Would you trust these men? If you believe “Step Brothers,” you shouldn’t
Another week, another batch of audio clips courtesy of McClatchy Interactive:
“Mad Men,” AMC’s show about hard-edged men and women during advertising’s Golden Age, has garnered an astounding 16 Emmy Award nominations, and no wonder. It’s smart, original and — most importantly — a smoky, boozy, sexy portrait of the era.
Star Elisabeth Moss talks about her newfound connection to the ’60s.

Meanwhile, the documentary “Man on Wire” takes a fresh look at tightrope walker Philippe Petit’s high-stakes stroll between the World Trade Center towers in 1974. As Petit shares here, it was a terrifying, but thrilling experience.

“Step Brothers,” the new movie starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, is daring in a different way.
The movie follows two grown men who become stepbrothers when their single parents marry. As you might guess from a film directed by Adam McKay and produced by Judd Apatow, their relationship is a mix of boyish exuberance and violent, foul-mouthed antagonism.
Check out this scene from “Step Brothers.” You’ll hear the voices of Ferrell, Reilly, Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen.
