Five months ago, film reviewers Ken Hanke and Justin Souther decided it was time to take a break from podcasting. The stress of being in the internet limelight was simply to much for them to bear. But now, still suffering from the wicked withdrawal symptoms of not talking informally for about movies on a weekly basis, the boys have dragged themselves back from the brink and resurrected the Elitist Bastards Go to the Movies. Warning: If the title of the show wasn’t enough of a clue, Elitist Bastards is not work safe due to language and buffoonery.

I don’t know how anyone else feels about it, but I deeply miss the old theme song. It just doesn’t feel like the it’s really the Bastards without “1832.”

I don’t see how anyone can complain about those dulcet strains from Scared to Death.

I’m not complaining about them. They just don’t feel bastardly enough for me.

…and if you have ever strained your dulcet, you know how much it can hurt.
