A Place For Film: In The News

[display_podcast]

Episode 38: In the News

On this week's episode of A Place for Film, we invite Matthew Kerchner from the IU Cinema to sit down and chat with us about recent news stories. Jason continues his quest to watch 300 movies, and Andy takes a look at some movies completely unknown to him.

Andy and Jason both saw Super 8, and once again had differing opinions on the movie. Find out who thinks what in this week's episode.

We talked about a few news topics this week, including the Academy's new Best Picture rules, the major studio's rethinking Comic-Con, and the upcoming movies that we're most looking forward to.

We also recently added a Facebook page for the podcast.  Like us to get show updates and interact with us before during and after the show

We give some Recommendations, too. For the uninitiated, this is when we list a category and everyone tries to recommend a movie in that category. This week our categories are: a crime movie, a coming-of-age story, and a sci-fi movie that isn't part of a franchise. Feel free to comment on this post with your own categories, or send us a message on Twitter, or Facebook.
