Episode 57

As much as I love talking to new guests – and a new one will be in the hot seat for episode fifty-eight – I get a little extra boost when my friends stop by. What’s more, it’s probably fitting that today’s guest became a closer friend after one or two podcasts. In an amusing twist, we warn folks about how spoilerific we are going to get regarding CABIN IN THE WOODS, and then proceed to not get all that spoilerific. I guess that’s what happens when a film’s crux is unveiled the way it is for this particular film. One last note, the schedule as you have become used to it is about to be thrown for a loop as the Hot Docs festival approaches. There will be podcasting content in that time, but it will be more focused on festival events. The regular format will return in three weeks’ time, and then resume it’s every-other-week schedule going forward into the summer. Here’s what’s in store in episode fifty-seven… Runtime 71 minutes, 22 seconds Up for Discussion 1. Introduction 2. KNOW YOUR ENEMY– Q& A with this week’s guest Jess Rogers from Reel Insight (3:55) 3.
