Are You Screening? Podcast

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Django Unchained and Promised Land. It's getting down to the wire on the year, and this week we're looking at two strong films that are getting a lot of buzz. Maybe not front-runners for Best Picture, but bound to be on a lot of top ten lists.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review This is 40 and Les Miserables. Two very different efforts, one that is getting lots of award attention, and Judd Apatow's latest comedic venture.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. It's the one everybody has been waiting for, and it's sure to pull everyone to theaters... but, is it any good? We'll have some interview clips for you with cast and crew as well.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Hyde Park on Hudson. It's a sleepy week just before the giant push toward the end of the year spectacular, and Bill Murray gets our attention this week. We'll also be covering Deadfall, and we'll be giving our picks for the worst of the year. It's bound to be a good time.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Killing Them Softly. We're looking forward to this one and the fact that no one seems to be talking about it isn't changing our minds. As we close in on end of year, we'll most likely be covering a few titles that we didn't cover throughout the year, and we'll be talking upcoming award vo...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Rise of the Guardians. The only question here is, is this one as good as it looks. Set to take over the holiday market of family fare, and with little competition, this is going to be a huge release. We'll also have a report on Anna Karenina, and possibly other surprises.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Lincoln. Coming in so far at a whopping 95% fresh by Top Critics at Rottentomatoes.com, we're excited to see if we think this one lives up to the hype. We'll be sharing some interview clips with the cast and crew, and this is sure to be a fun show. 

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Skyfall. This week, special guest Frank DeCaro will be joining us to talk about Skyfall, and his book, The Dead Celebrity Cookbook. Movie critic for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart for almost seven years, host of his own radio show on Sirius/XM, and star of GSN's I've Got a Secret, Frank...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Wreck-It Ralph. Can an animated, late-year feature about video games sway us? It's been doing pretty good with critics so far. Really, the question is whether or not the kids will love it, and we think we can probably answer that question as well.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Cloud Atlas. We have to tell you right from the start that we may well go over an hour here, so you'll want to also check out the podcast version of the show. I have to imagine that there will be a lot to talk about, and we're looking forward to dissecting this one.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Taken 2. A black hole week finds us finally making our way to Taken 2, which has led the box office two weeks in a row. We'll not only look at the film itself, but we'll be waxing poetic on how it took such a lead against the competition, and we have some interview clips with Liam Neeson...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Seven Psychopaths.  This star-studded feature looks like a winner, and we have high hopes. On the other hand, this may turn out to be a kind of vanity/vacation project that falls completely flat. Join us and let us know what you think.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Argo. This one has been getting a lot of hype, and we're curious to see if it deserves it. We're both fans of Affleck in the Director's chair, so it should at least deliver a good time.  

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Frankenweenie.  Another shot for Tim Burton this year, and we have high hopes for this one. Of course, we had high hopes for the last one. Tune in to give us your thoughts on this one. It's going to be fun.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Looper. We're finally really excited for a movie, and it doesn't look like this one is going to let us down. We'll also be playing some interview clips with Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Director Rian Johnson.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Dredd 3D. We're looking forward to this one in a way that is somewhat surprising, although Marc doesn't have the greatest hopes.  We'll also have another report for areyouscreening.com writer, Christopher Lominac, as he gives us more to digest about the films he caught at TIFF.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Resident Evil: Retribution.  We aren't sure what to expect here to be honest, but we're hoping for a little guilty pleasure fun. This far into a series of films, anything could probably happen, and it's either going to be some popcorn entertainment that's worth a night out, or one of the...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review The Possession. We were talked into this one, and now that it has taken over the box office (and we have an excuse to duck The Words), we're going to see if end of summer horror has anything we sink our teeth into. It's time to gear up for a slew of Fall hopefuls, and it turns out that we...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Lawless.  Will we get a good exit to the summer? This one has a lot of people talking, especially with Tom Hardy in theaters so soon after The Dark Knight Rises. I'm not sure of our expectations going into this one, but it looks like fun. We hope to be taking your questions, and we'll be...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review ParaNorman.  Could this be the break out smash of the summer? It's starting to look like it will be. We're looking forward to it, and we'll be adding our unique spin to the critical voice that is largely falling in love with this one.  We'll also be playing a couple of clips of interviews...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, take on The Bourne Legacy.  After last week's Total Recall, which actually left us with a bit of a gap between our final ratings, we're looking forward to seeing what the Bourne franchise can do. We have high hopes that this one can add some overall stars to the summer.

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, take on Total Recall. We're both looking forward to this one, and coming off of our show analyzing the summer, we're hoping this one is going to help us get a bit more summer as fall approaches. We'll have a couple of interview clips featuring director Len Wiseman and star Colin Farrell to share...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, take on the summer itself.  We're taking a break from reviewing for a week, and we're going to revisit a few of our last films, look ahead to what's coming up, and discuss the summer in general. It's been a very strange summer movie season (for us, anyway), with a lot of disappointments. What's...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, take on The Dark Knight Rises. Probably isn't much to say here, being that it's the most anticipated movie of the summer, and everyone's opinion is likely solidified. We're expanding the show for this one, and we're going to try to also talk about our impressions on this strange summer film seas...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, take on Savages. We're backed up a week here, because we had to get to The Amazing Spider-Man, and the Ice Age franchise is the only other thing after our attention, but we're pretty excited to see what Oliver Stone is going to do with the drug trade. We'll have a couple of clips of Oliver Stone...
