As you know Dear Listener I am a huge fan of Speed Racer - I actually think it’s kinda great, (which lead to quite a disagreement between Professor Doctor Gareth Higgins and I in this ep of ‘TFT’).

Anyhew, here’s a great interview with visual effects supervisors John Gaeta and Dan Glass about the processes involved in making the film, (warning: very tech
heavy).

Speed Racer: Go Go Go Anime

In other news I have to tell you I’m bursting to talk about the themes/meaning behind the new Will Smith vehicle ‘Hancock’, but convention dictates that I hold back as the Professor Doctor must have no idea as to my views until we actually record the show!  Oh well, I’ll hold on.

(Photo above: two of the stars of ‘Hancock’ share a meal.  I like the fact that Sony chose this as a promotional image, ((available as a download from their site)), considering that Jason Bateman is not even looking at Charlize Theron).
