In this week’s podcast, Xpress film critics Hanke and Souther: Praise Inception, lambast Cyrus and react noncommittally to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice; get gleefully evil about The Invisible Man; consider the impact of the original Imitation of Life; and weigh the prospects of upcoming releases Salt, Ramona and Beezus and I Am Love.
Podcast produced/“cohered” by Steve Shanafelt for MountainX.com. 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.
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.
While I do think that Monkey Trouble is a very underrated simian comedy, I will have my revenge for this obvious travesty of a farce of a sham of two farces. Two can play this game, Justin Souther — at least they can if they have access to Jeremy Dylan’s skills.
Another Hanke-related item I have to avoid until I see INCEPTION. That’s it, I’m off the bloody pictures tonight – the first time I’ve seen a movie on opening night. Then I listen to this, read Ken’s review, the thread on the SS Forums, the article about the best films of the year.
Granted not all mumblecore is great but i wouldn’t lump it all into one category of “20 somethings bitching about their life for an hour and a half”.

I’m sure your life will be ever so much better after you do.

I wouldn’t have expected you to.

You’re right. Some mumblecore films are much longer than 90 minutes.

Much as I dislike web-speak and its various bits of initialism-speak, that’s clearly a “Jeremy FTW” moment. (Now, watch the convey some entirely different — and probably offensive — meaning is Australia.)
FTW? Fort Worth?
FTW? Fort Worth?
For the win.
