slashfilmcast550

This week, Dave, Devindra, and Adam discuss Louis CK's bold new distribution strategy, ruminate on the greatness of Miller's Crossing, explain why Jurassic Park III is terrible, and wonder why Ridley Scott is so invested in this whole Blu-Ray thing. Special guest Matt Singer, joins us from IFC.

You can always e-mail us at slashfilmcast(AT)gmail(DOT)com, or call and leave a voicemail at 781-583-1993. Join us next Sunday (12/18) at Slashfilm's live page at 10 PM EST / 7 PM PST, where we'll be reviewing Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, Young Adult, and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

CORRECTION: Miller's Crossing was the Coen Brothers' third film, not the second, as we accidentally state in this episode.
