Catch the Captain on WFYI next Friday!

Good news: I'll be guest hosting Matthew Socey's "Film Soceyology" show on WFYI 90.1 HD2 next Friday (June 5) from 5-6 p.m. I've had the pleasure of appearing on the show before, and Matthew graciously tapped me to sub for him while he's vacationing.

Thanks, Matthew! I'll be the Joan Rivers to your Johnny Carson anytime!

Joining me will be my partner-in-crime over at The Film Yap, Joe Shearer. Join us as we review new movies, including "Land of the Lost," "The Hangover," "My Life in Ruins" and "Tyson." We've got a whole hour to be as expansive as we'd like, and we look forward to your calls and e-mails.

If you don't have satellite radio, you can listen live here.

Oscar countdown: Day 3

In case Sunday's radio spot wasn't going to be enough for you, I'll also be appearing on Matthew Socey's new film show, "Film Soceyology," on the local NPR affiliate. (As Matt put it to me, "What good's a name like this if you can't put it to use?") That will be this Friday at 5 p.m. on WFYI HD-2. If you don't have an HD radio receiver, you can listen to it live on www.wfyi.org.

Our old friend Lou Harry, the A&E editor of Indianapolis Business Journal, will be joining us. We'll talk about the Oscars, the ups and downs, and which starlet will have the most killer dress. OK, I was kidding about that last part.

By the way, "Three Amigos" was nominated for exactly zero Oscars, and most critics gave it a pasting. But I always found it to be very funny.That take where they're in the desert and Steve Martin and Martin Short's canteens are bone dry, and they turn to Chevy Chase and he's just gulping down water, sloshing it over his face, cracks me up every time.
