Last week we wrote an article about The Wright Stuff, a film festival at The New Beverly Cinema in LA being put on by Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright. Among many cult classics in the line-up were Bugsy Malone, Flash Gordon, The Last Boy Scout, American Werewolf in London, Tremors, and plenty others. In addition to Edgar Wright introducing each movie, a special quest was in attendance and here's the good news - the guys over at Metroblogging LA have recorded the Q&As each night for all of us who don't live in LA to listen to! If I lived there I would've been there every night, but I guess these podcasts will have to suffice.

CHUD's Devin Farci has been in attendance every night and he's been loving the hell out of it, even running into Zoe Bell and Diablo Cody. Tonight's line-up includes American Werewolf in London & Tremors with special guest John Landis. I would kill to be there for the final nights where they're showing Raising Arizona & Evil Dead 2, but alas, I'm stuck here in snowy Colorado. For the rest of the schedule, read our original post or head to newbevcinema.com.

Metroblogging has the first 3 podcasts up from the first 3 nights:

Edgar Wright with Paul Williams at the New Beverly - 12/2/07

Edgar Wright with Timothy Dalton & Joe Dante at the New Beverly - 12/5/07

Coming later tonight... Edgar Wright with Shane Black at the New Beverly - 12/7/07

I'm quite impressed at this whole thing and what's apparently one hell of a film fest. Devin has said that the "screenings have been remarkably well attended, and I want that tradition to continue!" Me too, because whenever I move to LA I want to be able to attend the next Wright Stuff film fest!
