Did the Filmdogs crew think the show was as bad as other critics are saying? Were all the winners justified? Listen in to find out.

The Filmdogs Podcast: Episode 36 – Exit Through the Podcast Shop

Episode 36 of the Filmdogs Podcast is here and just in time for awards season! This week in the News we discuss the recent casting/character announcements for The Dark Knight Rises with Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, and Tom Hardy as Bane. We also try to decipher if Kevin Smith has truly gone off the deep end with his recent controversy at Sundance. In both our In Defense of and One Liner of the Week segments we chat up the underrated?, sequel Back to the Future: Part III. Plus, in our Featured Topic we weed through the recent Oscar Nominations and issue verdicts as to what the Academy got right and what they got terribly wrong. To not listen in could have grave effects on the space time continuum. Heavy.

Michael Cera’s Favorite Films

Here at Filmdogs, we have a bit of a love hate relationship with Michael Cera. Although he has proven to filmgoers that he has talent, the jury still seems to be out on his cinematic range. I, for one, thought he was very good in Arrested Development, Superbad, and Youth and Revolt, while also acknowledging that he was completely underwhelming and unfunny in both Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist and Year One. That said, one thing that Filmdogs definitely agrees on is that Cera brought his “A” game and more to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Well, now we can get a look at some of the films that inspire Michael Cera, and I must say he has good taste. Intervals of Awesome originally posted the list which features some Kurosawa, Scorsese, and Anderson (Wes and P.T.). Continue on to check out the list.

Pixar is indeed in the Sequel Business


A new trailer for “Toy Story 3″ has debuted today on myspace of all places and it looks, well…just ok. Something about this sequel feels more like a “Shrek” film than a pixar classic. Which makes me very afraid for the future of the stellar company. Plans for a sequel to the stuido’s most lackluster effort “Cars” are in the works as well as “Monsters Inc. 2.” All this comes after Disney animation head John Lasseter famously stated a few years ago that “Pixar is not in the Sequel Business.” Oh how I wish that were true.
