His latest chance to effortlessly steal scenes arrives in Ti West's wonderfully slow-burning, retro-horror flick, "The House of the Devil". In this podcast, Noonan and Aaron spoke about his dramatic workshops, being naturally creepy, why he never reads the whole script, and anecdotal remembrances of working with John Cassavetes, Michael Mann, and Michael Cimino - "just a terrible human being."

Is "Welcome to the Dollhouse" auteur Todd Solondz a misanthrope, or a humanist whose characters just happen to engage in ugly, perverse, cruel behavior?

Has Quentin Tarantino matured as a filmmaker, or does his talky WWII actioner Inglourious Basterds prove yet another indulgent film pastiche? Is its Jewish revenge plot cathartic, or merely insensitive? Or can we chalk its sadism up to a writer's irreverence, and ignore its political incorrectness entirely? It's just a movie, right?

He also, much to the confusion of people who identify him as a thespian, won an Oscar for a nifty 1994 short film he wrote and directed (Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life), but it's his insult-tossing, handily scene-stealing performance in In the Loop with which people will soon associate him. Calling Capaldi in the UK, Aaron is certainly to blame for giving him the green flag to use creative obscenities, but he's proud that it dug up "Tucker's Law," a dirty joke that went too far and had to be cut.

Since its premiere at this year's Sundance, the officially too-often-cited "mumblecore bromance" was picked up by Magnolia Pictures after a six-company bidding war, played a handful of renowned fests including SXSW and Cannes, and in the interim, had its buzz cranked a few more decibels when Shelton won the 2009 "Someone to Watch" Spirit Award for last year's My Effortless Brilliance. Aaron chatted with Shelton and lead actors Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard, at the Magnolia offices -- though Shelton wound up laughing herself literally under the conference room table, courtesy of her co-stars' irreverent banter.

(Both of whom will be teaching virtually via Skype.) Aaron spoke with Hauer who called from his hotel in the Netherlands to discuss this year's edition of the FilmFactory, why he hasn't collaborated with Verhoeven since 1985's Flesh + Blood, and the experience of doing love scenes for Nicolas Roeg with the director's then-wife Theresa Russell.

Co-written by married novelists Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, it's the first feature from director Sam Mendes that I've liked, perhaps because it's so warm and engaging that it doesn't seem like a Sam Mendes film. Janney was even lovelier in person than I imagined as we sat down to discuss my home state of Arizona, why she appreciates political doublespeak, the reason she thinks she'd be an awful mother, and the illicit on-set behavior of Sam Mendes (don't sue me, Sam Mendes!).
