Adam and Matty-

I was just wondering what you guys thought about Casey Affleck's performance in Gone Baby Gone?  You guys didn't really touch on it too much in the podcast.  At first I thought he wasn't going to be able to carry movie, but after the initial scene with him in the bar, my opinion was changed, and I thought he did an excellent job.

I've always liked Casey. He's such an unusual 'leading man' that I like him for that reason alone. He didn't blow me away here, but he's solid.

You heard 'em, people. Angela and I have been elevated to "gorgeous," which is obviously better than "fantastic" or "overwhelmingly awesome."

Where do "fantastic" and "overwhelmingly awesome" get you? Nowhere. But "gorgeous?" That gets you entrance to exclusive clubs and black tie dinners.

Thank you for recognizing, Matty.

Oh. And the show was good too.

Also, I expect a "thin and-" before that "gorgeous" next time. And I expect it to be said as Jennifer Saunders from Absolutely Fabulous.

Looks like you have the Massacre Theater winner wrong on the site. Melanie Bruce was the winner named in the show, but the site says Steven Youngkin, who I believe was last week's winner.

Great show this week, especially the outtake.

In reference to this week's listener feedback: David Bowie fans are hereby encouraged to hunt down his top-notch performance in Nagisa Oshima's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, also featuring actor-turned-director Takeshi Kitano.

I was just curious, what made you guys decide to start going with half stars in the website reviews? I think it's a good idea, gives you more range to rate, but I was wondering what made you change.

In order to get Matty on board, it was a deal breaker.
