Ben and Corey unveil the inaugural Aspy nominations, featuring their favorite performances, scenes, lines and music from 2012 films.

They also run down what they consider the most overrated and underrated movies of the year. Winners will be announced on the year-end show when they also announce their top 10 favorite films of 2012.

The guys also talk Michael Haneke’s austere mortality tale “Amour,” nominated for five Oscars including best picture, director, actress, screenplay and foreign language film.

And, of course, they pay tribute to the great Steven Soderbergh by begging the prolific filmmaker to skip this abrupt retirement, and they review his “final” theatrical release “Side Effects,” starring Rooney Mara and Jude Law.

Also, Parting Shots from Graham Flanagan and Ben Stark.
