In the Season Two finale I am joined by superstar editor Matt Hannam (Enemy, Swiss Army Man, The OA, White Noise) to talk about the ultra-depressing and incredibly innovative Requiem for a Dream. Did Miranda July get "pooping back and forth" from watching the ass-to-ass scene in this film? Yes. Well, I don't know for sure, but...yes.
Thank you for listening. If you enjoyed the season let me know by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts! xoxo -
"Dear God, guide us and protect us. We are too young to reign." On this week's episode I'm joined by a French-Canadian queen to talk about THE French queen and the injustices that both she and director Sofia Coppola have suffered. Magali Simard (TIFF Programmer, Toronto Film Development Manager) and I are quietly outraged about the way this film was received. It is a movie that was truly ahead of its time. Long Live Marie Antoinette.

This motion picture is a grim foreshadowing of Britney's real life. It's uncanny how many things in the story wound up playing out in Brit Brit's IRL timeline. Producer and Southern belle Jacki Calleiro gets into this Shonda Rimes/Tamra Davis spectacle of teen suffering with me. We also talk about Frances Farmer, Kim Cattrall's day-play, felons crossing state lines with minors, and much more.

It's the movie that dares to ask "Fellas, is it gay to hug?"
Filmmaker and hunk Carlo Guillermo Proto (El Huaso, Resurrecting Hassan) joins me to talk about the shockingly f-slurless Good Will Hunting. Directed by queer auteur Gus Van Sant, this extremely straight movie will have you in tears simply because a couple bros open up about their feelings. If you love this movie as much as we do, "It's not your fault." -
Yellowjackets director and producer Jamie Travis joins me to talk about the 1992 "lady thriller" The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Annabella Sciorra, Rebecca De Mornay, Ernie Hudson, Matt McCoy, and Julianne Moore star in this wild, upsetting, and incredibly entertaining movie about a psychotic usurping nanny.

Writer Katie Silberman (Don't Worry Darling, Booksmart, Set It Up, and a super secret upcoming Marvel movie) is a master of storytelling and a MAJOR fan of The First Wives Club. This 1996 adaptation of the Olivia Goldsmith novel stars absolutely everyone, but mostly Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, Stockard Channing, Maggie Smith, Elizabeth Berkley, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Darren Stein - writer and director of Jawbreaker, Sparkler, and Put the Camera on Me - joins me to talk about Peter Bogdanovich's 1985 tearjerker Mask*. Cher, Eric Stoltz, Laura Dern, and Sam Elliott star in the biopic about Rocky Dennis, a teenager with a big ole face.
*Not to be confused with THE Mask starring Jim Carrey. -
"It's a good old-fashioned fag-drag." Filmmaker Matt Kenchington, noted heterosexual and one of my nearest and dearest friends, joins me in this episode to talk about gay shit. Get out your hanky.

The Holiday is a delightfully boring movie. At Criterinot, we're fans not critics, but we do shit-talk this movie quite a bit and still come out the other end loving it. Other topics this episode include Jerry Seinfeld's bee fetish, why moms love pan flute music, people being "90s hot", and Amanda Knox. My guest this week, Jennifer Shin, is Director of Development for Comedy at The CBC.

Writer/director Jordan Canning (Schitt's Creek, Fraggle Rock, Baroness von Sketch, We Were Wolves) joins me this week to talk about Robert Zemeckis and Diane Thomas's 1984 adventure comedy Romancing the Stone. Kathleen Turner stars as the romance novelist turned reluctant adventurer Joan Wilder. Along with the pits and pratfalls that Joan deals with while trying to save her sister in Cartagena, Colombia, we get into the pits and pratfalls of filmmaking itself.

Look out Tucson, here we come! The inimitable comedian and elusive chantuese Tranna Wintour is here to talk about 1997’s Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, written by Robin Schiff and directed by David Mirkin. We go deep on this 90s classic featuring an incredible cast that includes Mira Sorvino (hot on the heels of her Oscar win), Lisa Kudrow, Janeane Garofalo, Alan Cumming, Justin Theroux and Camryn Manheim.

To Die For (1995) is not just this week’s movie, it’s how I’d describe my guest. The wonderful Bayne Gibby (The Comeback, Enlightened, Ladybird) is on the podcast this week to gush with me about Nicole Kidman in Gus Van Sant’s "black comedy-drama crime film.”

White Chicks is a fever dream of a movie and I'm a huge fan. My guest, Oscar and Emmy-nominated director Hubert Davis is also a fan. Directed, written, and produced by Keenen Ivory Wayans, this perfect movie stars the incredible Shawn and Marlon Wayans, B*sy Ph*l*pps, Dexter's Sister, Terry Crews, Jaime King, Frankie Faison, and my high school crush Lochlyn Munro. Thanks.

Strangers in Good Company is my favourite Canadian film (full disclosure, I haven't seen the unauthorized Céline Dion biopic yet...so, that could change). I'm joined by actor, comedian, and fellow Stranger-head John Early (Search Party, I Think You Should Leave, and an IMDb STARmeter score of 13,959) to laugh and cry together about this fabulous gang of eight women who get stranded in the middle of nowhere in Québec.

Don't watch this movie.
The unmatchable Lara Marie Schoenhals joins me to talk about this huge bummer of a movie that we both love and hate. David Fincher. Gwyneth Paltrow. Morgan Freeman. Brad Pitt. Kevin Spacey. -
Beetlejuice is a magic trick of a movie and nobody knows that better than my guest, comedian and writer Liza Dye.

Hail to the Guardians of the Watchtowers of the Notties! It's October so I guess it's time to catch up with "The Bitches of Eastwick." Grammy nominated music video and short film director David Wilson (Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, M83, Tame Impala, Metronomy) hops on the pod to talk with me about Andrew Fleming's teen witch drama The Craft. The movie was released in 1996 and stars Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Rachel True, Skeet Ulrich, and Christine Taylor.

It was the ass that launched a thousand gays. Nancy Jo Sales (journalist, writer of The Bling Ring, director of Swiped on HBO) joins me to talk about Roger Kumble's interpretation of Dangerous Liaisons. We get into the good and the bad, the unparalleled soundtrack, the incredible performances of Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and of course...Ryan Phillippe's bu-bu-bu-butt.
