This week’s /Filmcast starts off unusually but very much in the spirit of the show, with each of the member giving their final impressions of Kick-Ass. Apparently, their review at the end of the “proper” episode got into spoilers very quickly and without much warning, so Dave felt the need to serve the wary with a completely immaculate mini-review.
After that, it’s back to normal with “What We’ve Been Watching”, kicking things off with Dave’s experience watching Tommy Wiseau’s The Room with a live audience. Devindra got a chance to check out Treme, the latest film from David Simon. Considering the fact that the /filmcast has always held The Wire (Simon’s previous, award-winning work) in the highest regard, this show got a fair amount of praise and is sure to get more talk in the future.
News that Joss Whedon is going to get a chance to rewrite the script for both The Avengers and Captain America brings a little bit of optimism to the crew, considering the fact that his directing style could barely seep into The Avengers without good writing at his back. His pass on the Captain American script is also positive, because even though he won’t be directing the film, the guys are confident that his writing will help bridge the gap between these sequential films.
Jeff Goldsmith joins the podcast to talk about the subject of this week’s review, Kick-Ass. As previously mentioned, the review quickly shifts to spoiler-laden commentary, so stay away if you’ve yet to see the film.
