Cinecast|FS #261: Away We Go / Drag Me To Hell / Mean Streets / Top 5 Performances by TV Stars Episode
June 12: As everyone knows, Adam and Matty got their start in television on the early '80s sitcom "Mixed Reviews" about two odd couple film critics forced to live in the same apartment. Though the show was short-lived, people still talk about the famous two-part episode "Private Parts, Corporal Danger" in which Adam saves an unsuspecting Matty from the advances of the lascivious nextdoor neighbor (Gordon Jump in an Emmy-winning turn). So the lads were thrilled to discuss this week's "Away We Go," starring fellow television alumni Maya Rudolph and John Krasinksi, and even more excited to list their Top 5 Film Performances by TV Stars. The boys also made time to sneak in the eighth film in their New Hollywood Marathon, "Mean Streets." Listen closely and you can actually hear the slobber on the microphone as Martin Scorsese's first real feature reduces Adam to a blubbering mess: "Remember the scene where Marty follows Harvey Keitel into the bar in slow-mo? That was awesome."Plus, the debut (and finale?) of Adam's Articulate Analysis examines Sam Raimi's "Drag Me To Hell," and the return of Matty's Movie Minute.Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre -- presented by In Review Online -- and music by The Airborne Toxic Event.Filmspotting #261:25-14:03 - Review: "Away We Go"14:04-18:00 - AAA: "Drag Me To Hell"Music: Airborne Toxic Event, "Wishing Well"19:08-24:25 - Voicemail, Polls24:26-36:15 - Feedback: Up, Girlfriend Experience, Brothers BloomMusic: Airborne Toxic Event, "Something Around Midnight"37:27-41:46 - Mass.
