FilmCouch #86: Happy-Go-Lucky and Adam Resurrected, Telluride 2008
We chat with some of the best filmmakers in Telluride (and the world): Mike Leigh and Paul Schrader!
FilmCouch #85: Death Race, Crispin Glover’s What is It?
Some movies are violent, some are disturbing, and others are just plain wrong. Paul W. S. Anderson’s Death Race is a fun ride with some gnarly crashes, but it can’t hold a candle to its demented predecessor, Roger Corman’s Death…
FilmCouch #84: Primary, The Rape of Europa, Nastia Liukin
The epic battle between McCain and Obama will shape America’s future. To prepare, we look at an eerily similar battle from America’s past, the 1960 primaries between JFK and Hubert Humphry, as portrayed in Robert Drew’s verité…
FilmCouch #83: Tropic Thunder protest, The Clone Wars
Tropic Thunder and its fiasco retardo. The Clone Wars assaults weary Star Wars fans, but Karina's watch list saves the day.
FilmCouch #82: Pineapple Express and Foot Fist Way
Pot and taekwondo, the pursuits of a Southern gentlemen named Danny McBride.
FilmCouch 81 - Comic-Con 2008 and Mardi Gras: Made in China

FilmCouch 80 - Wholphin 6 and Dark Knight Indigestion
WHOLPHIN 6 is a must see DVD and listeners unpack THE DARK KNIGHT (now that they've seen it).

What are our friends watching? We check in with /Filmcast's David Chen and Devindra Hardawar and our own Karina Longworth.
FilmCouch #77 - WALL-E the Snake, YouTube gets sophisticated
WALL-E = Mad Max for kids and find the next Herzog on YouTube
FilmCouch #76 - The Comedies of Our Lives
If you had to choose one comedy that depicts what you wish adulthood could be, would you pick DUMB & DUMBER or GROSSE POINTE BLANK?
FilmCouch #75 - The Happening: Finding Humor in Horror
Shyamalan's THE HAPPENING succeeds as unintentional comedy, unlike similar films by his heroes, Spielberg's DUEL and Hitchcock's THE BIRDS, which are actually good.
FilmCouch #74 - Kung Fu: Self-Mastery or Self-Discovery?
Kung Fu Panda gets us wondering about discipline, maturity, and the very essence of kung fu itself!
FilmCouch #73 - Be careful what you laugh at
Roman Polanski had sex with a 13 year old girl, but got screwed by a judge. THE PROMOTION--opening tonight--is too scary to be goofball comedy.
FilmCouch #72 - Karina on Cannes, Kevin on steroids
Cheating is fair, steroids are good for you, France loves Mike Tyson and the best films at Cannes weren't in Cannes
