Show #93 - Hugh Grant is a Savage

In honor of this Sunday's Academy Awards it's time for some Top Ten Films of 2013 lists! It's almost March, what better time to discuss the films of the previous year? So Bear Trap shares his Top Ten in this episode of A Little Snack; Monolith abstains. Kind of like how the dude abides. Hope you enjoy this one. We're hopeful all the sound issues have been fixed so you might be able to listen to this one without riding the volume dial. Discussed: Oscar picks for Best Picture, Bear Trap's pick for Worst Movie of 2013, Monolith surprises himself with how many of the top ten he's actually seen.. in a theater!, the Stay-Pufts remember the comedy writer and film director Harold Ramis, the life of paranormal investigator and particle accelerator system (or proton pack) inventor Egon Spengler is also discussed, David Mitchell's novel "Cloud Atlas" is compared with the Twyker/Wachowski adaptation and found to be superior, Bear Trap offers up a programming note for season two of a great show starting this Friday (hint: it's about a doctor who eats people), completely NON-SPOILER-Y discussions of both 'True Detective' and season 2 of 'House of Cards' that are okay to listen to for those who haven't yet but plan to watch, how "Ender's Game" is like 'Breaking Bad', the state of the digital effects industry in southern California, how (and perhaps why) filmmaker interviews like the ones that follow 'True Detective' have become unbearable, the Word of the Week is a smoking gun, the camera operator who died on a film set in South Georgia and how she's being honored by film professionals all over the world, and a Monolith Moment Darwin himself might have appreciated.
