It’s Episode 36 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog.
This week is pretty stacked! Pete returns from Berlin with rapturous praise, but will that include some for his precious Wong kar-Wai? A review of “The Grandmaster” leads a Berlin round-up, followed by the multiplex fare of “I Give It A Year” and “Warm Bodies.” We’re taking time out to focus on animation, giving our feedback on the Oscar-nominated animated short films, before launching into a review of the Annies’ favourite “Wreck-It Ralph.” And then things get passionate with podcast favourite Alfred Hitchcock profiled in Sacha Gervasi’s biopic pastiche comedy (?!) about the master of suspense, which not everyone is over the moon about.
