Filmspotting Revisited w/ Guest Host David Chen

December 25: Adam and Matty bid you Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays by taking the week off... but thankfully, /Film managing editor and /Filmcast host David Chen is here to revisit some of his favorite Filmspotting segments, including discussions of "There Will Be Blood," "The Happening" and "Soylent Green," plus the Top 5 Coen Bros. Scenes.

FS #193: There Will Be Blood / The Bucket List / Top 5 Most Anticipated Movies of 2008

January 11: Daniel Day-Lewis' "Milkshake" brings all the Filmspotting boys to the yard as Adam and Matty finally get a chance to discuss Paul Thomas Anderson's latest epic "There Will Be Blood." Adam ranked "Blood" as one of the best films of 2007 ... Would it have found its way onto Matty's Top 10 list as well? Your hosts also find time to check in on Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson in the Rob Reiner-directed buddy movie "The Bucket List."

Plus, Massacre Theatre, Listener Feedback and our Top 5 Most Anticipated Movies of 2008.

Music by Biirdie from the album "Catherine Wheel" courtesy of Everloving Records.

Filmspotting is presented by Spout, a gathering place for people who love movies. In January, spout.com will present BUTTERKNIFE, a new generation detective series made by a new generation of filmmakers. Find out more at butterknife.spout.com.
