INTRODUCTION
Shalom, Wisconsin!
We finally managed to get Eric Kohn on the podcast after food poisoning (mine) and poor planning kept him off. And what great timing as he's curated the third annual Heeb Film Festival this weekend at 92nd St. Y's new location in Tribeca. Best of all, it starts Saturday with a screening of Silver Jew, directed by Michael Tully, who'll attend a Q&A afterwards. But before all that, he's here!
Shocking, I know!
Eric discusses the films playing at Heeb and Michael talks a bit about Silver Jew (which is on DVD, too). We also chat about Revolutionary Road expectations, Gran Torino, and I use my demonic powers to predict the death of a certain director after my success with Paul Newman.
Till then, this is Episode 9, "The Heeb Film Festival Podcast, or Get Off My Ass, Death!" If you're in the NYC area this weekend, go to the Heeb Film Fest! Purchase your tickets here. And if you happen to see Vadim or myself at the bar, buy us a drink!
(Also, Onion, you totally have yet to hire me for Decider. How lame will it be when the guy you picked over me is referencing these podcasts? Super lame. And go to the Heeb Film Fest! And we love Kino International! Forever ever!) (JL)
Podcast is embedded below. Any problems, it can also be found here as a downloadable mp3 file. (TRT: 37 minutes 51 seconds)

IN THE NAME OF ALL THE PAGAN GODS!!! ANOTHER PODCAST SO SOON??!!
THE FUTURIST! is about to listen!
LIFE MUST CEASE UNTIL CZAR RIZOV, GRAPES OF WRATH LICHMAN and MY MAN UHLICH ARE ENTIRELY PAID ATTENTION TO!
I feel weird about this too. I should point out that for once in our lives, we've had a run of out-of-town guests who needed to be got on as quickly as possible and things we were directly tying in to. We will now go back to normal speed, I swear.
Czar Rizov, THE FUTURIST!'s comment was not a criticism or cry of horror ... it was pure elation. However, THE FUTURIST! did notice that you were quite silent during this airing. And grumbled a bit. If normal speed will bring you back to your usual acidic Addison Dewitt-self, then please do ease the foot on the podcast pedal. But, its great to have, at least, a weekly entry.
Eh sorry. I was totally off-balance this time around. It happens occasionally.
If there is any truth to the rumor of a purchase of possible Grassroots Podcast T-Shirts silk screened by John "Hourly Wage" Lichman, then THE FUTURIST! WANTS ONE!!!! Will it be 100% cotton and made in Malaysia? And can it be autographed by Rizov, Lichman and Uhlich?
