This week, Hanke and Souther: share their views on The Karate Kid, The A-Team, The Secret in Their Eyes, Please Give and Survival of the Dead; explain why The Sentinel isn’t as gory as you may have heard; make the case for the classic Howard Hawks comedy The Twentieth Century; and express a deflated optimism about soon-to-open flicks Toy Story 3 and Jonah Hex. The Elitist Bastards podcast is also available on the iTunes store as a free download.
Podcast produced/“cohered” by Steve Shanafelt for MountainX.com. This week’s opening theme is “1832” by E. Lee. Original art by Jeremy Dylan.

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.

You could take up the new thing for readers who aren’t local and watch it at the same time we’re screening it as a kind of solidarity thing. I leave it to you to work out the time difference.
