# Episode #54 – Gamer

Don’t hate the player; hate the game. On second thought, hate the [Gamer](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034032/). Meanwhile, Dan laments the downfall of the previously-dependable entertaining-trash team of Neveldine/Taylor, Matt finds his new super-muscular bête noir, and Elliott comes up with a much wackier way to end an already wacky movie.

 0:00 – 0:36 – Introductions and Theme
 0:37 – 33:42- We welcome Matt Koff, our second guest host of a still-young 2010, and we introduce him to a rising star named Gerard Butler, in a little film called Gamer.
 33:43 – 37:57 – Final Judgments (Dan: almost-good/bad bad, Elliott: bad bad, Matt: bad bad bad)
 37:58 – 48:38- A very navel-gazing movie mailbag.
 38:39 – 51:47 – Two out of three sad [bastards](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050766/) [recommend](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368226/)ing aint’ bad.
 51:48 – 52:37 – Goodbyes, theme, and outtakes.
