Paul and Heather are joined by special guest Matt Singer (IFC News/EBERT PRESENTS) for a discussion of film podcasts and online film criticism in general, the future of DVDs, and what DVD audio commentaries we would wish into existence, if only we had the power. Plus, Paul and Heather review Gregg Araki's polymorphously perverse and narratively convoluted indie comedy KABOOM and Alejandro González Iñárritu's Oscar-nominated drama BIUTIFUL, and list the week's other most noteworthy new DVDs and Blu-Rays.

Paul and Heather review two new-to-DVD horror movies, one newfangled and bloody, the other old-fashioned and eerie. First, a secret service agent wreaks an elaborate revenge campaign against the psychopath who murdered his wife in Kim Ji-Woon's I SAW THE DEVIL; then, four strangers try to survive a mysterious wave of darkness that has caused the entire population of Detroit to disappear without a trace in VANISHING ON 7TH STREET. Plus: Heather reveals her surprising choice for her all-time favourite Orson Welles film (and perhaps her favourite film of all time), Paul gives his mini-reviews of the 1975 Warren Beatty/Jack Nicholson/Mike Nichols flop THE FORTUNE and Kimberly Reed's documentary PRODIGAL SONS, Paul and Heather recall their favourite onscreen head injuries, and finish things up with our lists of the week's other most notable new DVDs and Blu-Rays.

Paul and Heather watch as Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams travel from blissful young love to the precipice of divorce in BLUE VALENTINE, and Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith see their happy-go-lucky thrill ride take a left turn through unexpectedly violent new territory in Jonathan Demme's cult classic SOMETHING WILD. Along the way, Heather revisits THE GRADUATE, Paul serves up his mini-reviews of Hiroshi Teshigahara's PITFALL and Greg Mottola's THE DAYTRIPPERS (and rehashes his rant about the animated feature THE ILLUSIONIST), and we both reveal our respective lists of the week's other most noteworthy new DVD and Blu-Ray releases.
