Welcome to the latest episode of our official podcast, The Film Stage Show. This week, staff writer Danny King, managing editor Dan Mecca and I review Baz Luhrmann‘s The Great Gatsby. Before that, however, we take a look at radical cinematic adaptations of classic literature. Finally, we take a look at the films coming to theaters and DVD in the coming week, which include Star Trek Into Darkness, Ghostbusters, Taxi Driver, Glory, Cloud Atlas and more. Then we give you our random recommendations of things we watched on our own this week.
