In the /Filmcast, David Chen, Devindra Hardawar, and Adam Quigley debate, pontificate, and delve into the latest films, film news, television shows, and entertainment-related items from the previous week. In addition to being available for download, the /Filmcast typically broadcasts live on Monday nights at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST at Slashfilm.com/live, where listeners can join in and participate in the conversation. Weekly guests have included everyday bloggers, webmaster luminaries, and movie stars and directors from all walks of life.

It’s been an emotional whirlwind taking the Tobolowsky Files on tour in Seattle and Boston. And with the new Tobolowsky Files book coming out in August, I foresee many more shows in the future. Thanks to all who came to our Boston shows and to our sold out show at the massive Neptune Theatre in Seattle! As I mentioned on the /Filmcast, it was probably one of the single most thrilling experiences of my entire life to present this event to our fans.

Missed the shows? That’s okay, because we’ll soon be in New York and in Boston (once more) to perform a set of different stories!

On Febraury 27th at 7:00 PM, we’ll be at the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline, MA, presenting an event in conjunction with the Independent Film Festival of Boston. Buy tickets for that show by clicking here (click on the showtime on the left-hand side).

On February 28th at 7:30 PM, we’ll be at The Bell House in Brooklyn, NY. Buy tickets for that show by clicking here.

Hope to see some of you there!

The /Filmcast: After Dark is a recording of what happens right after The /Filmcast is over, when the kids have gone to bed and the guys feel free to speak whatever is on their minds. In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient audio file. In this episode, David ChenDevindra Hardawar, and Adam Quigley chat with Joanna Robinson about what the difference is between their “favorite” and the “best” films of the year, analyze the hollow phenomenon of Chuck Norris, and discuss the relative quality of Superman Returns.

Director Errol Morris has made a career out of solving mysteries, which comes as no surprise since the man used to be a private detective. Whether he was exonerating Randall Dale Adams in The Thin Blue Line or unraveling a sordid sex tale in Tabloid, Morris has deftly used his subjects to provide gripping accounts of situations that have been wrapped in intrigue and ambiguity.

In his book, Believing is Seeing, Morris turns his attention to the art of photography.  In a series of photographic whodunnits, Morris explores the truth-telling capacity of photos. His conclusion? “Photographs don’t have truth value.”

I had a chance to sit down with Morris in his Cambridge, MA office during his recent book tour and chat extensively with him about the nature of photography, the plausibility of re-enactments, and Joyce McKinney’s controversial reaction to Tabloid. After the break, read highlights of my discussion with Morris. Below, you can also download and listen to the entire hour-long interview I had with him. You can buy his book at Amazon or in bookstores. Tabloid is now also for sale on DVD.
