0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to the Slash Filmcast. I'm David Chen and with me are, |
0:24.1 | Evendor Hardware, Jeff Kanada, and joining us today, she's a staff writer and film critic at Slashfilm.com. |
0:32.1 | Why, Chen, we welcome back to the Slash Filmcast. |
0:36.1 | Thanks for having me back guys and may I say for Slash Film Daily listeners. Hey everyone! |
0:42.1 | So, H.C.'s referring to the fact that she is also a frequent co-host on the Slash Film Daily podcast. |
0:51.1 | And everyone on that podcast has a kind of greeting that they do. And hers is, hey everyone, and it's kind of like, it's very comforting when you hear like a standard greeting repeated over and over again like hundreds of times. |
1:05.1 | Thanks, I remember early reviews for our podcast said that those were really boring and they should, we should come up with more interesting greetings rather than just saying hi. But people like them. |
1:15.1 | Really judging everything now in a podcast including the greetings. |
1:19.1 | My favorite thing I have to admit is I think early on Chris Evangelista had like a very, let's say non-super energetic greeting right? He'd be like, hi. |
1:35.1 | I would say guttural. |
1:37.1 | Yeah, guttural. |
1:39.1 | And people complained so much about it that like now he's like in the opposite direction now. |
1:45.1 | He's like in the opposite direction. He's like super cheery in a way that sounds like it doesn't necessarily capture the personality but I enjoy it every single time I hear it. |
1:55.1 | So, but in any case, if you want a daily podcast with film news that features HT, you can go to slash on daily, which I think is found at daily.slashhome.com, right? |
2:08.1 | And they have a new episode every weekday. And some of the episodes recently I haven't really good. Peter Seretta has talked about how like the show took a little bit of time to find its footing. |
2:20.1 | I agree with them that I think that the recent episodes have been really strong. So definitely check it out at daily.slashhome.com. |
2:28.1 | Anyway, today we are here on the slash homecast to talk about a few things. We got some what we've been watching for you today. |
2:34.1 | And then we got an in-depth review of Joe Cornish's new movie, The Kid Who Would Be King. |
2:40.1 | We're going to follow that up with an after dark discussion of Stephen Knight's newest film Serenity, Starrg Matthew McCahn, and Halfaway. |
2:48.1 | That should be a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to talking about that one. Looking forward to this whole episode actually. |
2:53.1 | You can find more episodes of this podcast at slash from cast.com. Email us at slash from cast at gmail.com. |
3:00.1 | So let's get into the show. What we've been watching this week. I will start. I will start with a couple things. |
