Mindframes hosts Michael Cockerill and Dave Canfield join me for this special tribute to honor our dear friend Sergio Mims. Several years ago, I did an episode on one of his favorite directors, Michael Curtiz. Of course you are encouraged to listen to that. But I asked Mike & Dave to join me to revisit two titles in particular from Curtiz as well as recommend several others as a way of honoring the memory of Sergio. Perhaps one of these films is an all-time classic called CASABLANCA? In addition, we review a couple of recent titles like RRR and AFTERSUN. Not only that, but after our conversation, you'll get to hear Sergio one last time on this show. Over a year ago, we did a Patreon exclusive episode on THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE, only not the Curtiz version surprisingly. Wanted everyone to hear Sergio's thoughts on that excellent film since it steps things up and is more faithful to the true story than Curtiz's take. Thank you so much for listening and mucho gratitude to Mike and Dave for coming on to talk some classics. We briefly mention our love of DOCTOR X, KING CREOLE and THE SEA WOLF!

It's not possible to take too deep a dive into Stanley Kubrick's enigmatic final film "Eyes Wide Shut," but Kerry and Collin do their best and they are aided by returning guest, Dave Canfield, to dissect the Christmasy nature of this divisive film. How do the decorations inform the visual look of the film? Is it one of Nicole Kidman's best performances? What would the film be like with an all-Muppet cast? Also, Kerry and Collin introduce a new segment, "Blu-ray Gift Exchange," in which they spotlight a few new releases coming to blu-ray in February.   "We Just Say Book" segment:  "2001: A Space Odyssey"  "Barry Lyndon"  "Gold Diggers of 1933"   "Blu-ray Gift Exchange" segment: (all films from Warner Archive)  "Gold Diggers of 1933" (street date 2/8) "Edge of Darkness" (currently available) "The Three Musketeers" (street date 2/15)

The most epic episode yet! Kerry and Collin talk to five guests (separately)--Nell Minow, Sergio Mims, Peter Sobczynski, Tadd Good and Dave Canfield--about the enduring legacy, the origins, the personal attachments to and the cultural significance of Frank Capra's timeless classic, "It's A Wonderful Life." What helps it stand the test of time? Can one movie really help us get past our differences and see the world in a new light? How does the 1977 TV remake, starring Marlo Thomas, hold up? Collin and Kerry also answer listener mail and feedback. BONUS discussion at the very end about another enduring classic. 

This month, we are joined by the one and only Dave Canfield of ScreenAnarchy & Mindframes Podcast to discuss a truly fascinating filmmaker, Canada’s very own Guy Maddin. We try to get to the bottom of his visual aesthetics, discuss the nature of autobiographical filmmaking and praise several of his short films along the way. The focus this time is on the critically acclaimed The Saddest Music of the World as well as his award-winning docu-fantasia My Winnipeg, which Roger Ebert named one of the best films of the decade. In addition, we talk a lot for the what we watched segment including a psychologically complex body horror drama called Swallow, the recently acclaimed Portrait of a Lady on Fire as well a brief foray into disaster films of the late 90s! This episode has it all and we couldn’t be more grateful to Dave for coming on. See you in about a month!

"Code Pere Noel" (aka, "Dial Code Santa Claus") is the best Christmas film you've never seen or heard of. Released in France in 1989, this yuletide horror film came out a year before the similarly-themed "Home Alone," but never reached an audience in the US. We want to help change that! It's "Home Alone" meets "Rambo" meets "Silent Night, Deadly Night" meets "The Shining" meets "John Wick" with direct references from films of its era. And it's a lot of fun! Film critic Dave Canfield joins Collin and Kerry as they talk about the film's history, availability prospects and what makes it so damn special. Also, Kerry talks about "A Clockwork Orange" (1971), "VIY" (1967) and "The Haunting (1963) for the "We Just Say book" segment.

Wade is off for the week, so Kevin gets Dave Canfield of Screen Anarchy and Mindframe(s) to help him plumb the depths of two complex films: Claire Denis's sci-fi experiment High Life and Penny Lane's documentary about the Satanic Temple, Hail, Satan?

Film critic Dave Canfield joins Kerry and Collin for this deep dissection into the Ernest P. Worrell universe when they talk about "Ernest Saves Christmas" (1988). Dave also talks about his contribution to the book "Yuletide Terror: Christmas Horror On Film and Television" (see link in show notes for more info). And Kerry tells us about "Elephant" (2003), "Belle De Jour" (1967) and "The World of Apu" (1959) for the "We Just Say Book" segment.

Ric Hordinski"The rarest kind of virtuoso"For years, musicians in the know have recognized Ric Hordinski as the "guitarists' guitarist." For fans of acoustic music. Ric's function as musical director (and producer) for artists like Phil Keaggy, David Wilcox, Over The Rhine and others has sometimes elevated him to a kind of underground mythic status.Ric has appeared on records with Jim James (my Morning Jacket) Bootsy Collins, Phil Keaggy, John Mayer, David Wilcox, Ben Harper, Richard Thompson, Tony Levin, Bill Kreutzmann (Grateful Dead), Victor Wooten, Victoria Williams. Robbie Fulks and many others. As a live performer he’s shared the stage with a dizzying array of musicians: Johnny Cash, Moby, Bob Dylan, My Morning Jacket, Indigo Girls, and many others. He's produced award-winning records for a host of folks including Over The Rhine, Wilcox and Phil Keaggy. On his own, hiding behind the Monk moniker, he released six independent records that featured alternately the songwriting craft he honed during his eight years in OTR, the ambient guitar that garnered demand as a studio musician and the ear for songcraft that makes him an excellent producer. He seems to be one of the few musicians able to straddle comfortably the distance between ground-breaking avant-garde explorations (witness his association with people like David Torn) and truly beautiful pop music. Paste Music has called him " the rarest kind of virtuoso, the kind who knows when not to play" this penchant for understatement has it's rewards: ric received a Grammy nomination in 2003.quotes:"Hordinski shows himself to be the rarest kind of virtuoso - one who knows when not to play...and what not to play.... what makes Hordinski's music so compelling is that it transcends both notes and spaces, communicating to the listener something that transcends the literal." —Reid Davis, Pastemusic.com"...a remarkably talented & broadbanding pan-idiomatic artist, he's also proven to be a veritable dude ..." —David Torn"Ric is a painter, using the melodies of strings to communicate beautiful colors. He plays beautiful guitar." —Phil Keaggy"...complex and compelling. The melodies remain in my head while the lyrics circle in my memory. The words wear well as they leave room to dream. The message is good medicine, it makes me feel better every time." —David Wilcox"Ric Hordinski layers stark acoustic, twang grunge electric and pretty lap steel over ...confessional, confrontational vocals." —Guitar Player Magazine"Ric Hordinski plays and sounds like warm cashmere feels - and somehow performs a magic trick by keeping a luminous transparency in his production." —Rob Fetters"Listening to Hordinski at his best is like watching someone throw a really well worded fit. His work ...will leave you breathless." —Dave Canfield, Cornerstone Magazine

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Ontario's First Ever State of the North Summit With Opportunities and Challenges in the North: A Panel Discussion with the Business and Political Leaders from Northern Ontario The Empire Club of Canada is pleased to host a rare and very special public event featuring business and political leaders from North Ontario as they discuss, debate, and offer solutions on the opportunities and challenges of investing in the North. The panel will include: Dave Canfield, President, Northern Ontario Municipal Association, NOMA, and Mayor of Kenora Al Spacek, President, Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities, FONOM, and Mayor of Kapuskasing Lawrence Martin, Grand Chief, Mushkegowuk Council Jamie Lim, President and CEO, Ontario Forest Industries Association, OFIA Joelle Faulkner, President AreaOne Farms Gerald Panneton, Founder and Former President and Chief Executive Officer of Detour Gold Corporation The future wealth of Ontario, and indeed much of Canada, will come from Northern Ontario. Power from rivers, minerals from the Ring of Fire, lumber from the Boreal Forest, and emerging tracks of new agriculture lands are on the near horizon. Yet today, much of Ontario's northern heartland is in crisis. New power projects are mired in government bureaucracy. First Nations communities are struggling. And, there is friction between the new infrastructure and the influence of well meaning environmental groups that has stalled or cancelled projects that threaten not only the future of the North, but the prosperity of Ontario. Yet, there is much to celebrate about Ontario's north, including new investments in lumber and agriculture. Panelists: Dave Canfield, President, Northern Ontario Municipal Association, NOMA, and Mayor of Kenora Al Spacek, President, Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities, FONOM, and Mayor of Kapuskasing Lawrence Martin, Grand Chief, Mushkegowuk Council Jamie Lim, President and CEO, Ontario Forest Industries Association, OFIA Joelle Faulkner, President AreaOne Farms Gerald Panneton, Founder and Former President and Chief Executive Officer of Detour Gold Corporation *The content presented is free of charge but please note that the Empire Club of Canada retains copyright.
