Worse Addictions: Episode 3
Monday, June 15, 2009 at 8:57PM 
So here we are, episode 3 of Worse Addictions. After an occassionally traumatic week in navigating an obstacle course of tricky ticketing, trips to the hospital, copious amounts of junk food, prickly state theatre patrons and a impossible web of film choices we can say we survived the 56th Sydney Film Festival. We laughed, we cried, we moaned and we fought – boy was it fun. Now that it's over there appears a void in our lives where a strict diet of five films a day used to reside. Luckily for you Scott and Josh were able to take time out before the five-hour Che marathon and lay down their thoughts on THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE, THE SKY CRAWLERS and Australian Official Competition entry BEAUTIFUL KATE as well as their top 5 films of the festival. Obviously since recoridng it has been announced that BRONSON, which we reviewed last week, was able to take home the prize – no, we can't quite believe it either. So download now and let us help you say goodbye until next year.

Sasha definitely says "Worst" but who cares!? Nice work on nabbing an intro.
The funny thing is every time I tell anyone the name of the podcast they always think I say 'Worst' also. I think it just the two sound so similar and it's even harder to say when you can't see the person. Mostly I think it's all quite amusing really.
My own take? She says 'Worse' – being there when she said it I ought to know ;-)
