J.E., February 17, 2006
Reviewer: J.E.
from Chicago, Illinois
The Cinecast podcast is a movie review show hosted by by Adam Kempenaar and Sam Hallgren. One of the guys used to write reviews for a newspaper, and his experience really shows. Both of these hosts are very articulate and extremely knowledgeable about movies. They give detailed reviews of current movies, as well as Top 5 lists in various categories.
I love movies, so it was fun for me to listen to Adam and Sam give their opinions about all these flicks. The best thing about this podcast is that the hosts talk about the movies in a down to earth way; they are not snobbish at all and aren't out simply to show that they know more cinematic terms than you do. I give this show 5 stars, and I will definitely subscribe to it!

feedback@filmspotting.net (Filmspotting)Author: Filmspotting
Fri, Oct 10, 2008
Oct. 10: This week, Adam adopts a terrible Southern accent and Matty adds 80 pounds and a bad wig to review Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio in Ridley Scott's Skin-e-maxly-titled spy thriller, "Body of Lies." Plus, the boys deconstruct the latest from the director of "City of God" and "The Constant Gardener," Fernando Meirelles' "Blindness," starring Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo. Then the lads spend the rest of the episode looking for the purple banana waiting to be put into the truck* while bringing you their Top 5 Movie Soundtracks. Let's go crazy!
Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre, Matty's Movie Minute and music by Conor Oberst.
* Actual lyrics from "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince.
** Filmspotting is presented by spout.com. This week, we're wondering just how much Watchmen footage will be released before the movie. Keep an eye on all the coverage at blog.spout.com. **

Fri, Oct 03, 2008
Oct. 3: It's close-out week here on Filmspotting and everything must go! We're giving you three reviews, count 'em three new reviews, all on 2008 films at dealer prices. The lads will give you a polemic free discussion of "Religulous," Bill "Love Him or Hate Him" Maher's new documentary filled with some tough questions on religion's place in today's society. But that's not all! Also this week, Michael Cera and Kat Dennings try to warm Adam's cold, cold heart in "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," and Matty's heart practically breaks while watching "Trouble the Water, a documentary from Tia Lessin and Carl Deal chronicling a family's experience during Hurricane Katrina.

feedback@filmspotting.net (Filmspotting)Author: Filmspotting
Fri, Oct 03, 2008
Sept. 26: This week's Filmspotting Joint is brimming with reviews of two new disparate war films. First up, Sgt. Kempenaar and PFC Ballgame dissect Spike Lee's latest skirmish in the war movie genre with "Miracle at St. Anna."
They then join Tim Robbins, Michael Pena and Rachel MacAdams for some R&R on their leave from the Iraq war in "The Lucky Ones." Plus, Adam sits down for a debriefing with "Lucky Ones" director Neil Burger... and the mission concludes with Filmspotting's Top 5 Spike Lee Scenes. Semper fi, son, semper fi.

FS #227: After Hours (Brief Encounter)
feedback@filmspotting.net (Filmspotting)Author: Filmspotting
Tue, Sep 23, 2008
Sept. 23: Finally, after a hectic two months of festivals, weddings, and broken promises, the boys found time to sit down and record a long-awaited After Hours podcast. In addition to wading through your feedback on "good" films suitable for teenage audiences, After Hours also brings you the Neill Cameron Listeners Choice review of "Brief Encounter," the classic unrequited love story from director David Lean and screenwriter Noel Coward. Plus, as an added bonus, After Hours brings you a bootleg recording of a Q&A session with Adam and Matty recorded at the recent Chicago Filmspotting Meetup (rumor is the boys finish their set with a 27-minute cover of Baba O'Reilly). Good times.
Thanks again to all of our donors for your tremendous support. Winners on this show were chosen from episodes #221-#226.
NOTES
- Roger Ebert's list of great 'teen movies' can be found here.
- Thanks to Joe DeCeault for engineering the Chicago Filmspotting Meetup audio... He's also, of course, the Joe mentioned during the response to the question about the show's transition to Chicago Public Radio.
- Great 'Massacre Theatre' version of "Brief Encounter" from "The History Boys."

Sun, Sep 21, 2008
Sept. 19: "Say hello to our little friends ..." This week, Adam and Matty perform the entire show using their best Bobby De Niro and Al Pacino impressions in honor of the legendary duo's new crime drama, "Righteous Kill." The guys might even find time to work in some of their best Samuel L. Jackson when they cover his performance in "Lakeview Terrace," the newest social commentary/thriller from director Neil Labute. Plus, in honor of Bobby and Al, Filmspotting presents the Top 5 Actor Pairings We'd Like To See. "Yeah, we're talking to you ... hoo-HAH!"

FS #226: Burn After Reading / Toronto Recap / Egoyan Interview / Fall Movie Preview
feedback@filmspotting.net (Filmspotting)Author: Filmspotting
Fri, Sep 12, 2008
Sept. 12: George Clooney joins Brad Pitt for some Dumb and Dumber antics in the latest Coen Bros. comedy "Burn After Reading." Will the Brothers Coen follow up their critically-acclaimed "No Country for Old Men" with another sensational effort? Or will "Burn After Reading" leave Adam and Matty nostalgic for the likes of "The Ladykillers" and "Intolerable Cruelty" ... yikes. Plus, Matty was so excited when he heard Adam had brought him a gift from his recent trip to the Toronto International Film Festival; Matty was holding out hope for a lock of Bryan Adams' hair but would have been satisfied with a six pack of Molson. Fortunately for Filmspotting fans (but unfortunately for Matty), Adam came back bearing his Top 5 Toronto Films and an interview with legendary Canadian director Atom Egoyan ("The Sweet Hereafter") discussing his new film "Adoration." Plus, your hosts find time to preview the Fall slate with their Top 5 Most Anticipated Fall Movies.
Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre and music by Ari Hest.

FS Revisited: R. Johnson / Linklater / Winterbottom / Top 5 Coen Bros. Scenes
feedback@filmspotting.net (Filmspotting)Author: Filmspotting
Sat, Sep 13, 2008
Sept. 5: "Clip show, clip show, CLIP SHOW!" Exhausted and relieved, Adam and Matty are performing an ad hoc Conga line around the Filmspotting studios. With Adam heading North to cover the Toronto International Film Festival and Matty fulfilling his community service... or, um, otherwise engaged... this week Filmspotting digs into the vaults to bring you some of the shows "best of" conversations with directors Rian Johnson ("Brick"), Richard Linklater (above, "Fast Food Nation") and Michael Winterbottom ("A Mighty Heart").
Plus, in honor of the 10th Anniversary of "The Big Lebowski," the guys really tie the room together with a replay of their Top 5 Coen Bros. Scenes. Filmspotting will be back in full voice next week with a review of the new Coen Bros. movie "Burn After Reading" and Adam's Toronto recap.

Mon, Sep 01, 2008
August 29: Matty couldn't complete his big post-production task -- writing the clever show description that goes here -- before jetting off to scenic Wyoming, a mythic land without computers or the Internet. And since he's the creative one... This week, please enjoy our review of Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," starring Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall and Javier Bardem. Plus, we hand out "The Stephies," our Classic Heist Marathon Awards, and look forward to next week's Toronto International Film Festival with a countdown of our Top 5 Canadian Films.

Sun, Aug 24, 2008
August 22: "Bueller? Bueller?" Class is in session this week as Matty and Adam offer up a dialectic deconstruction of "Hamlet 2," director Andrew Fleming's 2008 Sundance sensation spoofing our collectively beloved "inspirational teacher" genre.
As an added bonus, Adam sits down for a conversation with "Hamlet 2" star Steve Coogan to ask him exactly how sexy Jesus really is and why he feels the need to rock us. Plus, the boys also find themselves inspired enough to list their Top 5 Screen Teachers. How high will Tom Berenger's turn as Jon Shale in "The Substitute" rank? Attendance is mandatory to find out...
Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre, and new music by Conor Oberst.

Sun, Aug 17, 2008
August 15: Max Fischer: "Were you in the sh*t?" / Herman Blume: "Yeah, I was in the sh*t." As you can probably imagine, Adam and Matty have never been anywhere near the sh*t, which puts them in good company with the protagonists of Ben Stiller's latest Hollywood-war-movie parody "Tropic Thunder." Your hosts attempt to "take that hill" and wring out some much needed summer laughs alongside Jack Black, Jay Baruchel, and Kirk Lazarus. Plus, tying in with "Thunder's" movie-within-a-movie-within-a-movie conceit, Filmspotting counts down its Top 5 Movies About Movies (Redux).
Plus, the final movie in the Filmspotting Classic Heist Marathon, "The Getaway," and the lads find time to work in a review of the new documentary "Man on Wire," chronicling Philipe Petit's 1974 "artistic crime of the century" when he walked a tightrope strung between the World Trade Center towers.
Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre, Matty's Movie Minute and music by Akron/Family.

NOTES/CORRECTIONS
- For those of you who have seen "Man on Wire," no, the connection to heist movies wasn't lost on us... we just didn't get to squeeze it in. Hopefully it will come up on a later show.
- Orson Welles's character in "Transformers" was actually Unicron. Well, duh.
- We held off on the Cassavetes Marathon because unless you own the Criterion Five Films collection, the movies are almost all impossible to find on DVD.
- Yes, Matty deliberately refers to Divine as "she" and not "he" out of respect for his/her lifestyle choice. Or something like that.
- Yes, it sounds like Matty says Mike 'Judd' during Massacre Theatre... He's well aware that it's actually Mike Judge.

FS #222: Pineapple Express / Le Cercle Rouge / Top 5 'On The Run' Movies
feedback@filmspotting.net (Filmspotting)Author: Filmspotting
Sat, Aug 09, 2008
August 8: Here's the thing about the film industry, man, are you listening, because, here's the thing, I'm just saying there's not enough movies, there's not enough movies, man, like "Pineapple Express." You know why? Do you know why? Because they're afraid. The industry is scared. The government, man. I'm telling you. Of the truth. Which is why I am so glad this week Adam and Matty are reviewing the latest smoke-filled venture from Team Apatow and director David Gordon Green, starring James Franco and Seth Rogen.
Plus, Adam and Matty (who always bring the truth) will hit the road in their rented Renaults to give you their Top 5 'On The Run' Movies and pause long enough for a hot-box review of the penultimate entry in Le Filmspotting's Classic Heist Marathon, "Le Cercle Rouge," directed by Jean-Pierre Melville and starring the incomparable Alain Delon.
Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre and music by Richard Buckner.

- Filmspotting-led discussion of "Forever Never Anywhere" on Aug. 20. Details here!
- Matt Singer's comments on "The Dark Knight," his #2 film of the year: "Enjoyed your second discussion with Phillips about this movie; I think what makes me appreciate it even more than I did when I saw it (in IMAX, which at times is downright stunning) is how much fun it is to debate and to hear others debate it. To me, it doesn't matter whether Batman is George W. Bush or not -- the fact that we can have that debate tells you exactly the amount of skill and thought that went into crafting the film. Come to think of it, making movies that keep you talking about them long after you've seen them (MEMENTO, THE PRESTIGE) may be one of Nolan's greatest skills."
- I knew we'd get through our review of "Le Circle Rouge" and forget to mention at least one of the other great performances. Sorry, Yves Montand.

FS #221: American Teen / The Italian Job / Top 5 Swan Songs
feedback@filmspotting.net (Filmspotting)Author: Filmspotting
Fri, Aug 01, 2008
August 1: Glory days... while Adam and Matty may share common Midwestern roots, turns out they enjoyed quite disparate high school experiences. One of your hosts was (and still is) a dashingly handsome former class President, coasting through life; for the other, high school left him a neurotic and brooding mound of bitterness. Perhaps not surprisingly then, your in-house Zac and Screech offer (violently) differing takes on Nanette Burstein's new documentary focusing on five small-town Indiana seniors, "American Teen."
Plus, the Filmspotting Classic Heist marathon rolls on in style with Michael Caine, Noel Coward and Benny Hill singing "Rule Britannia" behind the wheels of their 1968 Mini-Coopers in "The Italian Job." Finally, in honor of Heath Ledger's latest turn as the Joker in "The Dark Knight," the lads list their Top 5 Swan Songs.
Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre and music by Sea Ray.

NOTES/CORRECTIONS
- The non-dashingly handsome host would like to note that his high school experience was actually pretty pleasant; he came out of the womb neurotic and brooding.
- For all the families listening, note that two of the Top 5 movie clips contain a bit of swearing -- around the 55 and 60 minute marks.
- I figured out what Matty was referring to when discussing the 'superimposed' text messages in "American Teen." Yes, there is at least one instance where Burstein basically captions for us what is appearing on somebody's cell phone. Matty's implication seemed to be that Burstein was making the content of the message up or being dishonest in some way, and I didn't see it that way.
- Don't ask me what Harvey Dent's "transmission" is.
- Apologies to Isaac McKeithen from Auburn, AL who gave us the scene from "The Prestige" we announced the winner of on episode #220. We had two chances to give him his due credit and failed. Sorry!
- More apologies... to listener and former message board mod Alex Knesnik. He bought me "Giant" as a birthday present last year so I didn't need to Tivo it and I definitely should have watched it by now!
- My research on Richard Farnsworth was terrible. He DID get nominated for "The Straight Story" and for "Comes a Horseman" but did NOT win Best Supporting Actor for the latter.
- Also expanding to more screens this weekend... the movie we reviewed in the first segment, "American Teen"!
