A (slight) retraction

In the interest of full disclosure.

Yesterday, my comments were posted on rotwangsarm.blogspot.com. I would like to take a moment, upon reflecting on some of the comments (and the response I recieved back) that we made about this particular individual. We got carried away. Internet anonymity can be a wonderful thing, but it can lead to people being bullies. Rotwang reconsidered his harsh criticizm of the Outside the Cinema review of "Touch of Evil" and I feel (not just because I am the new co-host of OTC with Bill) that I must reconsider my comments on his e-mail to them.

Like I said, we got carried away.

Also, I believe we mention it in the newest show, we have not had the time to sit down and really WATCH "Touch of Evil" so that review is still forthcoming.

Episode Twenty Seven: Critics are likely to make enemies, inspector. You can call it an occupational hazard.

Episode Twenty Seven: Critics are likely to make enemies, inspector. You can call it an occupational hazard.

Hello kids! In this episode, titled: Episode Twenty Seven: Critics are likely to make enemies, inspector. You can call it an occupational hazard, we discuss some of the more recent releases, the Oscar contest results that we ran, and we pick apart a review from Roger Ebert that has little or nothing to do with the actual film that was supposedly reviewed. It just degrades from there into the usual mess that is Are You Serious?

As mentioned in the show, here's is a link to the response from Jimmy Mack from theforce.net. This is also complete with updates.

Here, a day early is Episode Twenty Five: "I thought I was looking at my mother's old douche-bag, but that's in Ohio."

This episode is a bit of a departure for us. We pick up the reigns from Outside the Cinema in a show of solidarity and address a listener that crosses the line. Perhaps they have a "Touch of Evil."

But, before that, we discuss some new releases and some older titles that we have seen. After that, we talk about one of our favorite shows.

Ben joins us again for some in show music and believe it or not, the hiss is gone!

In this episode we feature music from
Heretix (My Favorite Hooker)
Thomas Dolby (She Blinded Me With Science)
Barenaked Ladies (Big Bang Theory Theme)
and as usual, our closing song
Killer Dwarfs (We Stand Alone)

This week, we have a shorter show for you. We had some sound issues that could only be half fixed in post, so you are getting the best of what's left!

This show has no real topic. We discuss Valentines' Day, some recent releases, bad relationships and some other assorted nonsense.
