Popped! With Daniel, Ben and Tanya

Send us a Text Message.

Daniel, Tanya and Guest Host Eric Cheung discuss the Michael Bay Science Fiction/Action spectacular summer blockbuster flop of 2005, "The Island".
What does a director known for making 2 hour popcorn commercials do with weighty, heady material surrounding the question of "what it is to be human"? Will the story be as good as the action? Or is it just another fluff piece disguised as a thought provoking science fiction examination of deeper meaning?
