As summer cools down, the movies heat up. In this episode we take a look at what’s coming down the pipe this fall. Sure, some of the season’s movies will be blatant Oscar bait, but we still can’t wait to see what Hollywood has in store.

Yesterday marked the beginning of a week of mutant pigs, autistic kung-fu masters, and Japanese nudity. I’m referring of course to Fantastic Fest, Austin’s genre film destination. We talk to festival programmer Zack Carlson about what to look forward to.

Burn After Reading, the latest offering from the Coen Brothers, won the top box office spot last weekend, but did it win our hearts? We shall discuss.
