Twitter!

After last episodes review of the movies of 2014, we return to our usual format but with a twist. Now at the end of every episode we have a winner! This time around Stevil and Matty welcome Booked co host Jenosaur and our Manchild Sports guy Nate Kelly for a subject that can be very polarizing it the hit or miss department: Movies made from television series. These are our Staff Picks of the week! Jenosaur was perusing the mighty Netflix when she came across the movie that almost never got released. Yes, The Interview gets it's time in the new release section of the streaming service, less than two months after its theatrical release". Was it worth it? Jenosaur says "meh", to her it really wasn't worth the hype, the cancellation of release or starting a nuclear war over it. Really, a war over James Franco? The human race would never recover. Stevil got to check out a lesser known 2014 release from Antonio Banderas called Automata. This film takes place in a devastated future in which the world outside has been made radioactive due to solar flares. Because of this, humans have made robots to do their work for them. This film follows Isaac Asimov's robotics laws, as no robot can harm a human or alter itself. Banderas plays an insurance agent who investigates claims of tampering and is kidnapped to the desert by some rogue robots who show him their desire for a life of their own. A beautifully shot film. Nate brings us two recommendations. The first is an unconventional pick and the first television series brought as a Staff Pick. Broadchurch is a BBC mystery drama starring David Tenant that deals with the murder of a child is a small town. Everyone is a suspect and one of the leads on the case has direct ties to the victim. This would be later remade as Fox's Gracepoint. For the second item Nate's bringing to the Staff Picks, he has a question for you. Do you like porn? And not like art porn or air brushed pretty porn, but just down right dirty and in your face porn with Stellan Skarsgard. Are you still in? Well then, Nymphomaniac is a movie for you! Lars Von Trier returns for another controversial film to get, well, at least the people who saw it talking. Be warned, this film is in two parts, but it is available on Netflix, if you want that on your queue's conscience. After the last episode, Matty was left with a deep need to watch Damien Chazelle's debut film Whiplash. After Stevil, Kyle Brown and Eric all raved about the brilliance of this film, he watched it right away and was absolutely astounded by its brilliance. The movie flows like jazz in every way. The editing, sound design and shot framing make this film an instant classic that everyone needs to see, especially ahead of J.K. Simmons guaranteed Oscar win. For the main subject of time travel films, our panel explains why they made their choices: "The A-Team is a fantastic example of a TV-to-movie adaptation done right. Joe Carnahan struck the fine balance between keeping the original spirit of the show intact and giving us something fresh and entertaining for fans of the original. The casting all around was spot-on, the script was solid and there were some hilarious and memorable moments - it's one of my personal favourites, despite the heavy criticism en masse." - @jenosaur "Mr. Show has always been a favourite series of mine, so when I heard there was a movie based on one of the sketches, Fuzz The Musical/ The Ronnie Dobbs Story, I was on board immediately. It's unfortunate that Run Ronnie Run is not the movie Bob Oedenkirk and David Cross wanted to make and have disowned the film (David never even cashed his cheque), as I have an absolute affection for this film. The cast is perfect and Bob and David are so great with every line they deliver. Always worth the re watch!" - @thestevildead "South Park, Bigger Longer and Uncut, was chosen, because I love it.That seems like a bit of a cop-out, but I swear it’s legitimate. I used to be a much larger fan of the series ongoing, but this movie, to me, is timeless. I re-watch it often because it is so enjoyable.A hilarious musical event that affected the series forever, about Satan rising from Hell to reign over the world, with his lover Saddam Hussein, and he would scheme rise to power, through a series of events unfolding from Terrence and Phillip making a movie, that get’s so ridiculously overblown, the world ends.This movie is so fantastically a self-fulfilling prophecy it’s ridiculous, as the mainstream media re-acted EXACTLY how this movie predicted, WITHOUT ever acknowledging how fantastic that irony was, and that, to me, was the real tragedy." - @improvidiot "Picking a movie based on a TV show was a difficult feat. Do I pick something great, our pick something I enjoy that maybe not everyone will. I love Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Movie for the quotes and how close it is to the show. Not everyone will enjoy watching the silhouette of a man and his two robots mocking a movie but I sure do." - @mattydub604 What is your favourite television adaptation? Do you or did you enjoy our picks? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think in the comments below! 

Recorded before Christmas Booked has a lot of comic movie and TV casting and news for you, as Stevil is joined by original Booked co-founder Jenosaur! Yes, it's a wonderful and warm reunion filled with, well, everything else that the League covers. No worries though, Stevil tries to tie it all back to comics. Stevil gets to ask Jenosaur, a PS4 owner, if she's seen any ads for Powers on the Playstation Network, if there's a release date and if we're going to get them week to week or binge style like Netflix. They also geek out over the Michele Forbes/Retro Girl and Eddie Izzard production photos   Then they get into some good, bad and ugly talk of casting confirmations, rumors and plot rundowns floating around on the net. What's going on with Fantastic Four dumb plot outline? Are all the castings in Suicide Squad ones we can get behind? How hopeful are we for a well done DC cinematic universe now that we have confirmations for the Wonder Woman film?   The cast is ended with a special thank you to AMC for continuing to give us gold and greenlighting a spin off to The Walking Dead called Cobalt and also a little series called PREACHER!!!!! OMG WE'RE GETTING PREACHER! FINALLY!!   Ahem, also please stay tuned for our special message about Constantine and keep reading those panels, people!

A few months back Jenosaur and I (Stevil) were invited to do a panel at the North West Fan Fest by our friend Casey White of ShogunGamer.com, to talk about pop culture's effect on today's media, so basically comics, comics and more comics. On this panel I had the pleasure of meeting Aaron Golden, co-founder of Living Myth Magazine and writer of the column 'God of Comics' and honestly, I don't know why it took so long to have him on the show. His story of Warren Ellis pitching Next Wave to Marvel solidified his spot in the guest chair alone.   I had the chance to chat with Aaron over Skype and we settled into some pretty deep comic TV and movie discussions about all the negative reaction to Gotham, why he'd checked out of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and he enlightens me on the "fat guy with a power ring" movie that opened the door for Christopher Nolan to reboot the world's greatest detective.   Delving into the comic pages themselves, Aaron tells us his origin story. From learning to read with a Transformers comic, getting a Batman recommendation from an unlikely source, to becoming a novelist himself, our guest shows and proves his knowledge and gives us an abundance of food for thought.   Check out Aaron's God of Comics column here:  http://livingmythmagazine.com/blog/category/reviews/goc/
