Question.  Where exactly are the wild things?  Well, you could ask Maurice Sendak, Spike Jonze, Max Records… or you could just listen the podcast and find out!  Does the childhood classic turned hipster fantasy movie deliver?  We’ll tackle that question as well as the ostensible Hollywood cash-grab, “Michael Jackson’s This is It.”  How does the 50-year-old King of Pop compare to his 25-year-old or even 10-year-old counterpart?  Does this flick have anything real to offer casual movie-goers?  All that and more in this week’s episode of the FilmCast!

    You guys were cracking me up with the 14 different possible pronunciations for This Is It.

    That Was It?

    Good analysis of the Wild Things, though I wish you had focused a little more on what you liked about it rather than spending most of the time deflecting the common criticisms.

    Thanks! We have a good time doing the show…even if we get carried away sometimes :)

    And I think you make a good point about our review of Wild Things. I listened to the show afterward and noticed that we did focus more on outside criticisms rather than criticisms of our own. Thanks for the feedback, and hopefully we'll keep improving the show!
