Well, this was a great one.

Scott Thompson — actor, comedian, podcaster, Guy Who’s Finally Back On Hannibal As Of Thursday — is my guest this week on Someone Else’s Movie, and he picked Howard Hawks’ 1953 musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, with Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell and that magnificent “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” production number. The movie was delightful, and the conversation even more so; Thompson is a natural performer, as you’d expect, but he’s also a very savvy interpreter of cinema, even if he doesn’t think he is.

Also, I taught him what “rapey” means. Hashtag proud.

As usual, you can find it on  iTunes and Stitcher, or via direct download. Caution, language.

Did you spend all weekend being vaguely aware of news coming out of Comic-Con? Talk of Batman versus Superman, and so forth? Well, this week’s Someone Else’s Movie is happy to coast on the general pop-culture buzz with our very first Splintersode.

See, every recording session has some stuff that strays beyond the established concept of the show, and sometimes that includes some wonderful stuff about art and culture that I regret not being able to include. So think of this week’s show as a little salvage operation, rescuing valuable observations and anecdotes from Kiva Reardon and Faith Erin Hicks and preserving them for all time.

As always, you can get it on your iTunes and your Stitcher, or by direct download. And if you like it, please let me know. I’ve got more.

Well, it happened: Someone picked Back to the Future for their episode of Someone Else’s Movie.

Who took the bait? None other than Pretend We’re Kissing writer-director Matt Austin Sadowksi, who marks the release of his movie on a number of VOD platforms by celebrating one of his — and my — favorite films.

iTunes! Stitcher! Direct download! Whoa, this is heavy.

Oh, and to extend the whole alternate-reality thing a little further, Chandler Levack is doing a gender-swapped reading of the Entourage pilot tomorrow night with some very interesting people. She tells me about it over at the NOW site.

It was inevitable that my brother Mike would be a guest on Someone Else’s Movie. He’s a broadcaster! He’s been in a movie! Why wouldn’t I tap him on a holiday weekend?

But so there. Mike Wilner is this week’s guest, and he totally qualifies to be on the show, so shut up. Who better to discuss Ron Shelton’s 1988 romantic comedy Bull Durham? It’s a damn baseball movie!

Anyway, here’s the iTunes link, and the Stitcher link, and the direct download option. Enjoy it!

This week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie may be our funniest to date. It’s certainly the one with the most laughter, since Marilla Wex has what I can best describe as a hair-trigger giggle, and it proves infectious as we talk about Matthew Vaughn’s somewhat self-aware Bond sendup Kingsman: The Secret Service.

Please do check it out, whether by iTunes or Stitcher or direct downloadery. I promise you’ll be laughing too.

It’s a special week for listeners of Someone Else’s Movie, who’ll be enjoying not one but two full-length episodes of the podcast. I mean, why not?

Today, Orphan Black‘s Ari Millen brings Henry Bean’s 2001 psychodrama The Believer into the basement, bringing an actor’s focus (and some interesting personal history) to what might have been a problematic title. Check it out, won’t you?

iTunes. Stitcher. Direct download. Pick your delivery mechanism, they’re all solid.
