Padrecast: Pre-E3 Edition
The final Padrecast before E3 arrives is an epic one with Dylan (aka Jerkfacefave) joining myself and Fred. There is discussion about what we are looking forward to out of E3 but first we run down some of the news of the week including our thoughts on UFC 2010 and 3D gaming. We then turn to some comic book adaptation talk which inevitably leads to Kim Kardashian and Ken Jeong coming up before finishing with our feelings on Splice and Get Him to the Greek. Below is just some of what is discusse...
