Hosts: David McVay & Josh Philpott
Welcome to the brand new Film Actually News for February 27th, 2012. This week underrated superhero movies, Harvey Weinstein fights with the MPAA, Fox News attacks more ‘liberal’ kids films and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson might play Hercules. All this plus much, much more!
What used to be a boring, stuffy film section of the Film Actually podcast has been spun off into it’s own, we hope, more entertaining show. We don’t make the news, we just have fun with it. Film Actually News – Loud, Fast and Under Thirty Minutes… or your money back.
