Elitist Bastards: The knee-trembling best and worst of 2010
In this week’s Elitist Bastards Go To The Movies podcast, Mountain Xpress film critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther hash out their lists of the top ten best and worst films of 2010. The canny duo of cinematic criticism then briefly discuss Shrunken Heads (this week’s Thursday Horror Picture Show) and Unfaithfully Yours (next week’s Asheville Film Society screening). And just to brighten the new year, they very briefly speculate on the quality of this week’s opening films Country Strong and Season of the Witch.
