This certainly has been a week for TV rumors. First off, on Wednesday, Slash Film posted a conversation co-star Kristen Chenoweth had with TV Guide Magazine about the possibility of a movie to wrap-up loose ends of the canceled show Pushing Daisies. This would be welcome news for fans, including myself, as at the midseason cliffhanger, all kinds of shenanigans were going on, with explanations apparently to be forthcoming. Three episodes have yet to be aired and their fate is currently undetermined. It would be wonderful if ABC would allow the show to reveal all of its secrets, even if it was only in a TV movie or a direct-to-DVD release. The cult following of the show should be worth the effort.On Saturday, Slash Film also broke the rumors of a film-version of Jericho. This particular show had the honor of being revived from cancelation after great protesting by fans, albeit for only a short while. As Slash Film puts it, the show "refuses to stay dead." The movie adaptation would take the apocolyptic setting beyond the small town and spread it across the nation, putting everything on a much grander scale. While I have never watched Jericho, I wish the fans best of look as we watch these rumors unfold.

This may be a bit 'Off Topic', but you may find Mark Kermode's film reviews entertaining. They are broadcast during the Simon Mayo Radio program on BBC 5, on Friday afternoons, but they are available as a Podcast at

The banter between the two presenters can be a bit bizarre sometimes, but this never hides the fact that Dr Kermode is undoubtedly a man who loves films.
One may disagree with his opinions, but his arguments are generally sound.
Thanks Cyberkim for the tip! I listened to their latest podcast with broadcast with breakfast and did find it very interesting.
