Filmspotting Top Ten

Adam Kempenaar and Sam Van Hallgren rundown the best and worst of 2006. These guys specialize in lists and handle the format with plenty of energy -- the show is over an hour long but always moves forward. On this show they have some cool guests including Ira Glass (host of This American Life on NPR), Scott Tobias (contributor at A.V. Club), and Rian Johnson (writer-director of "Brick"). An easy-going fun gabfest.
