SONIC CYCLE EP. 127 : CUFF PT. 3. Last CUFF Cycle this week, with another couple of films we get to discuss! To kick things off, I'm joined by Delilah Napier & Lucy Powers, the Writers, Directors and Stars of FLOATING CAROUSEL, a brilliant Rom-Com twisting together a bunch of love stories, with a bit of a dark turn. After that, I'm joined by Kyle Misak (Writer, Director & Producer) and Don Chase (Production Designer) from BAD HAIRCUT, a wild ride of a Horror-Comedy! Back to normal Cycles next week, less chatting and more music, but I close the show out by thanking the listeners and CUFF for indulging me!Playlist: Kaelin Ellis, Madison McFerrin, SWEATA - Hello.MorningNancy Walker - Cabinet ShuffleNoname, theMIND - Sunny DuetJalen Ngonda - Hang It On The ShelfTom Misch - Slow TonightBuddy - MarmaladeJames Blake - Days Go By

Following that interview, I'm joined by Ed Dougherty, a Writer, Director and Producer of the incredibly engaging Horror-Comedy Anthology film GRIND, containing 4 stories highlighting struggles within the gig economy and hustle cultures.Playlist: Dominique Fils-Aimé - The WavesLou Phelps - Tu T'en SouviensBel and Quinn - Chant pour demainAtley King - ContextTerrace Martin - Misread Texts

SONIC CYCLE EP. 125 : CUFF Interviews Pt. 1. On this week's Cycle - and for the rest of April - I'll be devoting the majority of my show to interviewing cast/crew who have films screening during the 2026 Calgary Underground Film Festival (CUFF)! In the first half of the episode, I'm joined by Stephen Saltarelli, director of KINGS OF VENICE; a documentary about the wildly entertaining Paddle Tennis community of Venice Beach. In the 2nd half of the episode, I'm joined by Paula González-Nasser to discuss her directorial debut THE SCOUT; a beautifully shot & acted narrative feature following a location scout who is trying to find a house for an upcoming TV Series' filming. Tune in to hear two super different, but incredibly insightful interviews, and get ready for CUFF, running from April 16th to April 26th.
