The Filmdogs Podcast: Episode 34 – The Lord of the Podcasts
The 34th Episode of The Filmdogs Podcast is here and it’s epic to say the least. First up is the News in which we tackle the latest casting announcements for The Hobbit, and casting rumors for the female leads in The Dark Knight Rises. In “Vs.” we continue to earn our geek cred as it’s an epic battle for best film in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Next, we discuss our favorite Up and Coming Directors in our “Featured Topic of the Week” and lastly we have a “One Liner of the Week” from Rian Johnson’s High School Noir, Brick. It’s an episode so powerful you may have to throw it in Mt. Doom.

Crossover | When Actors Wanna Sing
Oh the fickle mind of the artist…
The idea of actors/actresses entering the music industry or musicians entering the film industry is nothing new, but it has always interested me for some reason. I don’t know if its the fact that many of the transitions are rough and don’t really pan out well, proving the artist, who could be very solid in their native career, sub-par to mediocre in their new “career”. Either way, I’m always pleased to see an Actor/Actress who can pull their own weight both musically and as a Thespian.
Don't Hassle the Hoff
Lets take a look at a few music projects, brought to the table by relevant actors/actresses, that you may have never known existed. And no, there will be no David Hasselhoff in this conversation.

Geek Round Up | New Spider-Man is cast…
New Spider-man Andrew Garfield.
geek
Slang.
1. A person with a devotion to something in a way that places him or her outside the mainstream. This could be due to the intensity, depth, or subject of their interest.
2. a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.
3. A carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken.
As we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast the choices for the new Peter Parker in the Marc Webb directed Spider-man reboot have been less than interesting. It seems as if the studio was aiming to excite the least amount of people possible with picks like Jamie Bell, Anton Yelchin, Aaron Johnson, Logan Lerman and others. Well, today it was announced that the American born, yet British raised actor Andrew Garfield is Sony’s choice for the webbed wonder. Read the rest of this entry »
