In this week’s podcast, Xpress film critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther: Dismiss Ramona and Beezus and noncommittally shrug off Salt; experience gross-out glee at The Fly; don’t reveal the secret of The Crying Game; and guess about the quality of soon-to-be-released flicks Dinner for Schmucks, The Kids Are Alright, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and Charlie St. Cloud.

Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Seriously Jeremy, these pictures are getting creepier every week. Keep up the good work, sir.
I really must get a hat like that.

It suits you. Perhaps Justin should get himself a collar and chain?

Thank you very much, sir. It’s a real challenge to try and up the discomfort every week while still maintaining the simian factor.
Perhaps Justin should get himself a collar and chain?
Nah, he’d try to climb on my shoulder.
For the record, Clint Eastwood won that year for [i]Unforgiven[/i].
So, you were right!
Every time I see this picture, I have to pause and wonder why Ken has a vulture on his shoulder.
So, you were right!
There was an excellent chance I would be, since the only Best Picture winners I can recall agreeing with are Annie Hall and Slumdog Millionaure.
Ken, you look like an escapee from The Prisoner, 60’s version.

Theoretically, it’s a Capuchin monkey, though I admit Justin’s head kind of overwhelms the simian.
Ken, you look like an escapee from The Prisoner, 60’s version.
As long as it’s the 60s version, I’m good with that.
