... months, but I can always get my cineastic fix listening to Elvis Mitchell's interview show for KCRW in Los Angeles.

... When I first read that the film critic Elvis Mitchell had a new interview show on TCM called Under The Influence, I thought he was going to interview famous people while they were drunk. I blame the entire rest of television for that sad easy mistake. Instead it's a kind of much less annoying Inside The Actor's Studio where actors talk about the movies that influenced them.
