Cinecast #84: Floating Weeds/Top 5 Cop Movies

Floating Weeds/Top 5 Cop Movies: By the end of the Overlooked Auteurs Marathon, Adam and Sam were starting to feel like selfish lovers. It was good for them ... but was it any good for you? They certainly hope so. Cinecast wraps up its Overlooked Auteurs Marathon with Yasujiro Ozu's 1959 film "Floating Weeds." More accessible, and only slight less profound, than Ozu's "Tokyo Story," "Weeds" provided further proof that Ozu is without question one of the most unique filmmakers of the 20th century. Next week -- because who doesn't love an awards show? -- Adam and Sam will hand out their Best of the Overlooked Auteurs Marathon awards. (And if you've got an idea for a catchy award name, such as The MacGuffins or The Dukes, please pass it along!)

Also on the show: Listener Feedback and our Top 5 Cop Movies.

As promised during the podcast, you can read Adam's review of the Bill Paxton-directed "Frailty" here.

Music by Dag Shaw and Alejandro Escovedo ... Cinecast theme music by Age of the Rifle.
