Episode 257: The 2021 Toronto International Film Festival

Continuing the recent trend of covering major film festivals virtually, Erik Childress is once again joined by Sergio Mims who gets to add the discussion with a lot more movies. They wade through a lineup that included a number of music documentaries ranging from rock to jazz, a pair of stunning crime docs about real-life standoffs with police in the 1970s and even one for the foodies. They discuss some of the worst films they saw which gives Erik the opportunity to weigh in on The Eyes of Tammy Faye. But there is plenty of room for positivity as well as they reveal their favorite films from the fest as well. 0:00 - Intro 2:49 - The Eyes of Tammy Faye 22:41 – Oscar Peterson: Black and White 27:25 - Listening to Kenny G 32:21 – Beba 36:11 – Jagged 42:35 – Dionne Warwick FULL TITLE 47:37 – Lakewood 53:22 – Learn to Swim 59:06 – Dashcam 1:04:11 – Julia 1:14:52 – Saloum 1:19:27 – Jockey 1:22:50 – Montana Story 1:25:35 – Attica 1:35:02 – Hold Your Fire 1:42:18 – Benediction 1:53:33 – The Survivor 1:57:47 – The Electrical Life of Louis Wain 2:07:40 – The Power of the Dog This is a public episode.
