Hello Columbus-ites! How was your week? Mine was pretty hectic. Work, work and more work are the themes. As Kristin described on her blog, there were plenty of screenings to keep the members of the Central Ohio Cinemarati very busy. And of course, as always, I missed a few screenings. But thankfully I have my new good friend Josh Martin on board over at Film School Rejects (it is amazing what great writers will do, even when paid only with free movie passes.)

I’m also very glad to say that FSR is growing, faster than a Flintstones’ kid. Fat Guys at the Movies, the podcast that loves boobs, is going really well. Check out Episode 4 with myself, Kevin Carr and our special (caged) guest Brian Gibson. It is sure to get you chuckling.

On a more local note, if you missed the opening night of the Deep Focus Film Fest at the Arena Grand last night, then you missed one of the better little romantic comedies of the year (”Waitress”) and you should feel shame.
