HooperCast Episode 17.5

Hello everyone!
Sorry, I've been a stranger lately. 
I've been busy with my life, and I had some spare time last night to chat with
Dustin about film stuff, so we thought we'd record a little something to tide you over until
Episode 18 pops. Pops right outta there. Like a baby.
So here's an episode about Batman movies, The Hobbit, and frankly a lot of impressive non sequiturs
that end up keeping us on track. 
Very funny throughout. But I'm biased. But I'm also right.
0:00 - Intro

2:34 - Dustin's Blu-ray snag of the week
3:26 - Dustin comments on Joss Whedon's Batman pitch

10:04 - Dustin's Batman idea.
11:00 - Why we think there should be a Batman Beyond movie and our choice for Terry McGuiness
13:43 - A small bit about Terry Crews
14:27 - Dumb and Dumber 2 shooting in September. Good or bad?

17:13 - Our thoughts on the negative CinemaCon reaction to "The Hobbit", frame rates for movies and television, and why no one should be worried about the quality of the film. Also, the evolution of technology.
27:20 - "5 second impressions"
29:37 - How does Rick Baker design hundreds of aliens??
30:15 - Having fun with Dustin's microphone malfunction
