FS #225: Vicky Cristina Barcelona / Heist Marathon Awards / Top 5 Canadian Films

August 29: Matty couldn't complete his big post-production task -- writing the clever show description that goes here -- before jetting off to scenic Wyoming, a mythic land without computers or the Internet. And since he's the creative one... This week, please enjoy our review of Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," starring Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall and Javier Bardem. Plus, we hand out "The Stephies," our Classic Heist Marathon Awards, and look forward to next week's Toronto International Film Festival with a countdown of our Top 5 Canadian Films.

Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre, a Spout.com Telluride Film Festival Preview and new music by Touch and Go Records artists Calexico, The Uglysuit and The New Year.
