Robert Budreau on Raging Bull Mar 08, 2016

Show notes

With his new Chet Baker biopic Born to Be Blue opening in Toronto this Friday and rolling out in the US later this month, writer-director Robert Budreau picks a hell of a bruiser: Raging Bull, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro’s 1980 study of self-destructive boxer Jake La Motta. Your genial host Norm Wilner keeps the ice bucket handy.

Christopher Warre Smets on Out of Sight Mar 01, 2016

Show notes

With his short film This Is Not What You Had Planned just added to the National Screen Institute’s Online Short Film Festival, writer-director Christopher Warre Smets tackles Steven Soderbergh’s Out of Sight — the movie that saved George Clooney’s career, made people take Jennifer Lopez seriously and set a bar for cinematic Elmore Leonard adaptations that stands to this day. Your genial host Norm Wilner can’t believe neither of us could remember the film was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Film Editing.

Adam Benzine on Primer Feb 23, 2016

Show notes

Before he takes his documentary Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah to the Academy Awards later this week, journalist and filmmaker Adam Benzine steals a moment to celebrate Shane Carruth's singular 2004 time-travel drama Primer. Your genial host Norm Wilner does his best not to meddle with the integrity of the conversational timeline.

Jennifer Liao on Scott Pilgrim vs the World Feb 16, 2016

Show notes

With her new movie End of Days, Inc. opening in Toronto on Friday, director Jennifer Liao brings Edgar Wright's 2010 Scott Pilgrim vs. the World into the basement to celebrate its giddy spirit, its goofy romantic heart and its authentic Toronto locations. Your genial host Norm Wilner has garlic bread at the ready.

Sarah Gadon on Cléo from 5 to 7 Feb 09, 2016

Show notes

Fresh from the set of 11/22/63, actor and filmmaker Sarah Gadon brings some serious theory— and no small amount of personal perspective—to Agnès Varda's breakthrough 1962 drama Cléo from 5 to 7. Your genial host Norm Wilner is totally on board.

Ben Lewis on Tootsie Feb 02, 2016

Show notes

Actor, writer and director Ben Lewis (Zero Recognition) tackles the farce structure and thorny gender politics of Sydney Pollack's 1982 Tootsie, the comedy that put Dustin Hoffman in a dress to make him a better man. Your genial host Norm Wilner refrains from Michael Dorsey impressions.
