Elitist Bastards: Bastards from Mars

Posted on by Ken Hanke and Justin Souther

In this week’s Elitist Bastards Go To The Movies podcast, Mountain Xpress film critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther discuss current releases Arthur, Hanna, Soul Surfer, Your Highness and The Conspirator. The duo also discuss Invaders from Mars (this week’s Thursday Horror Picture Show) and The Dreamers (next week’s Asheville Film Society screening), and then speculate about the potential quality of upcoming releases Atlas Shrugged, Rio, Certified Copy, Win Win and Scream 4.

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

    and then speculate about the potential quality of upcoming releases Atlas Shrugged, Rio, Certified Copy, Win Win and Scream 4.

    I prefer to think of it as prognostication rather than speculation.

    And what became of Elitist Bastards Go Best Two Falls Out of Three on ActionFest?

    And I’m shocked that Jeremy hasn’t been swooping down with lyrics on this. After all —

    The bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar.
    You’re the blessed, we’re the bastards from Mars.
