FS #289: Overlooked DVD Picks / Sundance 2010 Recap / Top 5 2010 Movie Preview

Jan. 29: Adam spent last weekend in Park City, Utah, dodging avalanches by ducking into theaters at the Sundance Film Festival, and a despondent Matty hasn't left his house since Sunday when Brett Favre reverted to his gunslinger form and inexplicably threw across the field for an interception even though he had at least five yards of running room ahead of him and his kicker is a great dome kicker who can hit from 53 yards. Needless to say, the boys haven't been able to get to the cinema recently, so in lieu of a review of a new movie, the lads offer up some Overlooked DVD Picks. Plus, Adam reports back from his Sundance journey with a top five replete with enough documentaries to keep even Matty at bay. The guys then round out the outing by announcing their inaugural Golden Brick winner, and listing their Top 5 Most Anticipated Films of 2010. Jon Favreau, vengeance is yours!

Also on the show: Music by The Airborne Toxic Event and Massacre Theatre -- presented by Pixar Talk. This week's winner will get the Pixar DVD of their choice.

Oh, Adam, you went 0 for 3 in pronouncing Massachusetts city names...Groton rhymes with rotten, Amherst has a silent h, and Worcester is "Woosta"; or "Wista" if you're a native.

Wait... I totally pronounce Worcester "Woosta"... or at least I'm trying to! That's not how it sounded?

Check out Harry and Tonto a nice little film from the 70's that Art Carney was great in.

Am I nuts, or did Matty say De Niro is in Shutter Island? Does he know something we don't, or is he just mistaking Elias Koteas for him?

Can someone list the overlooked films either in the notes or the comments? My dad is always looking for new films, but he would never sit down and listen to an entire podcast.

Yeah he did say Deniro, Deniro'ss not in it as far as i know. What is it with Decaprio doing that accent in every movie with it.


Forgot all about the Rum Diaries thanks for the reminder, but im betting it will be one of those push back films.

I always think Elias Koteas is Christopher Meloni. Especially in "Benjamin Button." Just me?
