Episode 775: In The Seats With....Mark O'Brien and 'The Voices of Our Mother'

It's those Family Ties that can really choke the life out of you...In theatres tomorrow June 12th for a limited run before it hits VOD (and eventually Shudder), we get to look at a beautifully bent piece of cinema from one of Canada's up & coming storytellers who isn't afraid to get a little bit bent.  It's time for 'The Voices of Our Mother'.When a family matriarch falls seriously ill, relatives gather and discover their shared ancestral ties bind them in unexpected ways.From Writer/Director Mark O'Brien who you might remember as an actor from memorable turns in films like 'Arrival' and 'Nuremberg' and his debut feature 'The Righteous' gives us a horror laden family drama that is steeped in some of the classics from the past.We talked about his inspirations, working with a Canadian icon like Sheila McCarthy, his appreciation for his collaborators but locally and internationally and we got a little 'Basic; about our love of movies on physical media and so very much more.'The Voices of Our Mother' is in theatres now and on VOD platforms on June 19th
