FS Interviews Revisited: Josh Brolin / Todd Haynes / Ellen Page-Diablo Cody

March 7: Filmspotting is celebrating its three-year anniversary with a week off... Adam is spending time with the kids who no longer know his name, while Matty is acquainting himself with the filmography of Apichatpong Weerasethakul (it's about time!). But lest we leave you without a Filmspotting fix, we offer this look back at three Oscar-themed interviews from the past year -- conversations with Josh Brolin ("No Country for Old Men"), Todd Haynes ("I'm Not There") and Ellen Page and Diablo Cody ("Juno.")

Of course, it occurs to us now that rather than going with three (recent) interviews connected by Oscar, it probably would have been more fun to really dig into the vault and revisit conversations that newer Filmspotting listeners may have missed -- Richard Linklater, Todd Field and Rian Johnson, for example. There's always next anniversary... Sorry.

Note that the memorable "Transformers" voicemail was the handiwork of Greg Rice from Valencia, CA. Great stuff, Greg.

FS #187: I'm Not There / Todd Haynes Interview / Beowulf

November 21: Jewels and binoculars hang from the heads of Matty and Adam in this week's abbreviated Thanksgiving edition of Filmspotting as they spend a few minutes discussing the new 3D animated "Beowulf," and then parse through the new avant-garde Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There."

Plus, Adam sits down with "I'm Not There" writer/director Todd Haynes to find out which Dylan album is his favorite and why he envisioned a woman portraying the newly-electrified, mid-60s version of the singer/songwriter.
