FS #259: The Brothers Bloom / Rian Johnson / The Girlfriend Experience / Top 5 Con Movies

May 29: FPPLE, Film Podcast seeks Podcast Listener Experience
You: Must love dog racing, the collected works of Rush, and listening to riveting discussions of Steven Soderbergh's films, including his latest "The Girlfriend Experience," starring adult film star Sasha Grey. Tolerance for gambling debts and raging debates over the merits of the new con film starring Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody and Rachel Weisz, "The Brothers Bloom," a must. Long walks on the beach unnecessary, but must have appreciation for interviews with "The Brothers Bloom" writer/director Rian Johnson. Ability to name Top 5 Con Movies of all-time a plus. Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, and Kennedys encouraged to submit headshot, lock of hair, and resume to matty@filmspotting.net.

Also on the show: Massacre Theatre -- presented by In Review Online -- and music by Syd.

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.
