Waking up on Saturday mornings with a bowl of your favorite sugary cereal, will no longer be the same now that networks are not airing a block of cartoons.  Gary and Andrew reminisce on their favorite cartoons that they grew up on, in their respective generations.  Looking back on Scooby Doo, Wacky Races, Batman the Animated Series. Tail Spin, Duck Tales, and others. James Spader feels that classic films are no longer received as they once were.  The guys take a close look at this quote and discuss why this may or may not be true.  The film industry is definitely changing some elements for the better, others for the worse. Local Theaters like independent filmmakers need to pay closer attention to detail and emulate the professional theater.  Andrew shares his hatred for act curtains and black outs.  Professional shows are not using these old techniques why should amateur theaters? The E-Pix pick of the week.  Gary suggest to watch the two hour block on ABC on Sunday nights of Once Upon a Time and Resurrection.  Andrew is sending you out to the theaters this Friday to see Robert Downey Jr. in the Judge. Gary has finally watched the season Premiere of Gotham, not quite has all the elements for him.  The shows just entering their second season have a big challenge ahead of them. A vault in Paris has unearthed a once forgotten silent film from 1916 of Sherlock Holmes starring William Gillette.  A world famous actor of stage, believed to have his footage on film lost forever is now turned up. entertainmentpix@zoominternet.netwww.facebook.com/entertainmentpix@epixtv on Twitter and Instagram

One week into the  Fall TV line up and people are a bit underwhelming.  Despite the Hype of Gotham it falls short and has a few things working against it.  Being a well know story of Batman the buildup is lost knowing the outcome.  Andrew and Gary watch only because it is Batman. Scorpion looks very intriguing, but their depiction of Nerds is far off.  Very much like Big bang Theory in their 9 season is a fun show but not accurate to nerds.  you can't call a nerd a nerd if they are not a nerd. The concern with main stream medina is it is strongly driven by business men that are buying programming based solely on the return dollar.  Independent artist are able to make quality content without being help down by other purse strings.  New Media is a great platform for people to ingest the type of content they want to see. Chad Kapper the Director/producer of Rotor DR1 is on the phone to discuss this exciting project.  Rotor DR1 is an new sci-fi web series about a boy and a multi rotor drone in a post cataclysmic effect that wiped much of civilization.  The fascinating process is the filmmakers are relying on the audience to shape every detail of the show. Andrew has just returned from a trip the New York City.  He gives his review of seeing Alan Cumming on Broadway as the Emcee in Cabaret.  A role that he originated in the 1998 revival at the Roundabout Studio 54 theater.  He also got the thrill of seeing Phantom of the Opera front row center. The history of entertainment beginning with theater and radio transitioned to Movies, TV has seen audiences transition from place to place.  Producers answerer to this has been to blend the mediums.  Such as playing Broadway shows on theater screens, hiring film actors to work on Broadway, and writing books just to turn into a movie. This episode wraps up with Gary's quick run down of the Fall TV line up until he falls into exhaustion. www.entertainmentpix.comwww.facebook.com/entertainmentpix@epixtv twitter and instagramwww.rotordr1.comwww.facebook.com/rotordr1www.youtube.com/rotordr1

Andrew Knode and Gary Kiser, continue their quest to bring you the truest form of entertainment news, by reporting on entertainment content and not celebrity tabloid gossip.  To that end they are finally able to talk about Kim Kardashian because she voiced a character on American Dad last night.  She spoke for an alien that was described as a sexier version on cousin It. YouTube Sensation PogieJoe calls in for a fun interview to talk about his newest project a full length musical exclusively on YouTube.  They talk about a connection they have in both working with Erik Estrada.  They also discuss what motivates artist to create content, PogieJoe enjoys taking on new challenges and pulled off the task of creating a great musical.  And he gives an EPix exclusive about his next project.  And finally although PogieJoe is more of a Star Wars guy, like Andrew, he does enjoy the web Series Star Trek Continues, and may have an in to Get Andrew And Gary connected. In this Week's EPix Pick of the Week, Gary recommends Tom Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow and Andrew Recommends Team Coco, Conan O'Brien's YouTube channel. In a recent poll conducted by Netflix of Canada 9 out of 10 people do not let spoiler ruin their viewing experience.  Although Gary was disappointed to find out the new season of House of Cards has been pushed back, he does binge watch the seasons so spoilers do not bother him.  Andrew does his best to avoid any information about his favorite shows, but even if a spoiler does slip through it does not affect his enjoyment of watching Lost or 24. Finally this hour this wrapped up with an inside look at the process going into EPix latest project the web series On Air. www.facebook.com/entertainmentpix@epixtv on twitter and instagramemail at entertainmentpix@zoominternet.netwww.youtube.com/pogiejoewww.facebook.com/pogiejoe@pogiejoe on twitter and instagram
