This one gets a five because the producers are very boring & monotone. However, Jayson Fleming & Tony Curran are a riot. Tony has great stories about Sean Connery.

I can only echo Littlejerry's thoughts. This is an okay track. It's nothing spectacular but it's good enough. The two British guys (Mr. Curran and Mr. Flemyng) are together, while the three others talk individually. The producers talk about production stuff. You learn about 4 different times that the set was submerged because of the worst flooding in 300 years in the Czech Republic. You learn that all but 3 days were shot in the Czech Republic, and that it was the biggest production shot almost entirely in that country (up to that point, at least). You learn about the changes made between the comic and the movie, and why they were made. One of the producers (I forget which one) talks about the decision to put in Tom Sawyer (who wasn't in the comic). Guess what, the studio wanted an American in there, and they wanted a young American. I hate studios. The actors are more fun, spending more time with off set stories. The two British guys tell stories of Sean Connery, a few of which are very funny. Shane West talks about his experiences with making such a huge movie and that sort of thing. I would have liked a group track, but as it is, it's still a nice listen.
