FS #226: Burn After Reading / Toronto Recap / Egoyan Interview / Fall Movie Preview

Sept. 12: George Clooney joins Brad Pitt for some Dumb and Dumber antics in the latest Coen Bros. comedy "Burn After Reading." Will the Brothers Coen follow up their critically-acclaimed "No Country for Old Men" with another sensational effort? Or will "Burn After Reading" leave Adam and Matty nostalgic for the likes of "The Ladykillers" and "Intolerable Cruelty" ... yikes. Plus, Matty was so excited when he heard Adam had brought him a gift from his recent trip to the Toronto International Film Festival; Matty was holding out hope for a lock of Bryan Adams' hair but would have been satisfied with a six pack of Molson. Fortunately for Filmspotting fans (but unfortunately for Matty), Adam came back bearing his Top 5 Toronto Films and an interview with legendary Canadian director Atom Egoyan ("The Sweet Hereafter") discussing his new film "Adoration." Plus, your hosts find time to preview the Fall slate with their Top 5 Most Anticipated Fall Movies.

Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre and music by Ari Hest.

FS Revisited: R. Johnson / Linklater / Winterbottom / Top 5 Coen Bros. Scenes

Sept. 5: "Clip show, clip show, CLIP SHOW!" Exhausted and relieved, Adam and Matty are performing an ad hoc Conga line around the Filmspotting studios. With Adam heading North to cover the Toronto International Film Festival and Matty fulfilling his community service... or, um, otherwise engaged... this week Filmspotting digs into the vaults to bring you some of the shows "best of" conversations with directors Rian Johnson ("Brick"), Richard Linklater (above, "Fast Food Nation") and Michael Winterbottom ("A Mighty Heart").

Plus, in honor of the 10th Anniversary of "The Big Lebowski," the guys really tie the room together with a replay of their Top 5 Coen Bros. Scenes. Filmspotting will be back in full voice next week with a review of the new Coen Bros. movie "Burn After Reading" and Adam's Toronto recap.

Music from the "Donnie Darko" soundtrack courtesy of Everloving Records.
