Movie & An Argument: "The Hobbit," Bill Murray, and the Golden Globes (12-14-12)

On this week's episode of A Movie & An Argument, With Alyssa Rosenberg & Asawin Suebsaeng, we discuss: 1. The nominations for the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, and what we hate/like about them. 2. Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey." 3. Bill Murray as Franklin D. Roosevelt in "Hyde Park on Hudson." Each week, I (Mother Jones "movie guy" Asawin Suebsaeng) will be sitting down to chat with ThinkProgress critic Alyssa Rosenberg (who also does killer work at The Atlantic and Slate's "Double X"). 'll talk, argue, and laugh about the latest movies, television shows, and pop-cultural nonsense—with some politics thrown in just for the hell of it. Alyssa describes herself as being "equally devoted to the Star Wars expanded universe and Barbara Stanwyck, to Better Off Ted and Deadwood." I (everyone calls me Swin) am a devoted lover of low-brow dark humor, Yuengling, and movies with high body counts. I hope you enjoyed this episode, and tune in during the weeks to come. We'll be featuring guests on the program, and also taking listeners' questions, so feel free to Tweet them at me @swin24, and we'll see if we can get to them during a show. Thanks for listening!
