|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VideoX Men: First Class Reviewed by Rotten Tomatoes on infoMania | Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox review "X Men: First Class," a rousing reboot of the musty Marvel Comics franchise. This origin story traces how such familiar characters as Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Professor X (James McAvoy) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) discovered and developed their powers, set primarily against the backdrop of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Think "Mad Men" with mutants. Fridays at 9:00/8:00c on Current TV | 6/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | VideoThe Hangover Part 2 reviewed by Rotten Tomatoes on infoMania | Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox review "The Hangover Part 2," the sequel to the top-grossing R-rated comedy of all time. This time the "Wolf Pack" (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis) again needs to piece together a wild night on the eve of a wedding, but in Bangkok rather than Las Vegas. Alas, the comic inspiration and originality seems to have been left behind in customs as well. Fridays at 9:00/8:00c on Current TV | 6/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 3 | Video'Priest' reviewed by Rotten Tomatoes on infoMania | Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox review "Priest," which stars Paul Bettany as the title character, a member of a disbanded order of warrior priests who springs into action to fight vampires in a post-apocalyptic future world. But heed the sermon from Brett and Ellen: Save your money. infoMania airs on Fridays at 9/8c on Current TV. | 6/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Rest in pieces
Great show until they ruined it with the clips. Seems like no one is happy with the lack of full episodes now
Lame
This used to be a full show and I loved it for years. I would spend the half hour laughing and feeling informed. Now, for some reason, they've changed their podcast. I loved the show, and these snippets, and now just "web extras" are not a good replacement.
I'm giving it another week or two to see if they revert, then I'm unsubscribing and calling it a wash. I looked forward to this every week. I don't get cable, and my internet is too slow for streaming video like they have on their website.
What a disappointment.
Eh...
Great show but the clips just don't work
Hurry up and bring back the full episodes
