This week on Operation Kino we're waxing our chests and strapping on G-strings, as we review the new Steven Soderbergh/Channing Tatum male stripper movie Magic Mike. From there we look over the year so far, pointing out our favorite and least favorite movies of the year so far, along with some of our favorite surprises. Before any of that, though, there's a lightning round inspired by the hotness of the Magic Mike cast, plus tidbits, in which Da7e tackles the depiction of women in Girls and The Legend of Korra, David talks up the Steven Soderbergh documentary about Spalding Gray called And Everything Is Going Fine, Katey praises the new indie release Beasts of the Southern Wild, and Patches is surprised to love Seth MacFarlane's Ted. We end, as always, with your lightning round answers for dessert.
