Cinecast #26: March To The Beat
Driven into the arthouse last weekend thanks to uninspiring mainstream releases, your Cinecast co-hosts took the opportunity to catch a couple of this summer's less-hyped movies. Adam took his three year-old son to see the surprise hit of the summer, the National Geographic documentary March of the Penguins, while Sam threw on a beret and took himself to see The Beat That My Heart Skipped, French director Jacques Audiard's remake of the 1978 American film "Fingers." According to Sam, Audiard's remake is worth seeking out -- and a big improvement over writer/director James Toback's cult classic original. Adam was moved by "Penguins," and his emotional evocation of the egg-passing ritual should earn him the podcasting equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.
Also on the show, Cinecast listeners do our dirty work and review "Stealth," "Sky High" and "Must Love Dogs." Plus, our Overlooked DVD Picks of the Week and the Top 5 Movies of the Year (So Far).
Music by Kelly Hogan courtesy of Bloodshot Records ... additional music by Haywood Yards ... Cinecast theme music by Age of the Rifle.

Great show. I'd actually rather you guys review obscure movies like these.
"Hustle and Flow" #1 film? Oh God gentlemen.....
what? No Dukes of Hazard review?

...just kidding about the Dukes review...But I am glad to see two new podcast since last week. This should make the mandatory overtime go by much easier.
I am a relatively new subscriber and was just catching up on some of your old shows, when I heard you say "Kelly Hogan"...I nearly dropped my iPod!
Kelly is originally from Atlanta, where I used to live. I became good friends with her brother Skip around the time that she and her band at the time, The Jody Grind, released their debut album. She has an incredible voice! If you enjoy her music now, I strongly encourage you to grab a copy of "One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure" and "Lefty's Deceiver", the two albums that were released by The Jody Grind before a horrible accident claimed the lives of two of the band members.
