In this episode of Slice & Dice, Dan and Steve grab their battle axes and venture back into Middle Earth to see what Bilbo and the Dwarves are up to in the second installment of the Hobbit trilogy, The Desolation of Smaug. Will we discover a decent film in the midst of Peter Jackson's bloated tale? We also spend some time pondering the casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in the Superman/Batman movie and Emilia Clarke as the new Sarah Connor. Come with me if you want to live, Kalessi. We also briefly feign interest in the SAG and Golden Globe nominations where Steve reiterates his odd infatuation with Amy Poehler. Looking for something good to check out?
