Joey Klein on James White Nov 29, 2016

Show notes

Before his new drama The Other Half opens in Toronto and Vancouver this Friday, writer-director Joey Klein drops in to talk about his admiration for James White, Josh Mond’s harrowing 2015 character study starring Christopher Abbott as a disintegrating New Yorker doing his best to care for his dying mother. Your genial host Norm Wilner is ready to go deep on this one.

Becky Johnson on Badlands Nov 22, 2016

Show notes

Actor and improviser Becky Johnson, currently onstage in Toronto’s Second City revue Come What Mayhem, celebrates the seductive pull of Terrence Malick’s Badlands in an episode that winds through philosophy, grace and the human fascination of violence. Your genial host Norm Wilner couldn’t be happier with that.

Douglas Trumbull on How the West Was Won Nov 18, 2016

Show notes

What’s this? A special Friday bonus episode? And it features living legend Douglas Trumbull on how the experience of seeing How the West Was Won in glorious Cinerama led him to dedicate his life to expanding our conception of cinema? Your genial host Norm Wilner hopes you don’t mind.

Torri Higginson on Wings of Desire Nov 15, 2016

Show notes

She stars in CBC’s family drama This Life and can be seen this Friday in the theatrical release The History of Love, but right now actor Torri Higginson wants to share her love for Wim Wenders’ compassionate masterwork Wings of Desire. And you should listen to her, because your genial host Norm Wilner is feeling like love and compassion are in pretty short supply these days.

Dan Payne on Seven Psychopaths Nov 08, 2016

Show notes

You saw him under several pounds of makeup in Star Trek Beyond as Enterprise security guard Wadjet, but this week actor Dan Payne is just his ordinary, enthusiastic self as he discusses Martin McDonagh’s 2012 caper comedy Seven Psychopaths. Your genial host Norm Wilner really hopes there’s an America left to enjoy this episode.

Lucas Neff on All the President’s Men Nov 01, 2016

Show notes

The U.S. election is just a week away, so it’s the ideal time for actor Lucas Neff (Fear, Inc., I Love You Both, ABC’s upcoming Downward Dog) to discuss the still sadly relevant All the President’s Men. And if you’re in Toronto on Thursday November 3rd, come see your genial host Norm Wilner introduce a screening of Alan J. Pakula’s perfect political procedural at the Revue Cinema with Brendan Canning!

Mark Gagliardi on Center Stage Oct 25, 2016

Show notes

Recorded live in New York City, actor Mark Gagliardi — whom you may know as Croach the Tracker on The Thrilling Adventure Hour, or as himself on Drunk History and We Got This With Mark and Hal — shares his entirely genuine love for Nicholas Hytner’s 2000 theater-kid melodrama Center Stage. Your genial host Norm Wilner can see the appeal.

Jean Grae on Fight Club Oct 18, 2016

Show notes

In the first of two episodes recorded earlier this month in New York City, Jean Grae drops by the show to discuss Fight Club, and how she finds inspiration from David Fincher’s rebellious counterculture comedy, which really puts the “cult” in “cult cinema”. Your genial host Norm Wilner is Jack’s intense curiosity.

Paul Sun-Hyung Lee on Jaws Oct 11, 2016

Show notes

Somebody finally picked Jaws! And it’s actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who stars in the new CBC comedy Kim’s Convenience! The result is a journey through Steven Spielberg’s 1975 blockbuster — you know, the one with the shark — with a full appreciation for its thrilling energy, thoughtful character work and timeless power. This is the episode your genial host Norm Wilner has been waiting for.

Hugh Gibson on Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country Oct 04, 2016

Show notes

His excellent new documentary The Stairs opens this Friday at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, and Hugh Gibson marks the occasion by talking about Nicholas Meyer’s Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the last big-screen adventure of the original series cast. No, Generations doesn’t count. Your genial host Norm Wilner will explain why.
