Flickchart & the Filmspotting podcast

Post date: Nov 12, 2009 5:10:18 AM

Like many of you out there -- as the various internet phenomena of the last 10-12 years have unfolded, I certainly haven't been behind the curve.AOL dialup, Expage, Yahoo!, Geocities and Angelfire, Newgrounds, College Humor, AIM, Maddox, Ebaumsworld, cable internet, Google, YTMND, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, mobile IM, mobile internet, and things of that sort didn't just come by without my noticing and taking part to one degree or another in a timely fashion. Twitter did to some extent, but I'm on it now, and I can see I really didn't miss much. Following the trending topics is almost certain to cause brain damage . . . But I digress.The point being that I've just now, in the last 3 or 4 weeks, gotten into listening to podcasts, which, I know, is so three years ago.

"The Flagship Film Podcast"

“The flagship film podcast” featuring in-depth reviews, top 5 lists and interviews.

This week Adam and Matty break out their best polyester and bell-bottom ensembles for a march on the 1970s San Francisco Castro district with a review of "Milk," Gus Van Sant's highly anticipated cinematic biography of Harvey Milk, the country's first openly gay politician. Will Sean Penn manage to approximate the real-life Milk's unfettered joie di vive, or will the intense actor's performance leave Matty wanting less? And will "Milk" displace "Paranoid Park" as Adam's favorite Gus Van Sant movie of the year?

Then the lads set the dial on the Way Back Machine even farther and take a trip to 1940's Australia with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman in Baz Luhrmann's epic love story "Australia." Listen as Adam and Matty alienate their devoted followers in Melbourne, trotting out every obvious Australian reference they can find while debating the finer points of a shirtless Hugh Jackman, magical Aborigines, and the '80s American classic "Cocktail."

His demeanor masks the fact of being a serial killer. His modus operandi is to act as a person with a medical background, lure unsuspecting women to his apartment on the pretense of curing them of some ailment, knock them unconscious with carbon monoxide gas, gain his sexual release through contact with the unconscious body, then strangle the victim dead before disposing of the body somewhere in the house or outside area. His next intended target is Beryl Evans, a young woman who has just moved into the top flat in the house. Beryl's husband, Tim Evans, is an illiterate man who likes to put on airs. Already with an infant daughter named Geraldine, the Evanses learn they are going to have another baby, which they cannot afford to have, nor can they afford to abort the pregnancy. This problem, on top of the constant issue of lack of money in all aspect
