Episode 85

This episode brings upon a small change that probably means more to me than to anyone else. Eighty-five episodes in, I’ve decided on a song that will kick off most episodes of The Matineecast going forward. Up until now, I’ve been choosing songs in honour of the guests, but something tells me that was amusing me more than it was amusing anyone else. I might well use a special tune in honour of the film being discussed (as was the case with the SKYFALL episode), but going forward look for this track by My Morning Jacket to kick things off. Speaking of changes – I’m also looking to replace the “Welcome to Wherever You Are” graphic if anyone wants to hook me up with a graphic designer. As for the activities at hand, I hope you get good and comfy for this episode because it’s a long one. If I wanted to be ruthless, I could have cut it down to size, but the truth is I found the discussion just way too much fun. Therefore, I present to you the longest single-guest episode I’ve ever posted, and the third longest episode overall. Here’s what’s in store in episode eighty-five… Runtime 90 minutes Up for Discussion 1. Introduction 2. KNOW YOUR ENEMY– Q& A with this week’s guest Kurt Halfyard (1:31) 3.
