The 2009 Academy Awards!

The Final Cut in Movies: Putting Science Fiction & Fantasy Center Stage

The Final Cut in Movies is a talk radio show I host that airs throughout the week from 2:00 to 3:00 am & pm on Ad Astra Radio: The World's Premier Science Fiction Talk Radio Network ® (www.adastraradio.com). I also podcast the show each week on iTunes.

On this week’s show, I'll be discussing The 2009 Academy Awards, how much the Academy Awards (and the Academy... and Hollywood... and movie reviewers..) annoys me, and how annoyed I am that it's been quite some time since Hollywood has released a good science fiction and fantasy movie in theaters. (I mean, seriously, the most time tested stories in our world are myths, a.k.a. science fiction and fantasy stories.) I'll also be hosting the very first, highly-coveted 2009 M.B. Awards, so you'll want to listen in to see if your favorite movie or actor won one!

M. B. Weston's Box Office Predictions: Which movies will top the charts this week?  I'm gazing into the future and predicting that these movies will top the box office once Monday hits. Be sure to check back on Monday to see just how close I got. (And you can make fun of me if I'm way off.)
