Our coverage of the 56th San Francisco International Film Festival concludes with our traditional 'roundtable' discussion of Festival-screened films and other goings on. Joining us will be a couple of old friends of the show - Lincoln Spector, webmaster of bayflicks.net, a great site to seek out for everything cinema in the San Francisco Bay Area, and John "A Pass" Angelico, who blogs on the San Francisco Chronicle's sfgate.com site under the heading "Culture Blog." Join us as we discuss what we loved, what we liked, and what we hated at this year's Festival.

This week, on a very special Worst Show on the Web, we welcome Jeremy Frindel. Jeremy is the director of “One Track Heart”, a soon-to-be-released documentary that chronicles the journey of Grammy nominee Krishna Das - from rock-star hopeful to world renowned kirtan wallah - with detours through drug abuse and depression. Join us as we discuss Krishna Das, his life, his music, and his rise to mainstream fame. Bringing you the absolute worst in covering something that is actually wonderful and web talk radio… guaranteed

We know what you're thinking: "Where's the title for today's show?" No, this isn't just another average episode of the WSOTW, tonight we are graced by Mike Celestino the filmaker behind "That's Not Funny", a documentary about when humor goes "too far." We'll discuss Mike's film, his Kickstarter campaign, and just where exactly the line is drawn between "funny" and "offensive" (we like to know where that boundary is so we can make note of the next time we cross it.) Bringing you the absolute worst in offensive humor and web talk radio... guaranteed!

We return to the darkened recesses of the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas to begin our coverage of the 56th San Francisco International Film Festival. Rather than make the effort to write a flowery introduction, here's how the San Francisco Film Society puts it -

Were you bewildered or perturbed when immediately following the Academy Awards your friend's Facebook picture went green? Are you a fan of the amazing visual effects (VFX) that are such an integral part of the movie experience these days? Have you ever wondered about the unsung heroes who work long hours creating the digital props and sets that make movie magic work?

This week we will be speaking with independent filmmakers Kasi Brown and Brandon Walter. They recently crowd-funded their own feature film, "Gone Doggy Gone," which goes into production later this month. Our goal is to talk with them about their project and what it is like to write, fund and produce it themselves. Later, if they are both still alive, we plan to have them back after production to tell us how it all went. Bringing you the absolute worst in crowd funded entertainment, guaranteed!

This is a match made in heaven! Join us as we speak with Amber Dusick, creator of crappypictures.com and author of "Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures".

At the Worst Show on the Web we pride ourselves on our superior intellect. Superior to what we have yet to determine, but we think we are fairly smart guys. So tonight, since we don't have a scheduled guest, we are going to try something a little different. Inane facts! We are going to try to stump each other with inane facts and useless trivia. Did you know that the plastic thing on the ends of a shoelace are called "aglets"? Well, now you do.

Bringing you the absolute worst in quality information, guaranteed!

If you don't know what the "Westboro Baptist Church" is, you have been living under a rock. It is the fundamentalist Christian "Church" whose members picket the funerals of soldiers (among others). If you don't know who Brick Stone is, you are in luck. Brick (or more precisely comedian Dave Sirus, who plays Brick Stone,) will be our guest tonight. We will be talking about his personal experiences which include, among other things, trying to engage the Westboro church members in comedic discourse during many of their protests.

Join us as we do what we've never done before... a wrap up of the Academy Awards. If you're like Jon and living under a rock, then you'll learn who won what, who wore what, and who the host was. Bringing you the absolute worst in Oscar coverage and web talk radio... guaranteed!
