Mike and Mike are back for another new show. This week they only reviewed one movie….why? Because it was that awesome! They took a look at the new release ‘The Avengers’.

They also talk about whether or not the 3D effects were worth the extra $2.50….And something happened on this show that rarely does….someone gave out a perfect 10 rating! This and a quick discussion on HBOs hit series, Game of Thrones.

Hollywood took a week off in releasing anything good, so Mike and Mike followed suit and took last week off.
