Loved the Ben Foster interview. He truly is a great OTG performer. I also just watched The Messenger this past weekend, thanks to the local film festival going on here in my hometown. And for as much as I loved Foster's performance, I kind of think that the movie was stolen right out from under him, by Woody Harrelson. His performance starts off with that caricaturistic "bravado" and coolness, that we learn is just a facade. (And Woody Harrelson asking if you IM, is priceless) But, that last scene in Foster's apartment, and how Woody reacts to his story, THAT is what made that movie for me. Well, that and Steve Buscemi - who I agree with you (Jett) that this is probably his best performance since either Ghost World or possibly his role on The Sopranos. <br><br>And just to continue with the end of the episode, and the ass-kissing segments. I've thoroughly enjoyed your show. I've told all of the limited number of people I know about the show. And it makes me sad to see the fundraiser bubble hovering at the bottom of the funds needed; and more specifically, the number of days/weeks left til the probable end of the show. (not to be a 'glass 3/4 empty' kind of person)<br><br>But, I'll keep listening to the end - or forever, and then when I finally get around to seeing Andrei Rublev, the opening theme to the show will play in my head and I will either think, "Jett was right", or I won't. (It's currently #8 on my Netflix queue. For some strange reason, I feel that I have to see the movie, Crank, before Tarkovsky's movie.) Great show, fellas. Loved the Ben Foster interview.
