Episode 57 - Comicon and Terminator Genisys

Julian Meush July 19, 2015

The whole ToB crew is back to discuss all the big news out of San Diego Comicon, including the Star Wars panel, X-Men and a bit of extra emphasis on the new Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad trailers. We break down each trailer into all its juicy bits and try to piece together what little information  we got about the new DC Cinematic Universe (DCCU). Of course we would be remiss if we didn't mention the passing of video game legend and Nintendo President and CEO Satoru Iwata. We look at the impact his lose will have on Nintendo moving forward and take a few minutes to reflect on his career. Finally, we close out the show reviewing the latest entry in the Terminator franchise which sees Arnold return to the iconic role of the T-800 (possibly for the last time).

ToB Interlude - Batman vs Robin Review

Julian Meush June 29, 2015

The guys review the DC animated film Batman vs Robin and examine WB's creative strategy for its animated features. Are they making a mistake in adapting too many recent comic stories? Should they go back to some more original ideas and diverse animation? Does Bruce Timm's answer those questions? All of that and a short discussion on what is happening with the live action DC movies.

ToB Interlude - Jurassic World

Julian Meush June 27, 2015

In this weeks ToB Interlude the guys discuss the blockbuster phenomenon that is Jurassic World. We break it down from every angle and try to understand how it grossed over half a billion dollars on its opening weekend. We try to grasp what makes a summer blockbuster work, asking the question; is it OK to love a movie when you know it has all sorts of flaws? Of course we cant help but to make some comparisons to the first film in the series, one of our favorite movies of all time, Jurassic Park. We also debate where Jurassic World fits into the timeline and if they are trying to secretly retcon the series to ignore the events of the second and third films. We finish off, of course, spending a little time geeking-out over some of the best and worst moments in the series.

Game of Thrones S5E10 "Mothers Mercy": ToB Breakdown

Julian Meush June 17, 2015

It has come to that time once again, another season finale for Game of Thrones. Season five has seen its ups and downs but the tenth episode really left us with a sour taste in our mouths. Julian and Daniel sit down to discuss all the major plot points this week as well as give our take on what we think might come in season six. The show left enough loose ends that the speculating and theorizing for the next ten months will be excruciating. Last but not least, we delve deep into the major event that concluded the season and talk about how it effected us as viewers (or in Daniel's case, a reader) and whether it was the right note to end a season on.

Julian Meush June 10, 2015

SSSW - Year in Review 2025 + Visions Vol 3
Jan 5, 2026

With the back half of 2025 being relatively quiet from a Star Wars perspective, it's hard to remember that 'Andor' wrapped up it's two season run and blew us all away THIS year. Never mind that 'Skeleton Crew' also wrapped up in 2025! Julian and Rachel, using the help of this handy Starwars.com article as reference, look back at the year that was in Star Wars. Overall, despite things slowing down content-wise, 'Andor' alone makes it a stellar year, and with new movies on the horizon and a new animated series set to drop in 2026, there's still plenty to be excited about going forward. If that wasn't enough, join us as we explore 'Star Wars: Visions - Volume III', posing the question: has the Star Wars anime concept run it's course?

Bonus Episode - ToB Film Club - Surviving Christmas (2004)
Dec 24, 2025

Happy holidays ToB Fans! Completing a string of 3 straight publicly available Film Club episodes, commemorating the show's relaunch, we finish with our annual tradition of doing a Christmas movie for December. This year, with Matt joining the show it was his choice. He went with a movie from the mid-2000s that he's revisited time and again - 'Surviving Christmas'. A Ben Affleck vehicle that comes from a rocky era of his, just one year removed from 'Gili'. Fortunately, it features a strong supporting cast, with both Catherine O'Hara and the late James Gandolfini stealing the show and preventing this from being a complete disaster. Devoid of any type of strong holiday message, we spend much of the movie indulging Affleck's character's obnoxious desires, and despite some funny moments peppered throughout and a relatively strong third act, the tonal inconsistency and unlikability of the main character leave this movie mired in mediocrity. See you all again in 2026!

Episode 202 - Could Things Be Worse?
Dec 17, 2025

It is often said we're living through "unprecedented times", and I must admit that it rings true when reading the news. Normally, we're fortunate enough to be discussing the frivolous world of entertainment - shielding us from much of the dower nature of the the modern world. Unfortunately, that does not mean we are immune - this week proves there's still plenty of bad news in the entertainment world to go around. And while we try to focus on the fun stuff, sometimes the bad stuff threatens things we love, like creators, and movie theatres, and therefor must be called out. As such, Matt and Julian spend the front half of the show talking about the Netflix/WB deal, and the Disney's investment in AI. Pick your poison on that one. However, stick around, as things take a turn back to the fun as the latest in film and tv news is covered, including discussions about a new '28 Years Later' movie, a new 'Men in Black', 'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair', and 'Stranger Things',. All this and so much more on this week's Tower of Babble Podcast!

Julian joins Axel and Andy on The Daily DVR Podcast to wring out all the angst surrounding the impeding sale of Warner Bros. and their myriad of assets, including HBO, to Netflix. With Paramount still sniffing around this is far from done but all of it is far from good for fans of movies and TV.
