Before we got to the show information we wanted to let you know about "Favor," a movie starring Blayne Weaver, onetime guest/co-host of the show, and written and directed by Paul Osborne, upcoming guest/co-host of the show. It is a very tight thriller based on the saying, "a friend helps you move, a best friend helps you move a body." I saw the premier this year at the Austin Film Festival and dug it quite a bit.
If you want to support good films made by good people check it out. It'll be available on video on demand April 22nd. You can see the trailer on Vimeo. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even pre-order it on iTunes right now.
While you're at it, Check out Blayne's "Six Month Rule," one of my top 10 films of 2011, and Paul's amazing documentary "Official Rejection," which pulls back the curtain on the film festival scene.
On this week's show...
We decided to throw a little variety your way and talk more about music than movies. Granted, we still talk about music movies, but we focus a little more on the music itself.
We discuss our love of everything from rock to hard rick to classic rock, and all genres in between.
Also, you can be a part of the show any time you wild like. How's that? All you have to do is call or e-mail us. If you live in the US, or any place that makes calling the US easy, just dial 512-666-RANT and leave us a voicemail. We will read the Google Voice transcript and play your message. It's both funny AND informative.
If you live outside the US you can call us on Skype at The_Film_Thugs. You can leave a message, or someone might actually answer.
E-mail us at thefilmthugs@gmail.com and we will read/play whatever you send us, of you can e-mail thugquestions@gmail.com to be part of an upcoming "Ask the Film Thugs" show, where we answer questions on any subject without having heard them first.
Also, we are on twitter @thefilmthugs and on Facebook and Vine.
You can also click on one of our sponsor links below and THEY will pay us. That's right. You won't have to pay a PENNY extra, and Amazon/Onnit/Teefury will give us a little taste.
Thanks for listening, and until next week...

The Year That Was 1999

Sunday Mar 23, 2014
1999 was a pretty interesting year to be alive, at least for us it was.
The whole millennium thing aside, this was a time of pretty significant transition. Instead of boring you with the details here, how about you just take a listen and see what the world was like for Jim and Clarkson 15 years ago.
We also discuss food, car accidents, and Jim utters the phrase, "The San Diego Chicken is an asshole."

We make a valliant effort to discuss Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Sunday Mar 09, 2014
The acting world recently lost one of its greats. Philip Seymour Hoffman was an immense talent. There is no other way to put it. He had a range, a depth, and an understanding of what acting means that most actors could never dream of achieving.
He could be funny, heartbreaking, and terrifying all in equal understated measure. His acting was about quality, not quantity. He wasn't flashy, because that wasn't the point. He was more than that. He was real, and he will be missed.
That being said, this is also the first time we've recorded in two weeks and there have been some big doings in that time. Clarkson moved into his house, Jim has an offer pending and is not 90% finished with a masters degree. Let's be honest, we are overstimulated children who get even more overstimulated when the mics are in front of us, so we kind of wander a bit. but you have come to expect that.
