This week the Bastards put their two cents on the demos for Medal of Honor, DeathSpank, Limbo and Death Track: Resurrection, as well as the full game of Skate 3. Plus Anvil gives his take on the week in sports, and the Bastards review the movies Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Undisputed 3: Redemption.

The Bastards have prepared a snack-sized version of their show for those with less time to listen (and need more time to dream).

Plus all five B3 members give their take on the new Christopher Nolan film Inception, Dark Heart reviews The Sorcerer's Apprentice and Anvil & Pink Taco give their own opinions of Despicable Me.

While the King is away on a trip (and the next episode of B3 in post-production), the Bastards would like to present a sneak preview of a (possible) upcoming side-Podcast show.

Since 2006 King Baby Duck and Blueonic have been hosting the J-POP/Alternative radio show No Borders No Race on 91.7 WMWM Salem. However with time constraints due to work inside and outside of B3 the duo haven't been able to do the radio show for a few weeks. That is why they are considering doing another Podcast show to keep supporting musical artists from Japan, America, Canada, UK, Scandinavia and the rest of the world.

Here's a special sneak preview of the show. The playlist is as followed (with links to preview & purchase the albums):

1. the pillows - Melody (from OOParts)
2. GO!GO!7188 - Chikyuu Saigo no hi (from Antenna)
3. Suneohair - Aimokawarazu (from SUN!NEO!AIR!)
4. Ketchup mania - Pink Water (from F.L.A.G.)
5. Turbonegro - Wipe It Til It Bleeds (from Scandinavian Leather)
6. detroit7 - Down Beat (from Black & White)
7. Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - Smokin' Billy (from Gear Blues)
8. ORANGE RANGE - UN ROCK STAR (from ORANGE)
9. Hunter Valentine - Break This (from The Impatient Romantic)
10. chatmonchy - CAT WALK (from Kokuhaku)
11. THE CHERRY COKE$ - Graceful Harvest (from Rouse Up)
12. PUFFY - I Don't Wanna (from Bring it!)
13. Detroit Metal City - Fuckingham Kyuuden (from Makai yuugi ~for the movie~)
14. Molice - Into You (from Catalystrock)
15. FLiP - Bad Communication (from Kanshou Chuudoku)
16. Nujabes - Luv (sic.) pt3 feat. Shing02 (from modal soul)

For almost a year her name has been spoken of, but no one knew if she truly existed. This week she makes her grand debut, making it the first time ever the five original Bastards are in the same episode.

Pink Taco (FINALLY!!!) joins the B3 crew, as they touch on such topics as Slash's solo album, the highlights of this year's E3, an "Oh For Fuck's Sake!" dealing with the cutting of librarians in the school system and a quick week in sports. Also there's an ice cream truck playing in the background somewhere.

On their 50th episode (already?!) the B3 crew discuss the movie The A-Team, the week in sports, Dunkin' Donuts VS Starbucks VS mom-&-pop chains, the anime Baccano!, the new album by Stone Temple Pilots, the recent show from the_Stampede and the video game The Saboteur.

Okay, I have no comment for the picture above.

This week the Bastards discuss the week in sports, Get Him To The Greek, Super Mario Galaxy 2, UFC Undisputed 2010 and Planet MiniGolf.

(Apologies for the audio quality in advance. First time recording with the Mac, and some distortion happened. Our bad.)
