The Berger Bits

Oh, yeah! There’s a lot of white powder around my studio. It’s probably not what you think it is, though. The biggest news is that the unaltered, original Star Wars trilogy is likely to be heading to Blu-ray in 2015! This is fantastic news for those of us who hold the pre-Special Editions so dearly. The […]

Yes! I skipped another one! I admit it! Things happen. I’ve been a busy little boy lately, okay? Anyway, I’m in a really good mood during this show, but there are people out there who really need to shut the hell up. They’re making the rest of humanity look bad. You’ll understand more when you […]

Whoops, I think I did it again and skipped listing the previous podcast here. I blame having three kids because they do things to your mind. Anyway, Amazon enters the streaming hardware market, Captain America 2 breaks records all over, the MPAA are narrow-minded hypocrites (not that we didn’t know that already), Christopher Nolan defends film […]

It’s time for the world’s biggest popularity contest! The Oscars have arrived and … and … pfft.

The world mourns the death of Harold Ramis, Disney launches hundreds […]

Yes, I know, I skipped #113 here but you should be going to widescreen.org, my RSS feed, or iTunes to get my podcasts anyway. 😉 In this episode Hollywood loses two icons, Sony’s budget 4K TVs are still expensive, movies at home for $35K, Aereo gets a victory as networks cry like babies, more Star Trek […]

Abrams closes the deal to direct “Star Wars Episode 7” putting 3D prequel releases on hold, Super Bowl movie trailers have been revealed, MGM announces some reboots, “Star Trek Into Darkness” might (finally) have Klingons and another option for the villain is found (and it’s NOT Khan, so stop it!), high frame rate is […]

What happened to #106?  It’s there, but I forgot to post about it here.  (Whoops!)  Unfortunately, bronchitis has struck me (hard) once again!  Oh, the joys of having bad lungs!  I can only imagine how much worse I’d be if I had actually started smoking at some point in my life. Because my throat is […]

Get ready for podcast #105, although it might be a downer for a lot of you. One empire takes over a different “Empire”, a “Blade Runner” sequel is happening, Ubisoft gets a partner for their “Assassins Creed” film, the BBC iPlayer is blocked in the US by Comcast and Time-Warner, the “Firefly” crew reunites, 4K is […]
