KPBS Film Club reviews “Shutter Island,” “Red Riding Trilogy,” “Une Prophet,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Ghost Writer” and Oscar

I don’t think the bookworm liked me.
Jerry Griswold, the director of SDSU’s National Center for the Study of Children’s Literature, was on to talk about the differences between Lewis Carroll and Tim Burton. Instead of giving me a vacation, Griswold came out swinging all because I nice things to say about the 3-D version of “Alice in Wonderland!” Made for grate radio!
My favorite shows are when Beth and I disagree on everything and today was one such example. Beth didn’t even like the Oscars and her thoughts on “Shutter Island” made me shudder!
If I seem more hurried than usual you have Marty to thank. Wanting to ensure that we didn’t go over and bump the “Shutter Island” review, I tried my best to be brief. So did our producer Angela Carone who kept the segments flying at a brisk pace in order to allow time to pay my respects to Him. The three listeners who actually put stock in my opinions needed to hear them.

KPBS Film Club producer Angela Carone actually had the gall to refer to Marty’s first narrative film in two years as “old news.”
What do I look like some type of effing moron that you say that to me?
We’ll be reviewing “Shutter Island” last on tomorrow’s show. Up until now (and the time she yelled at me for referring to all “Star Wars” fans as “morons” on the air) Angela has been a good comare. This is an outrage. It’s more important that we talk about that 974 hour “Red Riding” trilogy or the Oscars. Marty wasn’t even at this year’s Academy Awards. What is there to discuss?
Before the show is over and Beth and I will also review “Alice in Wonderland,” “A Prophet” and “Ghost Writer.”
Don’t worry. I have a plan. His will be done.
