Welcome to the latest episode of our official podcast, The Film Stage Show. This week, associate editor Nick Newman, writer Danny King and I examine the double standard of criticism applied to films which are original versus those based on other properties. Then we talk about the monsters vs. robots summer flick, Pacific Rim, by director Guillermo del Toro. Finally, we take a look at the films coming to theaters and DVD in the coming week, which include 42, Evil Dead, Only God Forgives, and more. We end by giving you our random recommendations of things watched on our own this week.
