/Filmcast Ep. 160 - Contagion (GUEST: Alison Willmore From Movieline & AV Club)

This week, Dave, Devindra, and Adam discuss Mel Gibson's next sure-to-be-controversial product, praise the brilliance of Children's Hospital, get disappointed by the studio feel of Warrior, and wonder whether or not Attack the Block is a perfect movie. Guest Alison Willmore joins us from Movieline and AV Club.
