    This is my favorite /Filmcast episode so far.
    Getting to hear the spoilers for the Shield was
    good and hearing how you two went back and
    forth on possibilities for different characters
    was pretty interesting too.
  • hifo
    The 80s Song which is mentioned in the episode of "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" is called "Oh yeah" from YELLO...
  • Weekends are always a bit slow, don't think a weekend editor would solve that.
  • great shows
    Enjoy creating new styles and upload it to www.uploaded.tv
  • I'm expecting you guys to hate Australia.
  • My biggest complaint about book to film adaptations: It's difficult to find copies of the book that aren't covered with the main actor's face. I hate movie editions of books with a passion.
  • All the news sources sort of shut down this weekend because it's a holiday weekend after all :)
  • All the news sources sort of shut down this weekend because it's sort of a holiday :)
  • Myles
    most of the other film websites I go to are just as slow.
  • I disagree the more they wouldnt shut up about a show... the more i thought i'd give it ago...
  • Sweet, Cause you know its always good to come home to a suprise.... Plus since i found this Film/TV podcast i know struggle to find any other that are worth playing... Altho recently started Film spotting... and I wish if you could get Myles to start his own based on purely TV that would also be worth a listen..
  • I think that, in the first 3 seasons Sunny was trapped in the same formula of:
    1) group comes up with a bright idea (insert taboo)
    2) group splits apart
    3) they fight
    4) Everyone fails
    5) back to normal

    And it still kind of is, but I think its improved greatly from last season which was unwatchable for me.
  • Sauce
    *cough* Find a weekend editor *cough*

    I guess I could find a life but...this site dies on the weekend.
  • I love True Blood, but it doesn't really fill the hole left by the Shield. I hear Sons of Anarchy is a decent replacement--which makes sense since a former Shield writer is running it. I definitely plan on checking it out.

    Shawn Ryan's other show, The Unit, is also worth getting into IMO.
  • gooso
    so does anyone else think that its alwas sunny is going downhill?
  • Myles
    what about Stanley Kubrick?
  • This is true but sometimes, even with film news, they end up spending a lot of time on a subject I don't have any particular interest in. Sometimes it inspires me to check it out, other times i feel as you do. Just one of those things we're going to have to live with.
  • I am sure both are great shows. The problem is... if you don't follow them its get;s kind of tedious listening through repeated reviews and discussions of the same old thing. There are tons of shows that I want to check out but there is only so much time...
  • Myles here, Mavi, and know that it's on my life plan to do list. Maybe in the new year!
  • chiklis chic
    CHIKLIS RULES!!!!!!!
    chiklis and coggins better win emmys for this season.
  • I am so glad that the shield is over so we will not have to hear about it any more in the /filmcast..... Now if only they would cancel It's Only sunny in Philadelphia :D
  • So David and Devindra, what new show would you guys say has or will come in to fill the void left by The Shield's departure? For me it has to be True Blood. Its quirky/campy take on vampires and southerners was in great form throughout its first season.
  • It's a good thing Adam wasn't on the show or he would have been pretty bored during the last half.
  • next time, could you please advertise any special events on the main /film site? i wish i was there :'(
  • This episode was advertised on mine and Devindra's twitter pages yesterday morning. Completely impromptu but a few dozen people still showed up in the ustream chat. Thanks to everyone who came! it was fun.
  • was this episode advertised and i just missed it? dave, devindra, clue us in here please.
  • Sebastian
    thanks for this show! not many people here in Holland track this show, so it's good to here you guys share my opinion on this episode, and the whole season for that matter. Anyway, loved the finale. The close-up moments for both Shane and Vic were beyond words.
  • Looking forward to the Australia review on Monday.
  • dallegre
    What the hell? People are always having parties without telling me...
