Welcome to the latest episode of our official podcast, The Film Stage Show. This week staff writer Danny King, associate editor Nick Newman, and I talk about when filmmakers take long breaks in between films and what the reasons may be. Then, we dive into Andrew Dominik‘s crime drama Killing Them Softly. To end we wrap up the films coming to theaters and DVD in the coming week, which include The Dark Knight Rises, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Brazil and more. Then we give you our random recommendations of things we watched on our own this week.
