listen to the show now

[I'll be introducing 'The Messenger' at its 7:30 Premiere this Friday here in Nashville at The Belcourt Theatre]

In this week’s action-packed, adrenaline-fueled thrill-ride of an episode Gareth and I talk with actor Ben Foster about his experience of making the extraordinary new film The Messenger’, why he wants listeners to write a romantic comedy for him, and the quality of Woody Harrelson’s grass.  Richard Kelly’s ‘The Box’ is reviewed, we count down our favourite films from our 100 shows;  even though it may be a mistake, an excerpt from our first episode is exhumed, and as part of ‘Operation Save The Film Talk’ we offer free iTunes Movie Documentaries to the first four listeners who become TFT Members this week.

The Tuesday Top Five: Anthropomorphic Animals in the Cinema Zoo

I say ‘webby’ cause it’s well known that having posts containing numbered lists, such as a Top 5, or ones tied to days of the week, such as Twitter’s Follow Friday, are a quick way to Internet Gold.

So jealous am I of Gareth, not just his fine baritone and pleasant demeanor, but now his Internet Gold – that I am forced to follow with my own gimmicky post.  So here it is:

Worthwhile Web Wednesdays, (or WWW – get it? sigh…).

In which I present to you Dear Listener interesting little film stories I’ve found over the interwebs these last few days.  Ok, are you sitting comfortably?  Then let’s begin:
