Elitist Bastards: Airbenders, Vampires and Centipedes … Oh My!

In this week’s podcast, Xpress film critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther examine: current and upcoming releases The Last Airbender, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Micmacs and The Human Centipede; smile wryly at the classic Vincent Price horror film The Abominable Dr. Phibes; champion the upcoming Asheville Film Society screening of The Fall; and show some enthusiasm for soon-to-open flicks Predators, Despicable Me and Winter’s Bone.

Podcast produced/“cohered” by Steve Shanafelt for MountainX.com. The theme music is “1832” by E. Lee. The Elitist Bastards podcast is also available on the iTunes store as a free download.

  1. I sent in some art for this weeks release, but I guess I missed the deadline.

    By the by, what’s the deal with these sometimes being on the Movies page of the site and sometimes not?

    If you sent it to the XpressMovies@aol.com address, the internet must’ve eaten it. Care to sent it again?

    That I do not know, but I’ll ask.

    Done! Check your mailbox.

    I did it was there. It was also perhaps the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen. It seems very strange to be thanking someone for making monkeys out of us, but thank you.
