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.
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.

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.
