Racing galore this week with Speed Racer, maybe the surprise of the Summer, and Mario Kart Wii, which contains no surprises at all. Plus, 300% more Moms!
This week in Movies:
The Waichowski Brothers rocketed to the top of the geek world when they released The Matrix, then came crashing down with its poorly received sequels. Speed Racer is their first project since, and marks quite a departure from the dark, violent world of Neo and co. Alex, Dan, and Jeff go speed go into the experience hoping for a return to form... do they get it?
Bioshock, Jeff's favorite video game of 2007, is going to be a movie directed by Gore Verbinski. The guys speculate on its chances of actually being good.
This week in Video Games:
Another of Nintendo's staples has been retro-fitted for the Wii. Alex, Dan, and Jeff grab the new Wii-wheel and takeMario Kart Wii for a spin.
EA has released a new video for their new franchise, Mirror's Edge. Could this parkor action-adventure title be Dan's dream come true?
Plus:
It's Mother's Day! The guys sit down with their moms and find out exactly how they were Raised on Rad.

ok, so I'm super far behind here thanks to my complete and total obsession with my other life in Liberty City, but now that I have finally beaten that, I am catching back up on the rad-ness and pledge to be caught up for next Tuesday.
the open for this episode: BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT.

I'd go so far to say that the acting in Speed Racer is better than Iron Man (except for the awesome Robert Downey Jr.)! ;)
Totally agree with both Dan and Jeff, I saw the film with my sister, and we loved it from start to finish. You've never seen a movie quite like this before, this movie has raised the bar for visuals in a film. Even did a podcast on it :D

"But I was going to tosche station to pick up some power converters!"
I guess I always saw his performance as his character being so completely sheltered and incredibly naive to everything...I've known a couple people who were like that and they walked around in life with behaviors that could be mistaken for them trying to act but failing, but actually they were just awkward...

I almost always tend to agree with Alex when it comes to movies, so I think i'll just avoid Speed Racer and save my money for something else.

Appa plushies may go down as one of the most prized pieces of memorabilia of recent times.
Nick has been staggeringly short-sighted when it comes to AVATAR merchandise. In fact, in the superb fan-made short THE LAST PUPPERBENDER (*link*

You may want to be careful with which one you get. I saw that Appa and thought the same thing as you, so I scoured the net for them... and found more info behind the plushie that I ever needed to know.
According to this forum (Link), the plush Appa was originally only sold through Paramount Theme Parks (now called Cedar Fair). On that other forum, if you scroll down the page about halfway, you'll see the picture of the original Appa, and the Nickelodeon one...
...imho, the Nick one looks like a cheap knock-off from the original.
From that forum, I found that the "Mall of America" actually sells the 18" Appa plush online for $21.95 here: LINK (along with the other characters)
Now.... there was another website, AirbenderNation.com that appears to sell the old Appa (21")... but for almost $50.
I ordered the Mall of America one last night.... so we'll see how it looks when it gets here.
Hope that info helps!
Cheers,
Mark
