Time travel and dystopia reign this week as Kristen Meinzer and Rafer Guzman take on "Free Birds," "Ender's Game," and "About Time." Plus, Kristen interviews Mary Steenburgen who stars as a lounge singer in the new movie "Last Vegas." "Free Birds," tells the tale of two turkeys, voiced by Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson, who attempt to change the course of history in hopes of saving their fellow birds from their yearly Thanksgiving fate. Amy Poehler and George Takei also lend their voices to this computer-animated flick. "Ender's Game," based on the popular 1985 science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card, follows the adventures of a boy named Ender, who is recruited along with other children to serve in the military in the not-too-distant future. Rachel McAdams, Domhnall Gleeson, and Bill Nighy star in "About Time," Richard Curtis' new rom-com about a man who learns he can travel back in time. Finally, Kristen chats with Mary Steenburgen who, along with Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, and Kevin Kline, stars in the Baby Boomer bromance "Last Vegas."
