Episode 15 – Film critic Erik Lundegaard

“Seen any good movies lately?” These days, it’s becoming more and more difficult to answer that question in the affirmative. So, we decided to bring in film critic Erik Lundegaard to help us out. Erik has written film reviews for the Seattle Times, MSNBC.com, as well as articles for the Huffington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Christian Science Monitor, Slate, Film Quarterly and The Believer. We’ll talk to Erik about recent movies such as Ides of March and Tree of Life (with Spoiler Alerts!), what’s up with the Academy Awards (Spoiler Alert – The Hurt Locker won Best Picture in 2009!) and whether or not film criticism is itself an art of form. We encourage you to check out Erik’s film reviews on his site eriklundegaard.com . PS – remember those technical difficulties that used to make our show so charming? Theeeeeey’re baaaaaack…
