CALLING ALL CRITICS 


A true film addict loves nothing more than talking about film. But if you're tired of listening to some film critic drone on and on about a movie you're not going to see, or you can't take one more minute of Ebert and Roeper, you need a new way to get your film-talk fix. Cue Scene Unseen, a new podcast on Apple iTunes that guarentees to deliver that fresh perspective you've been looking for. This month-old radio show is the baby of Chris and Jimmy, two industry insiders whose wit keeps the banter smart and the direction unpredictable. If this doesn't already distinguish them from their fellow movie reviewers, the show's twist will. The hook of Scene Unseen lies in its name--one of the reviewers hasn't seen the movie. But that's not a problem. In fact it's the edge.

This past week the boys of Scene Unseen reviewed Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The discussion is both a cheeky and an academic look at the film, Will Farrell's body of work, and a string of other tangents Chris and Jimmy wandered into. Check out their weekly podcast. It's both priceless and free.
