Boo.Scared?  Don't be.  It's just Phil and Andrew with another podcast!  This week we both scream for the new Pixar film, "Monsters University."  Listen as we discuss the current state of Pixar films and compare this one to it's predecessor, "Monsters, Inc." (which happens to be Andrew's favorite film from the animation juggernaut).  We both notice that "Monsters University" seems to be more about satirizing the college experience than continuing the poignant streak of other Pixar films.  Tune in for more!You can download the podcast here by right-clicking on that link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player located below:One of many throwaway sight gags in this film.For this Criterion Corner, Phil and Andrew dig deep with their review of Danny Boyle's "Shallow Grave", a diabolical thriller in the best sense of the word.  The DVD contains some highly illuminating extra features, on top of a stylish and inventive film about three twenty-somethings who discover a briefcase full of money and how their friendships get torn (painfully) asunder.  It promises to be bury exciting!  Sorry, I just turned into the Cryptkeeper for a second there.  We hope you will listen!It would appear that something is...afoot?And for the second half of this episode we will discuss an excellent film notorious for usurping the Oscar from Martin Scorsese as well as a very recent documentary fresh off of an Academy Award nomination.  Keep listening...
