Runtime77 minutes Show Contents: 0:00 Introduction 2:05 Discussion of a Campaign to Save Toronto’s Regent Cinema 7:00 Know Your Enemy: Kelly Zemnickis 21:27 The New Slang: UNCUT GEMS 57:05 The Other Side: Kelly and Ryan talk further reading after The Safdie Brothers’ new film Thoughts From Your Host… After two straight episodes of lengthy discussion, we return you to a show you can listen to on your commute back and forth to work. In the words of Maui, “You’re welcome“. The bad news when it comes to podcasting in January is that there are so very few new releases in theatres worth talking about. The good news is that with so many holdovers from December getting their wide release, there’s a lot of easy work-arounds to choose from. The workaround we chose for this week lends itself to talk of curry, prom pantsuits, halva, and single screen local theatres. Truly – I cannot think of a better year to start a new decade of shows. Pull up a chair and enjoy. Godspeed, Neil.
