What a difference a month can make, eh?  Today's episode was recorded on Oscar Sunday, which couldn't be more apparent than now, given all the happenings 'round ol' planet Earth.

That said, now you've got no excuse to hunker down and watch this week's movie, 2002's seemingly forgotten "Dirty Pretty Things".  Despite its horrible title, this movie isn't about pretty things, though it could be said the seedy underbelly of humanity can make up for the "dirty" part of the title.  The movie takes on some rather topical and still-relevant topics, like immigration and the things people have to suffer through to achieve it.  Chad takes this time to introduce co-host Mark to this week's movie.

Performers of note: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Audrey Tautou, Sergi Lopez, Sophie Okonedo, Benedict Wong, Zlatko Buric, Steven Frears.
