Is it a 2010 or a 2009 release? Things get confusing on Dan and Vicky's 17th Hot Date. They chose a random date in January of 2010, usually a deadly month for movies, and came up with the fairly classy Michael Hoffman film, The Last Station starring Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren. The film was dropped in a few theaters for an Oscar qualifying run in late 2009, but actually went wide in January of the following year, hence the confusion. But the Academy wasn't confused and the strategy paid off with Oscar nominations for both stars.
Dan and Vicky examine the drama, based on the last few months of famed Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy's life, and chek hov their likes and dislikes. Also, Vicky rages against the Entourage movie, pushy New York subway riders and know-it-all podcasters. Ke$ha and Nicky Minaj pay a visit. And Dan discusses the 11(!) horror movies he watched at the Scary Movie 9 Festival at Lincoln Center.
You should be russian to listen to Hot Date 17: The Last Station. Dan and Vicky are bringing the war and the peace!
