2008 in review pt. 1

2008 review pt.1  (right click or click)

We discuss some of our favorite films of the year as it comes to a close.  We note that most of the Oscar calibre films are not currently playing in our neck of the woods as such the podcast is lacking in the more high brow angle.  topics of discussion and thing mentioned briefly include:

  • Rule 34
  • Gary Cole
  • Rogen and Cera backlash
  • the rise of the pathetic protagonist
  • la Beouf’s multiple PR personalities
  • the joy of unexpected contextual and tonal changes
  • death by Daewoo
  • Hetero = Bad
  • Ellisverse

Apologia

It has been brought to my attention that we’ve been metering out more than our fair share of misogyny on the podcast latey.  As such I will make a sincere effort to “cut out the bad parts” as some dictator might say to his subordinates prior to culling the ranks of any unwanted or offensive members.    I am sure that the podcast can be both entertaining and free of offense.  If there is anything else you listeners would like me to address in terms of the technical quality or content of the episodes please feel free to email the podcast.  That is why I put it in every post and say it in every episode.
