FilmWonk Podcast - Episode #69 - "Chappie" (dir. Neill Blomkamp) - Free Audiobook

This week, Glenn and Daniel learn that Chappie's got stories, that the members of Die Antwoord aren't half-bad actors, and that Neill Blomkamp isn't done impressing us, despite his sophomore misstep (50:51). May contain NSFW language. FilmWonk rating: 7.5 out of 10 Show notes:

• Music for tonight's episode is "I Fink U Freeky" by Die Antwoord. The video is well worth a look - I was first exposed to it at the OneReel Film Festival in 2013, at which point I commented, "Meth is a hell of a drug." That opinion is unchanged - but I've since developed a pretty high opinion of Yolandi and Ninja's skill with theatricality.

• R20,000,000 ZAR (South African rand) = $1.6 million USD (US dollars). Not a small sum in any case.

• CORRECTION: Meredith Woerner from io9 referred to this as "a bad movie", not "a dumb movie". Our bad.
